You will gain a greater understanding of the specific nature of sounds, will develop and expand your technique as a pianist, and will broaden your understanding of music theory.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learning and practicing scales is like stretching and exercising for an athlete, studying and investigating for a scientist, or preparing and organizing a kitchen for a chef. <a href=\"\/blog\/running-and-jumping-scales-and-arpeggios\/\">Practicing scales and arpeggios<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0is preparatory work that enables us to feel more confident in our skills when the time comes to engage them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_ways_to_make_practicing_scales_more_enjoyable\"><\/span><strong>6 ways to make practicing scales more enjoyable<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is possible for scales to feel tedious, boring, and robotic. If you feel that your scale practice has become lethargic, stale, and stagnant, then you need to engage your imagination to create some new ways to play them. Do not let yourself get lulled into a sense of boredom with your scale practice! Instead, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skoove.com\/en\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">online piano lessons<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can provide fun and fresh ideas for scale practice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All the examples and ideas here will use the C major scale. The C major scale is spelled C &#8211; D &#8211; E &#8211; F &#8211; G &#8211; A &#8211; B &#8211; C with <a href=\"\/blog\/scale-degrees-explained\/\">the scale degrees<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a01 &#8211; 2 &#8211; 3 &#8211; 4 -5 &#8211; 6 &#8211; 7 &#8211; 1. You can play it like this on the piano:<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-25453 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/C-major-scale-degrees-e1649141258162.png\" alt=\"scale practice\" width=\"500\" height=\"116\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Create patterns and shapes<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A great way to break out of habits or ruts with your scales and make them more fun and engaging for your mind and fingers is to create patterns and shapes out of them. For example, instead of simply playing the scale up and down, you could create a repeating pattern in the scale like this: <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-25461\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/repeating-pattern-in-the-piano-scale-e1649141384579.png\" alt=\"scale practice\" width=\"500\" height=\"116\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Practice this pattern from C until you are comfortable with the shape, then move the shape up and down through the scale. This enhances your visual skills as well as provides your fingers with new pathways, which will help develop your technique in new ways.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is no shortage of patterns like this you can create. Here is another one to try next:<\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-25469\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/another-pattern-in-the-piano-scale-e1649141500846.png\" alt=\"scale practice\" width=\"500\" height=\"116\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like the previous pattern, practice this example from C until you feel confident with the fingers. Then, shift the pattern up and down through the scale. This is a great exercise for developing the movement of major and minor thirds, which is an extremely common move in piano music!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Vary your rhythm<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another technique you can use to make your scale practice more fun and engaging is to vary your rhythm. How much thought have you put into the rhythms you use when you practice your scales? Do you usually play your scales in quarter notes? Or eighth notes? What about the combination of quarter notes and eighth notes like this:<\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-25477\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/combination-of-quarter-notes-and-eighth-notes-e1649141603580.png\" alt=\"scale practice\" width=\"500\" height=\"116\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Or a combination of eighth notes and quarter notes like this:<\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-25485\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/combination-of-eighth-notes-and-quarter-notes-e1649141707885.png\" alt=\"scale practice\" width=\"500\" height=\"116\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can employ this same technique in the practice of patterns like we explored previously as well!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Shifting directions<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How much have you thought about the directions you practice your piano scales? You can try shifting the directions of your hands to make your scale practice more challenging and engaging. Try the example below:<\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-25493\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shifting-the-directions-of-your-hands-e1649141827465.png\" alt=\"scale practice\" width=\"500\" height=\"119\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this example, the left and right hands are moving in opposite directions from one another. You will also notice that the hands follow the same finger pattern when we practice in opposite directions!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A great practice is to begin with both hands moving in parallel motion, then when you reach the octave split the hands in opposite directions like in this example, then move the hands in parallel motion again. You can vary this kind of motion with <a href=\"\/blog\/how-to-remember-piano-notes\/\">the piano notes<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0in many different ways, so get creative with it!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Start your hands in different places<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A great way to find new and unexpected sounds and feelings is to practice your scales with your hands starting in different places. For example, try to play the notes of the C major scale with your left hand starting from C and your right hand starting from E like this:<\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-25501\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shifting-hand-directions-with-c-major-scale-e1649141945295.png\" alt=\"scale practice\" width=\"500\" height=\"116\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think of all the possible combinations you could make from the approach! There are quite a few new sounds to explore with just the C major scale by approaching this method.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You could even create a variation where you play two completely different scales at the same time! For example, stick with C major in your left hand and play the E major scale in your right hand like this:<\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-25509\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/c-and-e-major-scale-e1649142040376.png\" alt=\"scale practice\" width=\"500\" height=\"116\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What a wild sound combination that is! Remember, anything is possible when we are practicing scales. There are no rules, all we need to do is exercise a little creativity and imagination!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Practice with the metronome<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, the tried and true method is to practice your scales with the metronome. Use Skoove\u2019s built-in metronome feature to enhance your skills!. The key is to make it feel like a game. So, come up with games that challenge your skills! <\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-25517\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Skoove-metronome.png\" alt=\"scale practice\" width=\"1600\" height=\"753\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Skoove-metronome.png 1600w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Skoove-metronome-300x141.png 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Skoove-metronome-1024x482.png 1024w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Skoove-metronome-768x361.png 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Skoove-metronome-1536x723.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can you practice with the metronome so perfectly that the sound of the metronome disappears completely? Can you practice your scale using any of the patterns we have learned today on the slowest possible setting without playing ahead or behind the metronome? It is much more difficult to do consistently than you might imagine!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can you play your scales perfectly in eighth notes with the metronome at a comfortable <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tempo<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">? What about triplets or sixteenth notes? Are you capable of imagining the metronome on beats 1 and 3? Or 2 and 4? Or only on beat 1? All of these are examples of games you can play with the metronome to make your scale practice more fun and engaging for your hands and brain.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Make sure you have some fun!<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, what good is practicing scales if you do not spend a little time afterwards making some music! So, try to take a little time after your scale practice to create some spontaneous music with the scale you were just practicing. Yes, you need to practice the technical aspect of playing the piano, but you also need to practice your creativity with the techniques as much as possible. The ability to play a scale quickly up and down is not useful unless you can actually make something exciting happen with it! So throw some of <a href=\"\/blog\/piano-chords\/\">the basic piano chords<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0under your scales and have some fun!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Bringing it all together<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Practicing scales is a necessary and useful part of developing as a pianist. You can think of practicing scales in the same ways an athlete might stretch or workout before a game or how a painter might explore their color palette before beginning to paint their masterpiece.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scales form one essential building block of music, so it is crucial that you spend time with them. It is also crucial for you to find exciting and engaging ways to practice them! Finding new pathways to practice old patterns will ignite new connections in your brain and make your efforts with the piano more rewarding overall!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As always, Skoove is here to help you with those efforts.
