“An Excellent Starting Point”
|
Did you know that most people who want to learn to play the piano never fully maximize their piano playing potential?
One of the reasons is because it’s next to impossible to find and get quality piano lessons from a professional piano teacher at an affordable price.
And finding a good piano teacher is just half the battle because many piano instructors won’t even let you in the door if you don’t have any piano experience.
Yep, it’s official; Good help is still so hard to find.
So, now the question becomes to what extent would go to get some of the best piano training
on the planet? I can tell you right now that over the years I have spent over 10,000 dollars on equipment, music courses, piano lessons, books and more.
Why you ask? It’s because I value my self worth and I’m willing to pay a high price for things that I’m passionate about. I don’t know whether the piano is your passion nor whether you would spend thousands of dollars for piano lessons.
But, a can say that you won’t have to pay anywhere near that much if you decide to get the two highly recommended piano courses listed below. Each course provides you with a revolutionary and effective way of teaching you how to play the piano.

“A Musical Scale Introduction”
|
Have you ever wondered why professional piano players make playing music scales look so easy? Well, it’s a simple one word answer..... Practice! That’s an easy answer isn’t it.
Alright, I confess. There’s a lot more to it than a simple one word answer of course. So, this website was designed to show and tell you the techniques that will take the mystery out of learning musical scales.
These are the techniques that I have learned, developed, and applied for years and I suggest every piano player should follow but, you don’t even have to be a piano player to use these techniques. Some of the information that I share can apply to just about any instrument whether you are a beginner or a seasoned professional.
The piano can be a very intimidating instrument for beginners. And that’s understandable when you stop and look at all of those keys on the keyboard. It’s by far one of the most, if not the most difficult instrument to master.
I have to admit that all the music theory, piano exercises, and all the songs that I was required to learn overwhelmed me to the point were I wanted to give up playing the piano all together. But, every time I wanted to give up there was something within me that always seemed to motivate me to keep learning.
It still amazes me how this musical instrument still manages to peek the curiosity of people throughout the entire world despite its level of difficulty. Please understand though that I don’t want to discourage you from playing piano just because it’s a difficult instrument but, rather encourage you.
Over the years, I have learned the do's and don’ts about playing the piano and I get many common questions from “Where to begin?” and “How to go about learning all those notes?” Let me say once again that you begin to learn piano by learning your music scales.
So, don’t let all the technical stuff that I’m about to show you make you forget about what playing music scales is all about. Don’t get discourage because you make mistakes either. Let’s face it, no matter how hard you try to please, people are always going to be critical about how you play.
Some may be seriously trying to help you while others only want to harm you. If you have a sincere desire to succeed, then you shouldn’t let that stop you. Your desire to learn and play should be able to overpower any obstacle.
I strongly encourage you to seek the advice of people who want to see you improve. You might not like what they have to say all the time but, sometimes it’s good to hear things from another point of view.
Music isn’t about being the best musician or trying to impress everybody that you meet. The most important things that I want you to remember is to be passionate about the music that you play, stay honest and humble when expressing yourself, and every once in a while have a little fun with your music.

“Getting All The Right Equipment”
|
you ever imagined playing like the professionals do? Feels good doesn’t it? Reality bits however. You will learn sooner or later that what separates the amateur piano players from the professionals is the kind of equipment that they use. Your ultimate goal should be to invest in all the best equipment for the goals that you want to achieve.
Undoubtedly though, one of the most challenging jobs for a beginner piano player is getting all the right equipment to learn with from the start and choosing from the limitless amount of techno musical gadgets on the market.
I want you to remember that there are only a few pieces of equipment that you will need and that I recommend no piano player should ever be without. The obvious one is the piano
I know what you may be thinking and no I don’t expect you to go and spend thousands of dollars on a new piano if you don’t have one already. Even a used piano can carry a hefty price tag. Thankfully we live in the age of technology.
If you’re not fortunate enough to have access to an acoustic piano, the next best thing is a digital piano. However, you have to be careful not to choose the wrong one. These instruments have improved a whole lot over the past few years. Not only do they sound better, they have become very affordable as well.
I would suggest you get one even if you already have an acoustic piano. In case you’re wondering, an acoustic piano is just a piano that’s not powered by electricity. And without getting too technical, acoustic pianos are unique because they produce sound by using hammer devices and strings.
Digital pianos can be a great asset to you because they allow you to imitate the look, sound, and feel of an acoustic piano. Digital pianos also allow you to completely control your volume level so that you don’t disturb any of the people around you.
Don’t get me wrong though; I think practicing on an acoustic piano is very important but, the noise that they make will likely turn your friends, family, or neighbors into your worst enemies should you decide to practice playing around them.
Below I have listed a digital piano that I recommend for beginners. This is a great piano for anyone on a tight budget. It’s not the best but, it is something that can get you by if you are a beginner:
Casio PX-555 88-Key Privia Keyboard
Inevitably you will have to spend more money if you want better quality out of a digital piano. Or you could go for a less expensive model called the “Casio PX-110 Privia Digital Piano”.
It's sound quality may not be up to your standards but, unless you plan on using it for live performances or recording, the sound quality shouldn't be that big of an issue for a beginner.
I believe the main focus of any beginner keyboard player is to try to find a digital keyboard to practice on that will allow them to closely simulate an actual acoustic piano without
spending a fortune in the process.
Take small steps first and then once you become serious
about playing on a regular basis, you can start to spend more money on professional music
equipment.
The metronome is another important device that you should get. It’s an excellent device for keeping you in sync with music scale exercises and the rhythm of songs. They range in price from the very affordable to the very expensive.
The most expensive ones can be very elaborate and sophisticated but, from my experience you don’t need the extra bells and whistles. The model that I like and recommend is the Korg MA-30 Digital Metronome I like it because it’s small, lightweight, and very portable.
It also has several adjustable settings that you’ll need and you can connect a set of headphones to it as well. Expect to pay a little under $30.00 USD for this gadget.
The next piece of equipment you want to try to get is a stopwatch. You will start to notice very quickly that time starts to fly by even when you’re not having fun on the piano.
That’s why it’s essential that you keep track of how long it takes you to practice your music scales. Using a stop watch will keep you focused on your daily practice sessions and allow you to develop a schedule based on the amount of time that you spend on each music scale.
I didn’t use a stop watch when I started to play music scales and I ended up wasting a lot of precious time because of it. So, you definitely don’t want to make the mistake of not using one.

“Stretching Your Fingers Out”
|
|
The first and most important rule before you start playing music scales is to stretch your fingers. It’s an excellent way to warm-up your fingers which will overall help you perform better when playing music scales.
The muscles in your fingers are some of the most delicate muscles in your entire body and you have to treat them with the utmost care. If you ask a fitness expert what's the most important part of their exercise routine, they would probably confidently reply by saying “The Warm-Up Exercises”.
The same is true about music scale exercises. Notice the keyword EXERCISE. You got to warm up those fingers of yours before you can seriously start playing your music scales.
Start by individually stretching each finger on your left hand just like in the picture examples below. Be careful not to overstretch once you begin! Hold the stretch for each finger for 10 seconds and repeat this process for each finger on the right hand:
|
Now stretch in between the fingers on each hand like the pictures below. Hold the stretch for 10 second then release:
This is good for preventing finger injuries plus it gives you the added flexibility to move around on the keyboard. Skipping this step can throw your whole routine out of sync.

“Keep Your Fingernails Cut Low”
|
|
Make sure you keep your fingernails cut low. I know that sounds kind of odd but, if your fingers sound like they’re tap dancing on the piano keys while playing, then you are going to have some serious problems.
Or another analogy would be if your fingers feel like they are skating on ice when playing music scales, that means it’s time to cut those claws of yours. Having low cut fingers gives you the added advantage you need over playing music scales.
You can more than likely get away with having long fingernails when you are mostly playing chords. When it comes to playing scales though, long fingernails are a no no. I remember trying to convince people who were experiencing this about this problem but, they wouldn’t listen to me until they found out the hard way.
As far as playing music scales or any type of melody on the piano, you will never be able to build up your speed and precision if you have long fingernails. Check out the picture below to see how my fingernails are cut. It will probably feel kind of weird to you if you’re not used to having your fingernails cut low.
You will get used to it once you start playing for a long period of time though. Just be careful not to cut your fingernails too low. This can cause sores at the tips of your fingers which can hurt like crazy when pressing your fingers against the piano keys.

“Keeping Your Fingers Close To The Keys”
|
|
Now that you’ve gotten the fingernail ordeal taken care of, you need to focus on keeping your fingers as close to the piano keys as possible. This is going to take some getting used to if you are new to playing piano scales.
You have to understand that the closer your fingers are to the keys, the faster you fingers will be able to play. Keeping your fingers curled while your fingers are close to the keys is especially beneficial as well (See photo below for an example).
This is one of the reasons why the pro piano players are able to fly their fingers up and down the keyboard with such ease. There is really a science to creating this type of fast motion.
For instance, if you and I were racing each other and traveling at the same speed, which one of us do you think would get to the finish line first if you have a 500 foot head start. Of course you would win easily because you are closest to the finish line.
Just take the previous example and apply that to the keyboard. The keys on the keyboard would be the finish line and the fingers on your hand would be us racing. So now it’s easier to imagine how the fingers that are closest to the piano keyboard will be able to reach the keys the fastest.

“Pressing The Keys All The Way Down”
|
|
Obviously you already know that the keys on the piano keyboard are designed to be pressed but, when you practice you may notice that your fingers will have a tendency to half press the keys. To resolve this issue, it’s important for you to make your best effort to press the piano keys all the way down when practicing your music scales.
This technique is really good for building up strength within your hands and fingers. In time, you will notice that the fingers will become more confident in hitting each individual note on the keyboard.
Pressing the keys all the way down gives your mind the reassurance of knowing that your hands and fingers are comfortable with the feel of each individual piano note. Have you ever had the experience of switching from one piano to another?
Did the keys feel a little different than the piano that you previously played on? If you never done this before, you should try it to see what I’m talking about. Part of the reason this happens is because the conditioning of your hands and fingers changes as they rest and play.
This is similar to the effect of lifting weights with your arms and legs. The arms and legs will seem a lot more stronger and tense after you exercise than before you exercise.
Another reason that your fingers may feel awkward when you switch from one piano keyboard to another is because the keys on different models of piano keyboards are not created with the same amount of tension (or commonly known as hammer action). Acoustic pianos are especially notorious for this.
Every piano that is created will have its own distinct feel and sound. Other factors can effect the tension of the piano keys over time such as normal usage and temperature conditions. The point I want you to understand is that this is a problem that your fingers will have to learn to adjust to every time you play a different piano.
This is where the technique of pressing the piano keys all the way down becomes a powerful advantage to you. Focus on using this technique on every note within each music scale from start to finish.

“Practicing With Good Posture”
|
|
Did you ever have anyone to remind you to sit up strait in your chair? Well, that happens to be some very good advice. Get in the habit of using good posture whenever you’re playing the piano.
Slouching doesn’t look good at all. Not only does it look bad but, it hinders you from developing good technique. A good posture makes your movement on the keyboard more fluid and graceful.
Bad posture may not seem like a big deal at first; Over time though you can develop unnecessary stiffness in your back, arms, and shoulders. You may notice that your body even becomes more fatigue when you don’t practice good posture.
Developing strong stomach muscles will help promote good posture and keep your back muscles from aching while you practice. Keep in mind that while music scales are primarily played with the hands, the rest of your body is an extension of your hands.
Your hands and fingers will respond much better when your whole body is performing at optimal health. I don’t want you to think that there is a one size fits all solution for the way that you sit up at the piano but, you can use this information as a guide when needed. You know your body better than anyone else. Use your best judgement to respond to it appropriately.

“Relax Your Muscles”
|
|
Relax your body when you’re playing your music scales. A common habit for many beginner piano players is having the tendency to tense up their body muscles when they play.
You want to do your best to avoid this habit right from the start. You see, relaxing your body muscles helps you to move more freely on the piano and it also gives you more stamina. Practicing to relax should be a part of your overall technique.
I think I should also point out that it is important to already be in a relaxed state of mind before you begin to practice. Now I don’t want you to confuse relaxation with laziness and unconcentrated effort.
But, rather see relaxation as a way of focusing your concentration on what you are playing and not forcing your upper or lower body to do any type of motion that feels unnatural. For example, it feels natural for your hands to pick up objects while your body is facing forward.
Trying to lift that same object with your back turned away from it would still be possible but, would feel very unnatural. Doing this can cause you to place more tension on your muscles and joints than necessary.
This still goes to show you that practicing music scales with the right technique will drastically help prevent you from getting muscle stiffness and aches during and after practice.
Note that playing the piano isn’t about trying to get your body to do things that it wasn’t designed to do. You want to use the natural weight and flexibility of your arms and hands to press into the piano keys while keeping your fingers as close to the keys as possible.

“Play The Notes Evenly”
|
|
Do you ever stop to listen to the way human beings speak to each other? We usually speak to each other by timing our words so that they make sense within sentences.
Imagine someone starting a sentence, then pausing in the middle of the sentence, and then finishing the sentence a minute later.
That of course would be a very odd and rare thing but, on many occasions we pause between words within our sentences in order to add more emphasis to sentences or because we are not sure about what we are going to say next.
If you ever noticed, sometimes actors may intentionally use pauses or breaks to make their performance appear more dramatic. For the most part though, actors usually speak without pausing or breaking between the words within their sentences to make their words sound fluent.
Well, in music you should try to accomplish the same thing. Only in this case though, you will want to accomplish this effect from a musical standpoint. When practicing music scales on the piano, think of each note as an individual word in a sentence.
You want to play the notes in the music scale as smooth and evenly as possible while your fingers move from one note to the next. This type of evenness is commonly known as the term legato.
When you are learning to play music scales, you shouldn’t intentionally try to make the scales sound choppy or as if you're pausing or breaking between notes. Again you should be working to produce a smooth and even sound between notes when your fingers are moving up and down on the keyboard.
You most likely won’t master this technique over night but, it should be one of your priorities for playing scales because the people who master this skill will really be able to express the true beauty of music. Click here to hear an example of how even and smooth a music scale should be played.

“Starting Slow”
|
|
The hardest job for any musician to master is learning to practice with patience. Mastering music scales isn't something that you can cram for all night and expect to wake up and see instant success. Musical scale success is a process.
Oh how I wish I had known about this helpful piece of information when I first started. I was like most amateurs who thought that all I would have to do is just run my fingers up and down the keyboard and hope that magically I would begin to play music scales like the pros.
My impatience led me to disappointment and my disappointment led to discouragement which unfortunately led me to the point of never wanting to learn to play the piano ever again. Fortunately for me though, the story of my quest to become a better piano player didn't end there.
I'm sure people who have practiced piano scales can relate to this similar experience. The key to learning scales is to make sure that you start slow and then gradually work toward getting faster.
Start playing a scale with only one hand at a time and then play the scale with both hands. You have to begin playing scales so slow that you feel like you have complete control over every single movement that you make from one note to the next.
I previously talked about the metronome. Consider the metronome to be your training wheels. You use it to gradually increase the speed of each scale that you practice. Starting slow can cause you to get bored easily and get to be very lonesome too.
To stay motivated, you have to envision yourself at the level where you want to be and stay focused on it. The old cliche is still true; Rome really wasn't built in a day so, you shouldn't expect to reach your goals faster than possible.

“Perfecting One Music Scale At A Time”
|
|
I do think it would be a good idea to start out spending a few minutes familiarizing your fingers with any of the music scales that you are not familiar with. When it comes to perfecting each scale though, I strongly suggest you start by perfecting only one scale for at least a week even if you think you are ready to move on to another music scale.
Doing this will give your body ample time to adjust to each music scale. When I say perfecting I mean you should focus your concentration on learning each music scale by using the techniques that I have described in the previous lessons.
Keep in mind that once you start learning music scales, keep practicing the scales that you’ve learned even while you are beginning to learn a completely new music scale. In many cases it may take you longer than a week to start to feel confident in playing a music scale.
The time it takes you all depends on how developed your hands and fingers are. I know this may seem like a very slow process but, as I said before, this is what truly separates the amateurs from the professionals.
Remember what I told you before in the last technique that learning music scales is a process. A common mistake that people make is that they try to overload themselves with too many music scales in a short period of time.
This approach will eventually cause you to become burned out. Learning music scales isn’t exactly the most exciting thing about playing the piano so, the last thing you want is to make the process more frustrating than it needs to be.

“Taking Breaks”
|
|
To break or not to break. That is the question. Have you ever noticed how time seems to fly by when you’re practicing music scales? If you haven’t, you soon will.
It’s real easy to lose track of time just because the process of learning music scales isn’t exactly a fast one. Before you know it, a 30 minute practice session can easily jump to a 3-hour one. You are going to find that the more scales that you start to learn, the more time you will need to perfect them.
It may seem like a never ending uphill battle to the finish line because the whole learning process can get to be long and boring. That’s why taking breaks should be a daily part of your music scale routine. Don’t neglect this part.
You may come across musicians who practice for hours at a time without taking breaks. Those guys have spent months and years at a time getting up to that level of musicianship and if that works for them, then I don’t blame them for it.
However, I don’t recommend anybody, no matter what level they are on, to practice without taking breaks in between. You risk the possibility of injuring yourself if you don’t. Now the question becomes how often should you take breaks?
Well, there isn’t an exact formula for this because everyone’s body is different. One thing that I think you should keep in mind though is to never practice more that 3 hours without taking a break.
This is a good threshold for most people because the body’s energy levels become seriously depleted after this point. Just please note that as far as taking breaks is concerned, the time that I state is only a recommendation.
The time you choose to take breaks may be sooner of later than someone else's. Do what’s helpful and necessary to keep your interest level up. A five to ten minute break will work wonders for you. Here are a couple of ideas that you could use during your break sessions:
- Grab something to eat.
- Stretch you body.
- Listen to a song that you like.
- Try breathing deeply in and out for a few minutes to help you relax.
- Do a few push ups.
- Do yoga exercises.
These are just some of the possibilities that you can try but, if you have some ideas of your own, by all means use them.

“Practicing Everyday”
|
|
Whether you can devote 1 hour, 30 minutes, 15 minutes, or 5 minutes, make it your best effort to always practice playing music scales every single day. The question you’re are probably asking yourself is “So what will happen if I miss a day?”
Well, it’s not the end of the world but, it will negatively affect your hand and finger development. I didn’t think it was such a big deal until I discovered how it was effecting me.
You see what happens is that if the mind and the fingers don’t get exposed to daily repetition, it makes it harder for them to adjust to the individual scales that you play. Skipping a day of practicing music scales and then starting to practice again can feel as if your starting from scratch.
You will feel as though you are not getting anywhere. So, this is why it is critically important to practice your music scales everyday especially if you are learning them for the first time. The goal for you should be to commit every single music scale to memory.
Yes, this can be a lot of work but, it will pay off in the long run. Look at it this way. How did you learn how to read English? You learned a little at a time right? You gradually learned a few more words until those words became sentences and those sentences became paragraphs and then those paragraphs became the story of your life.
You didn’t get it all in just a couple of days or a few weeks or months. You learned it over the course of time and that was done by repeating that process on a day to day basis. I’m sure you got to a point where learning to read English didn’t seem like work anymore.
In essence, it became more natural for you. The same thing is true about playing music scales. You want to get to the point where you really don’t have to focus a lot of your concentration on playing them and really feel comfortable playing them.
Skipping a day of practicing scales every now and then won’t be that big of a deal once you have perfected all of the 90 music scales. But, remember that persistence actually makes the process of learning easier.

“Have Some Fun”
|
|
After you’ve worked on your music scales for the day, now it’s time to reward yourself. That means having a little fun is not a bad idea. Take what you have learned from your music scales and use them to create songs that you know and like.
This is what practicing is all about. You will find that the more scales that you learn and play, the more creative you will become on the piano. Within each one of us lies a talent, a gift, and a desire to create music that the world awaits for us to express but, that creative expression would be difficult to achieve without the knowledge of musical scales.
The beautiful thing about music is that you will never run out of things to play. Let me also encourage you to always be opened minded to the many styles of music throughout the world. Music truly is a universal language and one of the most powerful forces on the planet.
The people who seem to be the best at expressing themselves through music are the ones who have been able to reach across cultural barriers and embrace different styles of music. Music will never die because deep down on the inside of all of us lies a song that wants to cry out.
Express yourself through your music, live your music, and share your music. Understand that the whole process of practicing is the spark that excites your creative juices.
I don’t won’t you to ever think that once you have mastered your music scales that the process of practicing is over. But, consider it to be a new beginning to more advanced material. Remember that music is meant to inspire and motivate others. Help people to enjoy music and don’t ever try to destroy them with it.
