Finger notes for this arpeggio?

Featured Replies

I'm teaching myself piano and this arpeggio is the only thing stopping me from playing Schala and the Queen at tempo.

What fingering would you use for the right hand here?

What are the good reference sources for learning the theory behind how to figure this out? I think I probably need to start practicing something a level or two below this. Just a book of arpeggios with good-habit finger notes would be amazing. Does that exist?

Also, you could check out ABRSM Scales and Arpeggios books from Initial Grade to Grade 8.
