scales help

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Wouldn't you like to learn all major piano scale patterns easily ? Here you can learn all your major scales quickly and easily with scale charts!

The piano scale charts below have fingering for all the 12 major scales, both the left and the right hand. But- there's no note reading required!

So, it's a handy-dandy tool that's great for visual learners, and also to make memorizing the scales easier.

Major Scales

The picture charts below display all the 12 major scales, easy to understand and marked with the correct fingering.

If you play the same pattern again and again, you can play as many octaves as you like, up and down.

The finger numbers that are within a parenthesis (5), are used only when you begin, end or turn the scale.

For example in F major the left hand starts on a finger (4), but as you play the scale ascending several octaves you will use finger 1 on that note.

When you finish the scale you will use finger (4) again. It is also used when you can use an alternative finger.

12 Major Piano Scale Charts with Fingering

There are 12 different major scales. (b=flat/ #=sharp).

3 of the scales (Db/E#, F#/Gb and B/Cb) actually have two names (so you could brag and say that you have learned 15 instead of 12)!

The scales that have two names, look and are played exactly the same on the keyboard, but are written differently with notes.

You can scroll down for all the scales, or use these quick links to get to the one you want immediately:

D-Flat Major / C-Sharp Major

E-Flat Major

F-Sharp Major / G-Flat Major

A-Flat Major

B-Flat Major

B Major / C-Flat Major

Around The Campfire : scale is smooth, piece itself needs some memorization work especially towards the beginning. Even if you had it memorized once, keep practicing with the book! Keep keep practicing. Middle section of piece gets lost and isn't consistent. What you can do to help you with the parts you don't remember is to play hands separate. This way, your ear knows what to hear. Also, work more on the parts you don't know. It's very easy to practice parts that we already know and feel confident in, but it's working on the parts that our harder for us that will help the piece improve! :)

Dew Drops: tempo is nice and consistent. there are parts of the piece where you pause, let's work on not pausing and playing it smoothly all the way through. What might help when forgetting what comes next is practicing the piece slower and with the book! This way, you have time to look ahead at a part you might be forgetting. Have confidence in your playing and review notes! This piece needs some work but I know you can do it!

Fourth Grade Band: Be Confident in your notes! The notes are right, just keep practicing and don't second guess and pause!

Mexican Clapping Song: Tempo was unclear, make sure that you're playing the note values for what they're worth. Playing at a slower pace and counting while you play will help you keep track of the tempo!

Puff (The Magic Dragon): Really good! Just work on memorization and not stopping when you're confused. Play slow and review notes. Once you feel confident in your playing, than you can increase the tempo. (NOT SURE IF REMOVED FROM PROGRAM OR NOT - ASK MS. ANNA)

Rustice Dance: Good! A few note inaccuracies here and there but you are quick to fix them. Just work on polishing it up a bit and you got it!

The Band: Really good! I can tell you're definitely more confident with this one! Keep practicing and it'll be golden.

The Rainstorm: Needs some extra practice, play slowly so you have time to look at notes (NOT SURE IF REMOVED FROM PROGRAM OR NOT - ASK MS. ANNA)

Under The Linden Tree: Definitely better than before, just keep practicing, and review the parts that get you shaky and where you tend to pause.

Winter Waltz: sounds great! Now let's work on picking up the tempo to make it sound more like a waltz. Middle section you get a little lost, but with some extra practice, it'll sound better each time.

Continue to work on all of your scales!

-Ms. Gabby

1. Rustic Dance: A Minor (make sure you play your scale and arpeggios hands together) good job, it's almost complete by memory! review a few more times with the music and I think you'll have it before the end of the week. pay careful attention to measure 17 (right hand) and the ending (last two measures) and don't rush your eighth notes

2. Around the Campfire: C Major, good job; this piece is almost by memory as well. review end of the first page and the ending - correct notes. also make sure you're counting evenly
