Scales
Major and minor scales up and down, with standard fingering for the white-key keys.
Level 1: one octave, slow values, hands separately. Suggested tempo 60.
How to practise
- Keep the thumb passing under smoothly, without twisting the wrist.
- Practise slowly with the metronome, then raise the tempo in small steps.
- Listen for evenness: every note the same length and volume.
