![]() ![]() This is done by releasing 4 or 2 then flipping 3-5 over 1 which functions as a pivot finger. Similarly, going in the opposite direction (RH descending, LH ascending), 3-5 first crosses over 1-4 then 1-2. Then, 1-4 crosses over the second occurrence of 3-5 to reach the bottom and top points. This is done by releasing 3 before 5 then flipping 1-2 over 5 which functions as a pivot finger. Play C major one octave hands alone then together, giving special attention to 1-2 in the RH ascending and LH descending which crosses over the first occurrence of 3-5. Examine lines 1a-b, C major in double thirds in parallel and contrary motion.GRADE 8 – LESSON 1 (lines 1a-b, 2a-b, 3a-b): C MAJOR – C MINOR ![]() Simply screen-shot or print out each lesson and use the instructions as a guide to help work your way through the book!

The average student should spend at least 10-15 minutes daily on each lesson, making the learning of major scales an integral part of their overall daily piano practice. The better one can learn these rudimentary lessons, the stronger one’s overall technical and theoretical foundation will become. In any case, students should avoid rushing through lessons and skipping steps. Conversely, for students who are unusually gifted and/or fast learners, two or perhaps three lessons could be learned in one week. Ideally, each Lesson equals one week, but could be extended to two weeks for students who either learn at a slower pace and/or have less time to practice. Grade 8 is spread out over a total of 12 weeks, not including the Exam. TO TEACHERS & STUDENTS: The objective of Grade 8 is to learn the 12 major and parallel minor scales (harmonic and melodic) in double thirds played one octave in parallel and contrary motion at a slow tempo.
