ONE OCTAVE SCALES
 

Learning one-octave piano scales helps build essential skills like hand coordination, finger independence, and dexterity. It allows pianists to focus on finger placement and smooth transitions within a limited range. Practicing one-octave scales also aids in ear training, improving pitch recognition and understanding key signatures, while laying the groundwork for more complex pieces.
