Advanced Piano Scales
The demanding end of the library: keys where almost every note is black, patterns containing an augmented second, and the chromatic scale. Take these slowly and watch the thumb rather than the notes.
21 scales carry this tag, across 3 scale types: harmonic minor, melodic minor, chromatic. Each one has its notes spelled for that key, a fingering worked out for that key, and a piano you can play it on.
Harmonic Minor Scales
A dramatic minor scale with a raised 7th — common in classical and Middle Eastern music.
Melodic Minor Scales
A smooth minor scale used extensively in jazz improvisation.
Chromatic Scales
Every semitone from root to octave. A fundamental dexterity exercise.
