Video #10 Chromatic Scale

A Robert Estrin video on the chromatic scale, which is a scale that doesn't skip any notes.

When playing a chromatic scale, use the correct fingering. The black keys are played with the 3 finger. It doesn't matter what note you start on, you use this fingering:

B--1
C--2
C sharp--3
D--1
D sharp--3
E--1
F--2
F sharp--3
G--1
G sharp--3
A--1

So, for the pairs of white keys (B/C and E/F), you use 1-2 fingers (ascending) and 2-1 (descending). Black keys use 3 fingers. The white keys within the black-key ranges (D and G/A), use the 1 finger.

That's more complicated than it is but oh well.
