Piano Scales: Pentatonic, Whole Tone & Chromatic Scales

PlayPiano Posted on by

On this video I demonstrate three kinds of scales:
*Chromatic scales — made of all half steps
*Whole tone scales — made of all whole steps
*Pentatonic scales — a 5-note scale composed of the root, 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 6ths of a major scale.

(On the video I said there are only 2 pentatonic scales: that is not quite accurate. You can have many different 5 note scales but for practical purposes the main two are built on all white keys and all black keys.)

For a complete course on scales please go to All About Scales & How To Use Them

About Duane

Duane Shinn (that would be me) has good news for you if you want to play the piano. He (me) has little fat hands & stubby little fingers - not at all suited for playing the piano - more suited to making mud pies or some such. I am also fairly uncoordinated with just average musical ability - certainly not a great piano player. But I've learned a ton about music over the years and people tell me I'm pretty decent at explaining how music works & how to progress more rapidly on the piano. Over the years I have developed about 150 techniques for conquering the piano. Most professional pianists can do these techniques, but very few can explain them in a way people can understand. I specialize in making complex techniques simple. I invite you to watch a few of my free videos and see some of these for yourself before making any decision about taking any of my courses.
