EKS Lesson Three Developing scales and triads
It is important to realise that, because of the layout of the keyboard, it is possible to transfer what you have learned to other notes. For example, we can transfer the major scale to begin on C.
There are only natural notes in the C major scale. Look at our Figure 5, below. We have included fingering for both the right and left hand.
