For example, in the key of C major: the following notes: C. The fingering is particularly important as the scales are preparing players to be able to cope with potentially very fast passages. The term chromatic literally means colorful and is used by music scholars to describe a musical idea (be it a note, scale, interval, chord, progression, etc.) that is foreign to a prevalent key. Few people achieve the sort of control over the fingers and hands one can gain with piano training. The chromatic scale is often played when learning an instrument such as the piano or the guitar as it develops good technique and prepares students to be able to play pieces that require this. It also provides benefit in other areas of life, like assembly and repair and crafts. The logarithmic scale assures that the two notes of every interval are separated by the same distance no matter where you are on the piano.

That is a skill I can do due to fine control, the other techs on my shift could not. But when you are trying to thread a nut on a bolt behind an opaque bulkhead upside down or sideways with the wrist twisted to align, the movement is all fingers. Yeah, faulty_d it is not all fingers, you have to rotate the wrist a little to be fastest at this skill. It is a tonic run, not a chromatic one, but my fingers don't get very tired because of all the practice of those muscles. The tonic note (shown as ) is the starting point and is always the 1st note in the chromatic scale. Each note is one H alf-tone / semitone (1 piano key - white or black) away from the next one, shown as H in the diagram below. All those years of practice of a purely physical skill pays off in the end. The chromatic scale contains 12 notes, and uses every single white and black note counting up from the first.

The teacher suggested I help by inserting the other hand, but on organ one can tell from the records, the artists are doing that run all on the same manual (sound). I'm practicing a JS Bach piece where the best fingering on one run includes consecutive finger crossovers IMHO. Few people achieve the sort of control over the fingers and hands one can gain with piano training. It also provides benefit in other areas of life, like assembly and repair and crafts.
