I have included this note in the treble staff above. (a) Putnew key signature, no sharps or flats. If we were writing it down in to C major proceed as follows: am leaving this for you to work out and complete. It is very important to get the first note correct, otherwise everything will be incorrect. The above gives only the first note of the new key in the treble, and I have also included the first note of the new key in the bass.
Read from the lowest note in the bass upwards, thus scanning vertically and horizontally reading by interval and taking note of the contours in each hand. When you are satisfied you can play each part hands separately, try playing both hands together. Play the scale of E major one octave ascending and descending in the right hand, and one octave lower in the left hand ascending and descending. We are only dealing with major scales at present minor scales will come in the intermediate or advanced series.
In the above key signature the last sharp on the right is D sharp, so the key note for a major scale is E. It's a good idea to play the scale first in the right hand, then one octave lower in the left hand. With a sharp key signature, the key note (first note of the scale, also called the tonic for a major key, is a half a tone higher than the last sharp in the key signature on the right. Insert a finger number under the first note in each hand.For the left hand, insert the finger number in the space under the bottom line of the bass staff.Check the key signature to see which notes have to be played as sharps.
Practise the above exercise hands separately, however before you do it, work out which key (scale) the exercise is in, and play the scale first as per instruction a little further down in this paragraph.Scan along the notes played by each hand, checking to see the lowest and highest note to be played in each hand.
