Let's Learn a Scale! C Major: Broken Triad

Welcome to http://PointandTouch.blogspot.com/ once again!

This week, I would like to do a short post on something called a scale. A scale is when you play different notes softly passed onto one finger to the next, playing the same notes up the piano, letting every note have a turn to be first. Today I would to introduce the easiest scale to do. This scale is called a triad. It is broken form, meaning it is legato and the notes are pronounced seperate. Not like solid form, where you play all the notes at the same time. This triad is broken C Major. It has no sharps, flats, or two notes beside each other.

Above, you see three notes highlighted: C, E, and G. (in order from left to right) In a C Major broken triad scale, you must start with C, then E, then G. Then, as I said at first, each note must have a turn to be on the first finger in order. Then you put your first finger on E, then G, then the octave higher C. Now, G still hasn't been first. So you go G, then C, then octave higher E. Then you go backwards to middle C again.

Lastly, I would like to play a game. If you know this composer, whom is not as famous as Beethoven or Mozart, comment below who this composer is. If no one guesses it, I will tell you in the next post next week!
