I have created simple documents illustrating how to play major scales on the piano. The major scales illustrated are C, G, D, A, E, B F# and C#. C major scale has no sharp and nor flat. However, all the other scales illustrated in todays music lesson have sharps. The major scales illustrated are arranged according to the number of sharps that exist. The finger techniques for the right and left hand are also included in the illustrations.
Please practice each scale at a comfortable pace, then gradually increase the speed if you think you can play them faster. Also try practicing right hand first then left hand. When you can play the scales with each hand fluently, try playing each scales using both hands the same time.

Today we are going to look at the F# and C# major scale. The finger patterns for these two scales are a bit different from the others that we have looked at so far.
C#, D#, F, F#, G#, A#, C, C# - (Letters of C# major scale)
FINGERS USED2 3 1 2 3 4 2 1

ILLUSTRATION FOR C# MAJOR SCALE
By now you should notice that both scales starts with the second finger instead of the thumb. This is because the thumb is more effective on the white or natural keys when playing scales.

A number of musicians in this modern era are having problems with sight reading. Most of them started their musical development learning to read sheet music; however, they have been drawn to the skill of playing by ear. Even though playing by ear is an excellent way of becoming a great musician, one should note that the content and theory in music is very important. A lot musician who play by ear are not able to explain certain context of music theory and this is a great disadvantage.
It is very important that musicians invest some time and money in developing the skill to read music. Even though this aspect of music is time consuming it will only make the individual a better musician. This means that musicians who can read sheet music well and are able to play by ear, are more flexible and will end up getting certain jobs and opportunities over others.
It is good to start making the adjustments to your development in music. The earlier you start the better it is for you. Go to amazon.com and ebay.com to get special offers on music theory books now.
