I am a beginner piano player and I am having such a hard time getting the fingering right on scales and arpeggios. Does anyone have advice on how to get the correct fingering to stick in your head? I would really appreciate your knowledge!

Scale interpretation March 03, 2011, 06:53:27 PM by peacelovepiano

Hi everyone! I'm not sure if this is a stupid question, but I was wondering how scales should be interpretted. I have a couple of auditions coming up (my first ones- eep!) and I want the judges to not be bored by the millions of scales they'll be hearing throughout the day...
What I mean is, should they be played soft and flexible? Or loud and confident? I've been having trouble figuring out what sounds best when it just comes down to scales.
Any and all help will be appreciated!

I have been practicing the C Major Scale. After learning the fingering of C Major Scale should I go onto the G Major Scale or first learn the fingering of the C Major chords and/or arpeggios?

scales for kids January 05, 2011, 11:00:53 PM by ingunite

Wondering about how other piano teachers approach teaching scales to, say, a ten year old. I insist on starting on C major scale, one octave, both hands, from the very beginning (it is probably the first thing they learn to play from me), and adding more scales and octaves fairly soon and fast. Also triad chords and arpeggios, of course. My students are able to do it without any unduly difficulties. However, sometimes I muse about the student's motivation for it. After all, it is not quite the equivalent of learning a "pretty song" satisfaction wise. Of course, I have explained to the students why I ask them to learn and practice scales (hand coordination, mastery of keyboard, learning to use 5 (10) fingers to cover all keys, etc.) and I ask them to play scales at the beginning of each lesson. But the devil's advocate in me keeps wondering if 1) the young student really has any understanding or appreciation of playing piano scales, and does it only because I insist so, secretly being turned off by it; and 2) is it customary to start kids on the scales that early, to expect them to learn both hands together right away, and do many of you teach this way.

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.

I keep screwing up my scales! April 16, 2008, 06:46:24 AM by nightlordq

there is a certain slowest speed I can play in my 1st exam for the ascending and descending scales like C major, G major, minor or whatever. I play them fine slowly but when I have to play at the slowest speed or faster in the exam, I keep screwing up. The contramotion, chromatic, broken chords I have absolutely no problem with, but can anyone please give me advice on how to play my ascending and descending scales mastered perfectly? How do u play arpeggio's? I've never learnt them

"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.
