Usage of proper fingering helps in playing the keyboard smoothly at high speeds and also for playing notes with gamakas\/anu-swaras. We should practice a very disciplined fingering from lower tempos, so that we can play the notes in higher tempos with accuracy. We normally use only the right hand for playing a song or melody in Indian Music.

The above picture shows the finger numbers :<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nFinger No 1 is thumb \u2013 used to play S and P\n\n\n\nFinger No.2 is index finger \u2013 used to play R & D\n\n\n\nFinger No.3 is middle finger \u2013 used to play G and N\n\n\n\nFinger No.4 is ring finger \u2013 used to play M and S\n\n\n\nFinger No.5 is little finger \u2013 used to play the 5th note in a row\n\n\n\n\n

Fingers 1 to 4 are mostly used, and the 5th finger is used occasionally. We should use fingers 1, 2, 3, 4 to play S, R, G, M and the same order is used to play P, D, N, S\u2019 also. While shifting the fingers from M to P, the thumb should be moved below the ring finger and while coming back in the reverse direction, the ring finger should be moved above the thumb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
