Hi, I`m sort of new to reading music, and I have a dire question!


I saw that there were two fingerings for a particular piece on the piano. Usually you see the numbers above the notes, but this time there were two sets or numbers, like it was giving me an option?

Could anyone tell me how to read this?

Thanks

The numbers represent optional fingering. Try whichever set you feel more comfortable with for each hand. Good luck! Sounds like you`re teaching yourself....

Thanks so much! That makes sense.

Yeah, I`ve been trying to teach myself for about a month now.
