How To Play Piano Scales - Hands Together

This one is for all you beginners! Playing scales hands together can be surprisingly challenging and many new learners struggle with coordinating the hands.

In this lesson, I talk you through some tips and tricks to make this process easier, as well as show you have to create an exercise with your scales that will help your hands to work together!

Almost 60 and just getting started on piano. This was VERY helpful. I’ve also signed up for a couple of your online lessons. Just wanting to be a chord player, not classical. Thank you!

just turned 67 and finally allocated some time to learning some keyboard skills and also gain some understanding of how to read music - just like recent dancing lessons it feels like I have two left hands which at least is better than two right hands, being right handed that hand has just too many previous skills embedded and will need a serious re-calibration while the left hand is like a low mileage Rolls only ever driven carefully and is very smooth in comparison - thankfully I have found a wonderful channel to help kick off this venture - thanks Lisa

Hands together is very cool. A nice bonus for me just trying to figure out the proper way to move across the scales with my left hand!

I wished the thumb tuck was as easy and smooth on the f scale as it is on the C scale..LOL

I’m just learning to play scales with both hands and I found it interesting. I’ll practice - thanks. 👍

I made the 100th comment 😉😊 I wish I had known this lesson earlier... It would have saved me a lot of times when my fingers got interlocked and also when I couldn't progress because the song requires the use of both hands SIMULTANEOUSLY!

Hi Lisa!! Another great lesson. Yes this definitely helps. Thank you for posting it. Can you give us some more examples of the proper fingering for other scales, when it involves the black key (s) ?
