Major Scales on the Piano
About Major Scales on the Piano
Mystified by scales? Have trouble with fingerings or different key signatures? In this class we'll learn the sequence of half and whole steps that create a major scale, fingerings patterns, using a metronome to improve scale practice and continuing scales through several octaves as well as triad structure based on a scale. Having a written scale book like Alfred's Complete book of Scales or Hanon is helpful. Age does not matter but must be far enough in piano to play a scale.
This class is limited to 15 students.
