Be Sure That Only One Note Is Heard At A Time
While playing scales and arpeggios, be sure that only one note (per hand) is heard at a time. Many students hold down a note even after playing the next one or two notes. This creates a confusion of sounds. When playing hands together, be sure that the two notes are struck simultaneously. Many students arpeggiate the interval between the hands. Develop a visual sense of the scales as combinations of black and white keys. The keyboard is designed for this by virtue of the different sizes and colors of the keys as well as the irregular distribution of the black notes.
