You got me motivated to get back to practicing my scales daily and the diatonic chords of each of those scales. I learned a long time ago that creating powerful reasons for doing something inspires you to keep do it. I'll refer back to this video from time to time. Thanks!
I've been learning piano for about six weeks now. I can play scales just fine with my left hand, and I can play scales fine with my right hand, but it all falls apart when I try to play with both hands simultaneously. Going down isn't so bad, but I keep tripping over myself going up when my thumb on my right hand needs to move. I think that might be because I'm left-handed as I don't have the same problem moving my thumb on the left hand going down. Hopefully daily practice will help.
Just be patient and do lots of hands separate practice. Remember what notes you need to tuck/cross your fingers, then practice hands together super slowly. It simply takes time to learn scales hands together, but if you stick with it, you will definitely be able to do it. Best wishes!
Your videos are very well laid out and easy to understand. thanks for this

That’s lovely to hear! I’m so glad that this video was so inspirational for you. Best wishes with your scale practice!
Thanks for sharing! Scales aren’t always fun to practice, but it’s easier to practice them when you understand how important they are.
That’s very true! Understanding the “why” makes practice much more motivational.
This piano video was very helpful. I liked Tip # 7 the best. Keep up the good work! 🎶🎹
Thank you very much! I’m so glad that you enjoyed the video!
Scales are surprisingly important, but the way they relate to how music is written in key signitures is even more interesting.
Yes, it’s so fascinating! I love learning about how the different keys work together to create chords and melodies.
