EKS Lesson Three Developing scales and triads
It is possible to play this scale one octave lower on the keyboard and this is broadly where your left hand tends to be used when playing the keyboard. The notes are exactly the same, as is the left hand fingering.
Notice how this is written on the stave. The extra lines below the stave are called ledger lines. You should also be aware that although the scale is exactly the same, the sound is lower.
Look at our example 2 (Figure 2), below, to see where the scale starts on the keyboard and then use the multimedia files as always.
