scales is by playing the black keys. yes, really!
scales are played with finger groups of 3 and 4 fingers, using finger 1 for transition from one group to the next, and finger 5 only for stopping or turning.
so, a very easy way to begin is with the black keys since those are already organized i 2 and 3 note groups!
start by playing all the groups with 2 black keys, using fingers 2 and 3. play hands separately and both together, back and forth, all over the piano.
do the same with the groups of 3 black keys.
now combine the 2 and 3 black key groups. play both fast and slow.
have fun,
