I'm Russian too, and can confirm that even if russian hasn't the teacher and never seen how other persons playing piano you will playing scales in this manner.)
Thank you, my teacher mentioned them and showed them to me recently but I guess forgot to tell me what they're called in the RCM. She did mention that sometimes they do ask you to do it for an exam.
Thank you, more things to add to my warm ups...I don't play or practice any music anymore I only do drills and warm-ups which surprisingly makes me sound good.
I wish I had studied the Russian Scales. I’m going to look for them in my scale book! Thank you. I’m spending a lot of time studying Rachmaninov and Alexander Scriabin, two of my favorite Russian composers. Thank you for sharing!
I would add in playing two octave scales with eighth notes, three octave scales in triplets with accents on the beat and four octave scales with sixteenth notes and accents. 😊
My grandma is 92 n works puzzles all the time. She's doing good so far 😁 I'm sure piano would assist in cognition especially when you learn new things.
My (Polish) piano teacher that me all of these saying I'll need this in the future for various pieces. She was right! When I have something even remotely similar it's way easier to learn it because I had these There were also many other scales... there were... a lot of them. She loved teaching scales.
I practised these scales in school but never knew they were fun ways to do. :-) And the last scale was never called Russian in my Moscow school, I have even never used it, just heard and known it existed. :-)
I also was wandering what's that supposed to mean. Possibly that right hand starts in the root, contrary to what he explained for thirds. And actually playing 6ths you are playing the same notes but changing which note is in the left and which in the right. Eg. C4 with E4 is converted to E3 with C4.
In thirds, LH on root or do RH on third or mi. In Sixths, LH starts on third or mi. RH starts on root or do. The hands do not physically switch places or cross. They just start on different pitches.
The pattern looks interesting? It hurts just watching his hands be able to move around like a Rollercoaster, hitting every right note as if each finger had a brain of it's own. I wish I could coordinate my hands like that. Although I'm still a beginner so maybe someday I can.
The Russian scale is called "full set of scales", as it has a wide range of octaves and smoothly combines both contrary and similar. Well that's what I learnt from my Russian teacher.
Hi sir I'm confused if you could possibly help me what is a Russian scale and how do you play scales in 6ths? If you have this writen for down load please let me know. Thank you very much best of wishes teddy.
The scale in 6ths is like the scale in 3rds, only you are switching what the right and left hand are doing. So playing a C major scale in 3rds your left hand starts on C and your right hand starts on E, which is the 3rd interval of C major. To play it in 6ths, switch it. Your left hand starts on E and your right hand starts on C.
@@kenkinnally6144 thank you so very much. I finally figured it out a little hard at first but I'm starting to get the hang of it thank you again best Wishes Always Teddy
LMAO really? These are just basic scale patterns. Do you not know how to play a scale? If you dont know how to play a scale then maybe you shouldn't worry about alternative patterns...just learn how to play a regular old scale first then once you can do that then come back and use these alternatives to spice up your everyday routine. 😂
Hi Jazer, I'm wondering if you could answer this. I can't find an answer to this specific question, on the internet. If my sheet music has a ledger line C note on bass clef, can I use my right hand for that note, if it's already in C position, or do I have to use my left? Thanks
Look for " full set of scales " 1. 4 oct similar ascending 2. 4 oct similar descending 2. 2 oct similar ascending 3. 2 octave contrary 4. 2 oct similar ascending 5. 2 oct similar descending 6. 2 oct contrary 7. 2 oct descending ( ending at the same sport as the beginning)
As a Russian I can confirm my teacher from a music school taught scales to me in that exact manner
I'm Russian too, and can confirm that even if russian hasn't the teacher and never seen how other persons playing piano you will playing scales in this manner.)
me too :) I never thought it was "Russian scales".
My Hungarian teacher taught me the same thing
@@JohnSmith-oe5kx awesome!
not russian but me too
As a piano player i can confirm i had no idea it was called russian scales
Agreed! 😊
@@canterleviYeah agreed too.
Yeah! My book called it the “Grand Form”
I am a pianist and have done rcm since the age of 8 (I’m 17 now) and the ‘Russian scales’ are also called formula patterns for anyone confused
Life saver.

spot on well done,contrary motion very very important

Excellent tips!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

Ah jaysus now I'm bewildered 🫣
the thirds are tough but good practice, it feels cramped and forces you to stay in sync
Wow this is excellent 🖤🎼🖤
You make it look so easy 🎉
I would add in playing two octave scales with eighth notes, three octave scales in triplets with accents on the beat and four octave scales with sixteenth notes and accents. 😊
Really enjoying your lessons.
Awesome! Looks like a great exercise
That is too cool thank you 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thanks super video and explanation.
So impressive
As a piano player from Poland, I was practicing scales in the Russian way for years
Awesome tips
Love it!
Nice one Jazer👍🎹
Whow! I gotta try this! Just learnt my scales
Thank you very much ❤🇧🇷
The best channel in TH-cam ❤

I start learning to play piano at 60. If I can practise this scale like Jazer, I think I won’t have chance to get Alzheimer.
I agree ❤
Wow Cathy lm 63 learning, love your comment and jazer reply
All studies point to exercise being the most effective anti aging utility.

im gonna try this!
So help helpful
It's great! What fingerings do you use, or some pdf that you can share please that will be awesome and very helpful
thanks for these tips. Can you explain 6th and "right and left hand switch spots" please ?
I also was wandering what's that supposed to mean. Possibly that right hand starts in the root, contrary to what he explained for thirds. And actually playing 6ths you are playing the same notes but changing which note is in the left and which in the right. Eg. C4 with E4 is converted to E3 with C4.
In thirds, LH on root or do RH on third or mi. In Sixths, LH starts on third or mi. RH starts on root or do. The hands do not physically switch places or cross. They just start on different pitches.
thanks
Please, make a complete tutorial video about that.
this is nice I must try it
That was cool
I struggle with exactly that. Thank you for showing me it's possible😂😂😂
The russian scale reminds me of Hanon exercise 48.
Wow! 😳😂😳
So talented!
Thank you for sharing such a fun ways to practice scales! I'm also interested at Russian scales~ 👍👏🌹💕
No idea of the Russian scale. It would be nice if you could show us. Thanks🙏.
Love from India.
First time I am hearing Russian scale! And it's so beautiful❤️
My russian teacher taught me the exact same ones you did
Superb
I have a question, is it more advisable to practice multiple exercises but with only one scale or to practice one exercise but with all the scales?
Can you explain to me what the Russian scale is? It’s sounds cool and the pattern looks interesting
The pattern looks interesting? It hurts just watching his hands be able to move around like a Rollercoaster, hitting every right note as if each finger had a brain of it's own. I wish I could coordinate my hands like that. Although I'm still a beginner so maybe someday I can.
Now I understand why my Russian teacher taught me the way she did, thanks Tatyana!
Sir please thumb and little finger two note finger exercise upload please

Is it OK to look at your hands when not sight reading? It seems so
That WAS fun
How many years have u played the piano
En France ce sont les exercices du recueil Hanon.
Очень любопытно) русская гамма. В России я слышала несколько названий: крест, квадрат и расходящиеся гаммы
On 3rds n 6ths which key major u play or is it contrary motion ?
Да будет так.
I like russian scalea... I will start use it in warm up..... 😊
Where can I find the tutorial?
as a person who grew up with a russian music teacher i can confirm that’s how i learned my scales

Please make Tutorial for how to practice Russian scale
Look for " full set of scales "

How to play the 'russian scales'?
I'm working on contrary motion and man I feel super dumb and uncoordinated. It's been about a week and I'm still stuck on the Cmaj scale.
The thirds one made me think the Mr. Roger's theme was gonna start.
To quick for me to copy!😂
Bro the 3rd part was almost counter point
Can you do a slower more elaborate video on this please?
yes way too fast
@@charlesw1973go to the settings and change the speed 0.25
Is it ok not to be able to do these in 4th grade? Or am I behind??
Im a begginner compsred to thst: C/C, D/D, E/E....
Russian scales were my favourite...❤
As a piano player with a Russian teacher I can confirm that I have done a lot of Russian scales. I had no clue that’s what they were called.
How has this not blow up yet
It's nothing new
@@danevans217but it's russian
What is the Russian scale? Can someone please explain?
Just going in different directions with the hands. Sometimes in parallel motion sometimes contrary motion.
As a Saxophonist I just go up and down with changed fingerings on each scale
I like doing them in canon
Vat iz dis ruz-KEY skal you speek ov ?
Oo! Love that Russian scale !
Muito maneiro a Escala Russa
Russian was 🔥🔥❤️
In my school we call number 5 “formula pattern” I had no idea they were Russian 😂
Isn’t number 5. grand scale format?
Make this video in longer.. Could not catch up 3rd and 4th. .. 😞
Yoo how long does it take to do that 😅
