Order of fingering for arpeggios and scales in all keys?

I've been playing the keyboard for a few years now (mostly self-paced learning, and Cycle of Fifths) and am able to play by ear (perfect/relative pitch) and memory of scale and chord patterns, however I'd like to improve on my technical ability of playing the keyboard/piano. (Especially my left hand.)
Is there a comprehensive table available which details on every scale and chords played as an arpeggio for one/two octaves, and the order of fingering as needed for both hands? (ie: Major scale right hand, 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 1/5(end)...C Major left hand arpeggio 2-oct, 5 4 2 1 4 2 1(end) etc.)
Thanks in advance.

Hi
An idea would be to get a piano technical work book - scales and arpeggios. It will have all keys and all fingering.
I cant think of any table that I have seen which will have what you are looking for, but someone may have one worked out somewhere. With a technical book you could then summarise into a table that works for you.
Good Luck

Most people want to press a button to accomplish the same task. I applaud your ambition- kudos!
I've got nothing to sell...am I on the right site?

Thanks, will look into that. The only sources of information similar to this kind of thing is a table chart of scale patterns relative to root note, if not fingerings for a few keys and right hand only.BB' wrote:Hi

I'll probably never ever play/sightread a 7th Grade solo piece, but I'd at least want to be able to teach someone else the correct way of playing keys, if not be able to still play in a group performance.
Thanks.

Thanks a bunch.
Appreciate it. 
Though one question, no one ever talks about fingering with a suspended chord as an arpeggio. What's the best way to do it?

Think of Sus 4 or Sus 2 as stacked 4ths:MaliceX wrote:Thanks a bunch.Appreciate it.

C F G, Csus4 "begins" on G - G - C - F
So:
G-1 - C-2 - F4 - then thumb under for the next G.
LH - G-4 - C-2 - F1, then 4 over for the next G.
Notice that puts your index finger on the root in either hand's pattern.
For a sus2, your index finger will end up on the 5th of the chord in both hands.
HTH.
