Scales

Scales are important to playing the piano - particularly since the keys are all laid out alphabetically like a zebra crossing :)

Here's a few things to bear in mind for scales:

• start slow and steady
• practise each hand apart
• play smoothly with equal volume on each key
• gradually build up confidence and speed
• play hands together once you're able
