scale of scales

This is a piano scale.

Hands one octave apart.   Play 2 octaves similar motion ascending, then two octave’s contrary motion, then two octaves descending in similar motion.

I like practising my minor scales in this way. 

My other way of practicing piano scales is to start in different places….for example arpeggios in the inversions also for scales such as g minor left hand starting on G right hand starting on Bb.

The purpose of scales for both piano and recorder is to train your ears to hear keys correctly and fingers to play the patterns they a most often needing.
