Piano scale technique is a topic I receive a lot of questions about. In this video, I share three principles for improving piano scale technique. You can apply these principles to your own piano scales in order to play with more ease and proficiency.
This video is the first in my new series on piano scale technique - today I am laying the groundwork and I'll be doing a deeper dive into each of the 3 principles in future videos.
