harmonic minor scales April 28, 2010, 03:25:31 AM by johnjoseph

I notice that recommended fingering for the right hand in some of the harmonic minor scales [ e.g F# and C# ] is inconsistent ; i.e you begin on 2,3 and this becomes 3,4 later . Would it be better to start with 3,4 ?

minor scale systems February 17, 2010, 08:51:52 PM by renfroejames

Hi, I was wondering if someone could explain to me why the harmonic minor scale is played the same way whether it is descending or ascending, while the melodic minor scale ( with raised 6 and 7) is played ascending but the natural minor is played descending. Also, let’s say I was composing an ascending melody using the melodic minor scale – do I need to use specific notes going up but vary them going down? My confused logic would say yes because I need to play the natural minor while descending.

About a month ago me and my teacher decided to play only scales and Czerny.
Is this good? Should I practice a piece also?
What are good exercises/rythms for scales? To gain more fluidity and so on.
I also have trouble with the ascension of the left hand. In ascension of right hand I can "arm walk," but when it is on the left my body blocks it and I have to move my hip. This tenses my right side.

What's the point of scales? September 19, 2006, 02:04:35 PM by aaron_ginn

Really, I don't get it. What does playing scales over and over gain you that simply playing real works doesn't?
I'm a beginner and I'm currently working on the third movement of the Moonlight Sonata. Obviously, I can see the benefit of playing C# arpeggios over and over, but I don't understand how playing the entire C# scale up and down will help me.
I'm not trying to stir anything up. I'm just genuinely curious about the benefits of scales over actually learning scales by playing real works in a given key.

"I was in Poland the past summer to give 2 concerts. At the last minute they requested some Chopin, which I had not brought with me. So, I google-searched for classical downloads and found your site. I was able to print out excellent editions of the pieces I needed within minutes. To find the scores locally would have been inpossible as it was a smaller town, the nearest music store 45 minutes away."

"Piano Street has been a wonderful tool to me as both a pianist and a piano teacher. I can browse the collection for pieces I want to play and/or have my students play. The difficulty rating system that Piano Street uses enables me to search by difficulty level for pieces at my students' various playing levels. It is helpful that many of the scores include an audio clip of the piece being played. I have recommended to my advanced students that they also join Piano Street since getting sheet music from there is a much less expensive alternative to ordering and paying for the music.
