Questions
- How do I get the fingering for DANCE OF THE SUGAR PLUM FAIRY?
- Open the Piano Fingering tool, upload a MusicXML or MIDI of DANCE OF THE SUGAR PLUM FAIRY, and it suggests a finger on every note for both hands. Adjust anything, then export MusicXML, a PDF sheet, or a Synthesia package.
- Can the fingering match my hand size?
- Yes. Pick a hand size from XXS to XXL and the suggestions change — smaller hands trade wide stretches for more thumb-unders, larger hands keep the hand still. Fingering is personal, so you keep the last word on every note.
