Start slowly, concentrating on fingering and playing each pair of notes at the same time, and gradually build up the speed.
Scales are generally played with the hands one octave - that is, eight white notes - apart. There’s no particular trick to this - it just takes time to get used to it. Once you’ve practiced both hands separately, it’s time to play the two hands simultaneously. Should you be playing more than one octave, continue the sequence thus: 2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1… and finishing on a final 3. To play the descending one octave Bb harmonic minor scale, reverse the sequence thus: 3, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3. Should you wish to play more than one octave, repeat the sequence from the last finger ‘3’, thus: 3, 2, 1, 4, 3, 2, 1, 3, 2, 1, 4, 3, 2, 1, 3… The ascending one octave Bb harmonic minor scale is most easily played by the left hand with the fingering 3, 2, 1, 4, 3, 2, 1, 3 This fingering is different from scales on white keys because of the position of the black keys making the standard 1,2,3,1,2,3,4 fingering cumbersome. Should you be playing more than one octave, repeat the sequence from finger ‘4’, thus: 4, 3, 2, 1, 3, 2, 1, 4, 3, 2, 1, 3, 2, 1, 4, 3… and always finishing on a 2 for the final note. To play the descending one octave Bb harmonic minor scale, reverse the sequence thus: 4, 3, 2, 1, 3, 2, 1, 2 Should you wish to play more than one octave, simply continue with a ‘1’, continuing the sequence from the first ‘1’ in the sequence, thus: 2, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 4… The ascending one octave Bb harmonic minor scale is most easily played by the right hand with the fingering 2, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 4 Left and right hands fingering for Bb harmonic minor scale Right Hand Playing
