So first we have C, which is the middle finger on the left hand, then we have B, the pointer alone on the left hand, then you would add A with your middle finger you would add G with your ring finger. We then have to leave these down to produce the next notes. We have F sharp, which you play with the middle finger of the right hand, then F, the pointer. Then E. You would add your middle finger to the pointer, and D, you would add your ring finger to that. We also have the notes C sharp, which you let go of all fingers. Once again, when you press the active key, you can turn any of these notes one octave higher.
