Deconstructing the Scale

William Westney demonstrates his unique approach to scales for pianists of all levels which uses a simple exercise that can be applied to any fast passage in the repertoire. Through a step-by-step process, Westney shows a natural progression from modest groups of three notes to playing virtuosic passagework in Liszt’s Mephisto Waltz with ease.

This exercise has been a game changer for countless students. The secret of its success? Three important elements – 1) relaxation, 2) trust and 3) honesty – all taken to delightful extremes!
