Keith Snell’s Scale Skills \u2013 Level 2<\/em><\/strong> expands the student\u2019s technical vocabulary by introducing more keys, additional minor scales, and slightly longer patterns.<\/p>\n

1. Major Scales (1 octave, hands separate)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Typically included:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    A major, E major, D major, G major, C major<\/strong> (depending on exact edition)
    Keys now include two or three sharps\/flats<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Focus remains on:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      correct fingering<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      smooth transitions<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      steady, controlled playing<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      2. Minor Scales (natural and harmonic)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      Students usually encounter:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • \n

        A minor, E minor, D minor<\/strong> (1 octave)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Level 2 is often where harmonic minor<\/strong> appears for the first time.<\/p>\n

        3. Primary Triads (I\u2013IV\u2013V7)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

        In the same keys as the scales:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • \n

          blocked chords<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n

          simple chord progressions<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n

          hands separate<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          4. Cadences<\/strong><\/h3>\n

          Basic cadential patterns, expanding the harmonic vocabulary:<\/p>\n

            \n
          • \n

            I\u2013IV\u2013I<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

          • \n

            I\u2013V7\u2013I<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

          • \n

            and sometimes IV\u2013I or V\u2013I patterns for ear training<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            5. Broken Triads \/ Arpeggio Preparation<\/strong><\/h3>\n

            More elaborate broken-chord patterns than Level 1, still very accessible:<\/p>\n

              \n
            • \n

              root\u2013third\u2013fifth\u2013third<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

            • \n

              root\u2013fifth\u2013third\u2013fifth
              These pave the way toward full arpeggios in later levels.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              \u27a1\ufe0f The emphasis is purely technical and pattern-based.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
