ABRSM Piano Scale & Arpeggios Grade 2

For those who are taking the graded exams, scales is one of the requirements of the exam. For a young child, these may not be easy to learn as they all sound the same but consists of different groups of black and white keys. Students not only need to remember the correct notes for each scale, but also need to practice with the correct fingering. Practicing with the correct fingering will allow you to remember the scale fingering and notes easily (most scales have the same fingering) and to avoid playing the wrong notes. The correct fingering may not be the most convenient fingering, thus students need to resist the urge to use the most convenient fingering or to play faster than he/she can control with the correct fingering. Therefore, for young children, it is always advisable for the parents to learn so that they can guide their children at home.
