One-octave fingering.
One-octave reference. Finger numbers appear only for the hand and direction combinations covered by the sources listed above.
Use this E flat major scale piano reference to read E♭–F–G–A♭–B♭–C–D–E♭. The seven different notes become eight played notes when the tonic repeats at the octave. The key signature has B♭, E♭ and A♭; keep those flats in the spelling when you descend.
The half steps are G–A♭ and D–E♭. A♭ and B♭ are consecutive scale notes, but they are a whole step apart. In E flat major scale piano practice, identify these distances before reading finger numbers: scale degrees describe notes, while finger numbers describe the hand.
The displayed one-octave right-hand ascent uses 2–1–2–3–4–1–2–3. The left-hand ascent uses 3–2–1–4–3–2–1–2. Choose Descending to read each note with its returning finger. These E flat major scale piano rows cover one octave; their ending fingers do not prescribe a connection into another octave.
Suggested E flat major scale piano practice: play G–A♭–B♭–C with right-hand fingers 2–3–4–1, then return with 1–4–3–2. Next compare the left-hand G–A♭ crossing. Combine the fragments into one octave when comfortable. This is a practice suggestion derived from the displayed notes and fingering, not a claim about learning speed.
Each degree of E♭ major has a name, and stacking every other note from that degree gives the triad built on it. Roman numerals use capitals for major triads, lower case for minor and ° for diminished.
C minor is the relative minor of E♭ major. Both keys use the same notes and key signature, but the minor key starts on degree 6.
E♭ major uses three black keys: E♭, A♭ and B♭.

| Degree | Note | Degree name | Triad | Triad notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | E♭ | Tonic | I · E♭ major | E♭ – G – B♭ |
| 2 | F | Supertonic | ii · F minor | F – A♭ – C |
| 3 | G | Mediant | iii · G minor | G – B♭ – D |
| 4 | A♭ | Subdominant | IV · A♭ major | A♭ – C – E♭ |
| 5 | B♭ | Dominant | V · B♭ major | B♭ – D – F |
| 6 | C | Submediant | vi · C minor | C – E♭ – G |
| 7 | D | Leading tone | vii° · D diminished | D – F – A♭ |
Adding a seventh to the dominant triad gives V7, the dominant seventh of E♭ major. B♭7: B♭ – D – F – A♭.
E♭, F, G, A♭, B♭, C and D. The key signature lists three flats in the order B♭, E♭, A♭. G–A♭ and D–E♭ are the half-step pairs.
The shown right-hand row starts on E♭ with finger 2; the left-hand row starts with finger 3. Read the selected hand’s row rather than applying one hand’s numbers to the other.
In the displayed right-hand ascent, use 3–4–1. Returning over C–B♭–A♭ uses 1–4–3. Finger numbers refer to this one-octave version.
No. Its sourced finger numbers cover one octave for both hands and directions. Connecting another octave may change an ending finger, so do not extend the row automatically.
