While a lot of teachers don't want to spend too much time on scales during lessons (as scales are best practiced at home), I think you ought to get some advice from your own teacher on this so they can see what trouble you're having and what to do to put things right.

I agree with Chris: Take this up with a teacher. Chances are, you have a hand or finger position fault, or a key actuation issue, that needs to be diagnosed by a second set of eyes.

You know, there is ALSO the idea that there is no ONE correct way to finger scales. You can use standard fingers like: thumb for first line "F" going to first finger "Gb" in and ascending "Db" scale. OR you can use the thumb and last two side keys for the "Gb."


Bottom line: if you are LEARNING something new or CHANGING to a new WAY to do something, drill small, pertinent sections S-L-O-W-L-Y so that the sound of it, the feel of it and the rhythmic relationship of it get burned into the very fiber of your being.

Perhaps the fingering charts here can help
