Course Description
The third part of the course is the most challenging, but also the most varied and amusing. The exercises lead you to discover the technique of the piano: scales and thumb passage, chords and arpeggios. You will learn to play in different keys, and explore the full range of the keyboard.
COURSE STRUCTURE
Major scale and thumb pass
In the first module you learn to play the major scale, thanks to the thumb passage technique. You will first play the C major scale, which is composed entirely of white keys, and then add the alterations, sharps and flats. You will also discover third and sixth intervals, as well as new rhythmic figures such as the triplet.

Inside the mechanism
In the second module you will learn to play sixteenth notes, held notes and double notes. In the exercises you will find changes of key and embellishments. You will frequently change the position of your hands. You will put the study of scales to good use by playing them in increasingly complex and fun pieces.

The end of the journey. Congratulations!
In the third and final module of the video course you will tackle some longer and more challenging exercises. You will play sixteenth notes with both hands, you will encounter accidentals, chords and key changes. Finally, you will perform an exercise dedicated entirely to the chromatic scale. With these last pieces of work, your first exercise book comes to an end. It was a long and tiring book, but it taught you a lot about this wonderful instrument.
