E♭ major scale
Eight notes up and back down, the thumb tucking under so one hand plays the whole octave.
How to play it
The numbers are your fingers: 1 is the thumb, 5 the little finger.
Right hand
Start on E♭ with finger 3. Going up the fingers are 3 1 2 3 4 1 2 3. Your thumb tucks under after finger 3 and 4, each time. Come back down the same way.
Left hand
An octave lower, start on E♭ with finger 3. Going up the fingers are 3 2 1 4 3 2 1 3. After your thumb, finger 4 and 3 crosses over. Come back down the same way.
Both hands
Play both hands together, an octave apart. The hands change position at different notes, so go slowly and watch the finger numbers.
