Abstract

This scholarly article illuminates how piano pedagogues can benefit by teaching scales from a keyboard perspective rather than from a theoretical viewpoint. Through years of teaching scales in both group and studio settings, this author has developed a method of teaching scales that yields quick results, accurate notes and fingering, and fluent playing, all through a topographical approach to the instrument.
