A, Eb major scales, hands together, 2 octaves; B, G minor harmonic/melodic, 2 octaves; arpeggios in root position

What you'll learn

  1. 1

    Imagine a piano keyboard. A scale is when you walk up or down the white keys, one step at a time.

  2. 2

    How many white keys do you step on to go from C to the next C?

  3. 3

    Tap the keys to play a C major scale — start on C and step up 8 white keys.

  4. 4

    Let's play a C major scale together 🎵

  5. 5

    What note comes after E in a C major scale?

  6. 6

    Now try an arpeggio — play C, then E, then G (skip a key each time).

  7. 7

    An arpeggio is like a scale but you _____ every other key.
