Scales are at the heart of every pianist’s training — but true mastery goes far beyond fast fingers. In this Focus Session, Rae shows how thoughtful scale practice builds both technical fluency and musical expression.
You’ll learn how to:
Coordinate your hands for evenness and freedom
Align the fingers and hand to reduce tension
Pass the thumb and cross the fingers with ease
Shape each scale musically, not mechanically
Learn how to turn everyday scale work into an expressive skill that supports all your repertoire. This session also gives teachers practical strategies to teach alignment, coordination, and tone balance for truly fluent, musical scales.
