Dearest FungU2,

Here are the answers to the test you are cheating for:

1. Which number does the thumb always take in fingering?
    6

2. Which number does the pinkie always take in fingering for the piano?
    -3

3. In what state are the fingers when playing the piano with good technique?
    Kansas.

4. Why is fingering important?

Fingering is important because it excites and stimulates the piano, which in turn makes it more responsive to your advances.

If the correct fingering doesn't achieve the desired results, articulated tongueing techniques should then be used.

Many players also like to keep a candelabra handy as well as a bottle of fine wine.

5. If you saw the fingering 5 3 1 for after the left hand symbol, which fingers would you know to use? (Thumb Pointer Middle Ring Pinkie)

If you saw the fingering they will become much shorter.
