‘Scales Detective’ Activity Sheet

Looking for a way to teach scales and integrate theory into lessons?

Make piano scales EASY for students to remember – make them highly visual and add colour!  Choose which scale patterns you want – Major, Natural Minor, or Harmonic & Melodic minors, or get the Complete Set of pictorial scales and save time and money.  The Major scales and Natural Minor scales sets both contain two pages of worksheets each, and the Harmonic & Melodic Minor scales set contains four pages. Easy to print and hand out – They are a great tool for introducing students to keyboard scale patterns… Or for reinforcing scale patterns for those who forget!

Each set contains page/s designed especially for teaching piano scales, at the keyboard. Based on the interval pattern for each scale, students can colour in or highlight the note pattern needed, and add the fingering for each hand.  One of the most important things for piano students to remember where they put their thumbs – and these pictorial worksheets take care of that too!

For students who struggle with remembering the differences between the harmonic and melodic minor scales, this particular worksheet package puts both scales on the same page for direct comparison.  Students can see and memorise the differences!

Each scale also has an alternative page format intended specifically for theory students, where there is no need to teach finger numbers. Great for class work.  Music staff is also included so students can notate the scales as well, to reinforce the note patterns.

Pictorial Scales worksheets are also useful for distance learning online – helps students to visualise and learn each scale pattern quickly.

Two versions are included with each scale set – one version with US music terms and the other with UK music terms.  Choose the terms you prefer!
