How to play the C major scale

Right hand: start on C with finger 1, then tuck your thumb under to play F.

Left hand: start on C with finger 5, then cross finger 3 over your thumb to play A.

Coming down, use the same fingers in reverse order. Start with each hand alone at a slow tempo, and play hands together only once both feel even.
