I didn't know what a whole tone scale was. Now I do and I know how to play both the C and C# whole tone scales (remember there are only these two!) using the recommended fingering - up and down the keyboard. Good class to add a new technique to the skills I already have.

This is an excellent course and fun. The theory concept is easy to unserstand. I am a beginner who started online study in 2015 and I had never heard of the whole tone scale theory. I look forward to using this style in many of my practice pieces. Thank you for great instruction. Sandra
