*Two-octave Scale Practice Patterns - animated Contour Diagrams

This page hosts a collection of two-octave scale practice patterns (SPPs) demonstrated as animated contour diagrams (CDs) plus MS (static) in C.

You can play these patterns with the C fingering in G, D, A and E simply by using the accidentals in the key signature.

Work through the patterns in C to refresh your memory, then attempt/practice the patterns in other keys.

Eight two-octave SPPs

The patterns in other sharp keys

You can play the eight patterns above in G, D, A and E simply using the C fingering but just adding in accidentals in the key signature.

Here are the Key-specific Keyboards for the four sharp keys in question.

G major has one sharp - F sharp. It's the note just below the tonic (G).

D major keeps the F sharp from G major and adds C sharp - again, affecting the note just below the tonic.

A major keeps the F sharp and C sharp from D major and sharpens the G, the note just below the tonic.

E major keeps the three sharps (F, C and G) from A major, and again sharpens the note just below the tonic - D.
