Incredible. I am practicing scales, but wasn't introduced to them this way. What a practical way to learn them. Thank you, Edward.

[@tracybane2170]

Great info and demo. Thank you. Much appreciated. 😊

[@PianoandVoicewithBrenda]

Glad it was helpful!

[@michaelcrites7837]

You have a very concise and focused style. Very articulate and succinct! This has helped me solidify scale fingerings. Well done!

[@pamelawilliams1149]

I love how you teach and can understand. Can you help me with 7ths and 9th chords. Thank you.

[@milonmitra]

I am learning fast with your guidance. Thanks a lot.

[@77777771955]

GREAT! THANKS!

[@garretgerritsen8988]

Thank you for your thorough explanation. Why Hanon demonstrates scales in circle of fifth progression rather than by similar groups is unfortunate…. And not expedient

[@irenefarley1440]

Great video.Do you have the finger gauntlet for printing?

[@PianoandVoicewithBrenda]

Yes I do. Shoot me an email and I'll send it to you! [e-mail]

I'm trying to decide if I should practice one octave scales or 2 octave scales. I took some lessons years ago and I started with two octave scales. I stopped playing after about 6 months and now I'm trying to get back into piano again. I'm a singer who wants to accompany myself, but also be able to play some instrumentals. I didn't have a problem with two octave scales then so I'm wondering if I should start up again with the two octaves. Do any of your courses include two octave instructions? Thanks so much for your helpful tutorials!

[@PianoandVoicewithBrenda]

I have an entire course called Piano Technique and Ear Training which covers the five most crucial technical exercises (including 2 octave scales!) PLUS daily ear training work. This course has been extremely impactful for a LOT of folks all over the world. In 10-20 minutes a day of work you can really build out your skills. pianoandvoicewithbrenda.com/membership/piano-technique-and-ear-training/ Feel free to reach out if you have further questions or would like a coupon code for a discount!

Learning a lot from you Brenda. Now I understand the theory behind the fingerings. Rules #1,2 and 3 are easy to remember. Now mindful of my fingers. Thanks for sharing.

[@mc7685]

Can you do a video on 2-octave fingering? that is where a lot of us get lost.

[@PianoandVoicewithBrenda]

If you want to get your scales together, I highly recommend my course Piano Technique and Ear Training. It's the Gold Anchor Standard for piano technique and musicianship.

Hi, I'm a guitarist looking to add basic piano proficiency to my skill set. I came across your channel (It's great!) while doing research, but before committing to your method, I was wondering if these rules and fingerings were from a single, universally accepted approach for developing proper piano technique or if there were other, yet equally accepted (more or less) methods as well? For example, when I was taught Solfege I was taught the Berklee method of a "Moveable Do" where "Do" is whatever the first scale degree is in your key (eg. Key of G, "do" is G, "Fa" is C). Yet others might teach using the classical approach of a "Fixed Do" where 'C' is always 'Do' and 'Fa' is always 'F', regardless of key. Both are widely used and considered valid. (Same idea for drummers using either Matched Grip or Traditional Grip, both accepted and valid) Does something similar apply here (perhaps a Conservatory method vs a Berklee method) in regards to the rules mentioned and finger patterns and groupings? Or is it safe to expect that any accredited piano instructor one might encounter would use the same rules and techniques (generally speaking) as yours? Thanks!

[@PianoandVoicewithBrenda]

These are the standard fingerings that most pianists learn.

[@joseph.mascarenhas]

Liked your easy fingering techniques but where is the tutorial for Minor Scale?

[@PianoandVoicewithBrenda]

[@lpa9974]

Thank you for your video on piano fingering. But it seems to only work if you already know your key signatures and how many sharps and flats in each key. Also, you only show the fingering if you are playing one octave. If I want to continue to play two octaves or more the fingering no longer works.

[@PianoandVoicewithBrenda]

Not every video can cover everything. This video shows how to play one octave scales. If you want to find out how to play two octave scales you’ll need to look elsewhere. Same with if you want to know key signatures. Best of luck!

[@michaelfultz6161]

To much extraneous talking at the beginning, but GREAT technical demonstrations.
