“The 4th finger is usually used only once in an octave. The 4th finger is important because if you know the position of the 4th
finger, you can figure out the position of the other fingers. Because of this, the 4th finger of each hand and the degree of the
scale it falls on is shown at the top of the scale pages that follow for each major and minor scale. When there is an exception
itis so noted just above the music.3
