Scales make good daily practice, you want to be as fluent with them as possible. Keep in mind that you call one black note by 2 names, like C and Db. So you use C E G to make the major chord. For example, the C major scale has the notes: C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C. To make a major chord, you play the 1st, 3rd, and 5th notes of a major scale together. Practice this scale using both hands at the same time once you've got the hang of doing it one hand at a time. There are 12 major chords that you can play on the piano. Play backwards until your third finger hits the F#, then bring the thumb under to hit the E and continue until you return to the A. Coming back down the scale is just the opposite. Now bring your third finger over to hit the F#. Continue hitting the keys in order, one finger after the other, until the thumb lands on the E. The finger for the left hand begins with the pinky on the A. When you get to the D bring your thumb under to hit it, then bring your third finger back onto the C# and finish the opposite of how you started. Follow the rest of the scale out one finger after the other, ending with the little finger on A. You are going to hit the B with your second finger (you'll remember from a past lesson that the second finger is your index finger), the C# with your third finger, then bring your thumb under to hit the D. The fingering for the scale starts with the thumb of your right hand on the A. After A the scale progresses B, C#, D, E, F# G#, and back to A. The notes of the A Major scale start, obviously, on A. I'll start by teaching you the notes, then I'll teach you the proper fingering for the scale. Today I'm going to teach you the A Major scale.
