  2. 2

    How many notes do you play in a one-octave scale?

  3. 3

    Let's play a C major scale together — one octave, right hand only.

    Now you try — tap the correct finger pattern for a C major scale (right hand).

  5. 5

    Which finger plays the note G in a C major scale (right hand)?

  6. 6

    Now try an arpeggio — play C-E-G-C (a broken chord) with the right hand.

  7. 7

    What is the difference between a scale and an arpeggio?
