Scales

Now that you know what sharps or flats are in each key, it is
important that you be able to play the scale for each key. This is
necessary because in Chord Piano, you create your own runs and
fills, and therefore it is necessary to know which notes are sharp
and flat in each key for improvisation. Listed below are the 12
keys and their corresponding scales. Practice them DAILY.
