Learn Piano Scales cheat sheet here: bestpianoclass.com/scales
Today’s lesson will practice how to learn piano scales for beginners, fast & easy. The tutorial cover the best 4 step formula of exercises to learn the left hand, the right hand, and both hands together, with the correct fingering explained for all keys, major and minor, AND of course good hand position. This method is a great piano warm up exercise and can be done daily to cover not only technique, but also many piano basics and theory in a bitesize framework. We’ll start with C Major, and the cheat sheet will have the other keys from G Major all the way to B Major and everything in between. By the end you’ll understand why scales are important and how to learn them in the fastest way possible.
We’ll also cover the ultimate speed benchmarks for one octave scales for every degree of difficulty, from beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels - and hopefully have some fun along the way. Feel free to play along!
By the way you can quickly use a similar blueprint for learning arpeggios, broken chords, contrary motion, chromatic and pentatonic scales, jazz scales, modes, and any music you’re learning - simply apply the same framework we learned and soon you’ll be playing like Liszt and Lang Lang ;-)
Here’s what we’ll cover:
00:00 Intro
00:19 Step 1: Build Accuracy
02:32 Step 2: Develop Flow & Smoothness
04:34 Step 3: Solidify to Muscle Memory
05:30 Step 4: Build Speed (Metronome)
07:05 Bonus Step: Biggest Beginner Mistake
By the way make sure you practice these IN ORDER (this is important). They all build off of each other so you need the previous step to complete the next one. This way you can move from Grade 1 to Grade 2 to Grade 5 to Grade 8 as smoothly as possible.

Thanks, Zach - especially the tip of folding the thumb underneath right after note #1. As beginner, I am experiencing that exact choppiness - although improving. Cheers!

Zach, you say that this will teach you scales "insanely fast" - how fast is "insanely fast?" If a beginner copies this method, how long till they learn the basic scales? What percentage of practice should be spent on something like this compared to other skills, or learning songs? How many times a week? Is this a bedrock skill that I should learn before chords or should I balance it out with other fundamentals? I love that you are moving beyond simple ways of playing pop songs, to more valuable skills (sight reading please), but what I really need is proof of a coherent plan that demonstrates all these skills linking together, even if many of them are way beyond me. I want to know, if I follow YOUR lessons, that it will result in me becoming a competent piano player.

Another way of doing which I find much more natural is lifting up your hand as you're playing the first three notes: that will effortlessly place your thumb right where it needs to be to finish the scale.

Great stuff, Zach. One thing, though. In this video and in other lessons, you don't seem to be doing the wrist motion (over/under technique) that you recommend elsewhere. Am I missing something?

You only need to tuck your thumb under when you’re ready to play that note. As I said I’m a different video, if you have the correct hand form (your wrist should be straight) it shouldn’t be too difficult. To practice tucking properly, you really only need to do play C D E F G up and down over and over again (fingering 12312). The last three notes are easy. Repetition is key, four times isn’t enough. However, I must add that practicing in different rhythms is incredibly useful; I use it myself all the time. It doesn’t have to be just those four, you can just make up any rhythm you like (my favourite is practicing to the words “I’m a pirate). One funny thing to notice is that in most scales, 3 matches with 3 in both hands. Another thing is that every pattern is identical, they just start in different places. Yes, that includes the “odd ones out” (F major in the right and B major in the left). Happy playing.
