Fingerings of the major scale in seven positions

The A major scale consists of the notes A, B, C#, D, E, F# and G#. A distinct fingering is formed from each of these seven steps, named by church modes I-VII and its root A marked by a circle. To play these patterns in a different key, they must be moved according to the transposing table.
