Scales are easy and fun when you play them in many different ways including canon, triplet, split, contrary direction and various other ways you may not have tried before. Five finger scales are presented in an unusual format classified by how many black notes are in them. Then the ten easiest scales using the same fingerings are presented. Eventually, all the scales are presented in four octaves in all keys. This is a great way to learn and remember scales.
