Major Scales I (the flat keys + C Major)

Here are the seven flat-key Major Scales plus the C Major, written out for one and two octaves for pianists, along with piano fingerings. Mastery of these scales benefits all musicians. Instrumentalists gain a higher working knowledge of their instrument and of the music they play. Know your scales!!

For pianists, start with just one octave and master the fingering and the notes for each scale, hand separately, and then hands together. Practice slowly, using a metronome to help establish a steady tempo. Only go faster as the fingerings and notes become easy and flow naturally.

Once you have mastered single octave scales, try extending each scale to two octaves. This will be easier if you put a stop in after the first octave, giving your brain a chance to start the pattern over for the second octave.
