I have gotten to knowing the keyboard very well, being able to sight read both staffs pretty well. Knowing my chords in C Major, D Major, F Major, G Major and A Major. Now I am onto scales so I have done the major scales of all the notes, then figured out the pattern to getting the minor scales and I am working that pretty well too. Just recently I began to work with the Pentonic Major and Minor, so what should i be practicing how to make my scales our of the formulas then practice each scale or just figure them out once and practice all the scales from a sheet each day - what do you suggest? Where to I go from here... working the blues scale ? Or is there something else in there first I feel so confused right now like there is something else i should be doing or working on here ... I guess that is why an instructor really helps ....any advice is appreciated.... I am teaching myself keyboard at home, its been about 2 years now ( slow).

There are only FIVE notes in the scale (instead of SEVEN). Major pentatonic = major scale MINUS the 4th and 7th Minor pentatonic = natural minor scale MINUS the 2nd and 6th. Play around with these scales... Hi Ralph,

The only thing I can think for you is maybe the pentatonic scale. There are only FIVE notes in the scale (instead of SEVEN).

Major pentatonic = major scale MINUS the 4th and 7th
Minor pentatonic = natural minor scale MINUS the 2nd and 6th.

Play around with these scales…
