Once you have started weeding out the tension, use my "Scale Workout Checklist" to ingrain this approach in scale fragments for improvisation, creating faster scales and melodic ideas. The secret to playing fast scales is not about strength, or even TRYING to play fast. It is about weeding out unnecessary tension. In this simple exercise, I show you how to practice to get smooth, fast scales and melodic lines. This powerful piano practice technique is guaranteed to improve your playing instantly (ok, give it a few tries first), regardless of you level.
