Scale Olympics

Test your piano skills at the 2009 Scale Olympics! Once you've been assigned a division, practice the requirements so that you can play the scales to perfection. Scale Olympians will receive awards based upon accuracy, but only those who play their scales perfectly will take home the gold! Ask about the Scale Olympics in your lesson to be assigned a division.
