Pick up the basics of reading sheet music. Scales help build muscle memory in your fingers and also give you greater spatial awareness, so you'll be able to find and play notes without looking down at the keyboard.

Then, speed the metronome up a little and try again. Start with the metronome at a relatively slow tempo and practice the scale until you can play it smoothly, moving your hand through the notes and hitting them in order without making any mistakes or looking down at the keyboard.Your 4 fingers will now be in place to play the rest of the scale: G, A, B, and back to C an octave higher. Now, instead of playing F with your ring finger, tuck your thumb under your 3 fingers and slide your hand down to play F with your thumb.
