I&#8217;m a young 14-year old player and just want to know how many types of gospel piano scales there are and which ones I really need to know to progress as a gospel player. I already understand major scales and the circle of fifths and am now working on minor scales. You are doing a great job with your gift and this site. Thanks and God bless<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>My answer:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ade,<\/p>\n<p>Just by your question, I can see you&#8217;re a serious player&#8230; even at the tender age of 14.<\/p>\n<p>When I get questions from youngins&#8217; like you, I don&#8217;t take them lightly because I too was a young church musician. At 7 years old, after getting tired of beating on pots and pans and getting spankins&#8217; for putting holes in our couch, I moved on to playing this old antique piano my grandma won on the &#8220;Price Is Right&#8221; in the 70&#8217;s. <\/p>\n<p>Long story short, one thing led to another and by 12 I was playing for multiple churches, youth choirs, gospel choir competitions and more. So I know from personal experience, music has no age barrier.

Granted, some styles utilize certain ones more than others.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"blogheader\">Gospel Piano Scales &#8211; Whole tone<\/h2>\n<p>Since I&#8217;ve covered the blues scale, pentatonic scale, and minor pentatonic scale extensively in the past (see above links), I&#8217;ll just cover the ones I haven&#8217;t written about here.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to gospel piano scales, the whole tone scale is a great tool to have in your arsenal and pretty simple to understand. It&#8217;s basically all whole steps.<\/p>\n<div class=\"productinfo\">Half steps are from key to key with no keys in between. Whole steps always skip a key with one key in between.<\/div>\n<p>C Whole Tone: C &#8211; D &#8211; E &#8211; F# &#8211; G# &#8211; A#<\/p>\n<p><img src='http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,D,E,Fs,Gs,As&#038;color=CCFFFF&#038;size=2' border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p>And because every note is the same distance apart (equidistant), there are really only two unique whole tone scales.<\/p>\n<p>Why? Because if you play this same scale above starting and ending on D, you get the same exact notes.<\/p>\n<p>Starting and ending on E, same thing.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, pick a note in the scale and play the same notes and you&#8217;ve got yourself a brand new whole tone scale without changing up anything.<\/p>\n<p>So the only other whole tone scale is on B (or any other note of that scale, as explained above):<\/p>\n<p>B Whole Tone: B Db Eb F G A B<\/p>\n<p><img src='http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=B,Db,Eb,F,G,A,B&#038;color=FFFFCC&#038;size=2' border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p>These are great gospel piano scales to use with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Augmented chords<\/li>\n<li>Augmented 7th chords<\/li>\n<li>Dominant 7 #9 #5 (very popular in gospel)<\/li>\n<li>Dominant 7 b9 #5 (very popular as well)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8230;and many others. <\/p>\n<p>(If you&#8217;ve taken <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gospelkeys202.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">GospelKeys 202<\/a>, you&#8217;ll know the last two chords on the list are VERY popular in gospel. They can be used on the 2, b3, 3, b5, and 6 &#8212; but most popular on the 3 as passing chords. You&#8217;d simply play the chord in your left hand and experiment with different whole tone gospel piano scales in your right, knowing that there are really only 2 unique scales&#8230; and all the rest just start on different tones but use the same notes).<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"blogheader\">Gospel Piano Scales &#8211; Diminished Scale<\/h3>\n<p>The diminished scale is also a pretty cool gospel piano scale you can use with diminished chords (&#8230;which occur a lot in gospel).<\/p>\n<p>Just like the whole tone scale, you don&#8217;t have to remember 12 distinct scales because they repeat. There are only 3 unique diminished scales.<\/p>\n<p>E\u266d diminished (F\u266f\/G\u266d, A, C diminished): E\u266d, F, F\u266f, G\u266f, A, B, C, D, E\u266d<br \/>\nD diminished (F, A\u266d, B diminished): D, E, F, G, A\u266d, B\u266d, B, C\u266f, D<br \/>\nD\u266d diminished (E, G, B\u266d diminished): D\u266d, E\u266d, E, F\u266f, G, A, B\u266d, C, D\u266d<\/p>\n<p>How do you remember which scales share the same notes? <\/p>\n<p>Answer: Just remember which diminished chords share the same notes!<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s look at these 4 diminished chords:<\/p>\n<p><strong>C diminished 7:<\/strong>  C + Eb + Gb + A<\/p>\n<p><strong>Eb diminished 7:<\/strong> Eb + Gb +  A + C<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gb diminished 7:<\/strong> Gb + A + C + Eb<\/p>\n<p><strong>A diminished 7:<\/strong> A + C + Eb + Gb <\/p>\n<p>They share the same notes don&#8217;t they? Therefore, their corresponding diminished scales will be the same. So just commit the three diminished scales above to memory, remember which ones group together, and you&#8217;ll have even more gospel piano scales to add to your repertoire!<\/p>\n<p>And because diminished 7 chords are commonly found on the b2, b3, 3, b5, b6, and 6 tones of the scale, you&#8217;ll have many opportunities to employ these gospel piano scales.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to gospel piano scales, if you master the 6 here, you&#8217;ll never run out of ideas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/php3rlUSwAM.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"php3rlUSwAM\" width=\"100\" height=\"66\" align=\"right\" \/>We&#8217;re back for another &#8220;Ask Jermaine&#8221; where I choose a student&#8217;s question and give my personal take on it &#8212; this week on gospel piano scales. <\/p>\n<p>It comes from Ade: &#8220;How many types of gospel piano scales are there and which ones do I really need to know to progress as a gospel player.&#8221; My answer&#8230; <!--more--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[99],"class_list":["post-165","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog","tag-gospel-piano-scales"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Ask Jermaine: &quot;How To Play Gospel Piano Scales&quot; - Gospel Music Training Center<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:title\" content=\"Ask Jermaine: &quot;How To Play Gospel Piano Scales&quot; - Gospel Music Training Center\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:description\" content=\"We&#039;re back for another &quot;Ask Jermaine&quot; where I choose a student&#039;s question and give my personal take on it --- this week on gospel piano scales.
