This book contains all the scales and arpeggios required for the ABRSM Grade 2 Piano exam, fully aligned with the updated syllabus introduced from 2021. It provides clear fingering guidance and structured practice material to support confident and accurate preparation.

? Why Are Scales Essential at Grade 2?

At FHK Music, we see Grade 2 as an important stage where technical habits become more secure. Regular scale practice at this level helps students:

• Improve finger independence and strength
• Achieve better evenness and control
• Develop smoother hands?together coordination
• Strengthen their understanding of key signatures and tonal patterns

? What Do Students Learn at Grade 2?

At this stage, students expand their knowledge with:

• Major and minor scales (hands separately and some hands together)
• Introduction to contrary motion scales
• More developed arpeggios
• Greater attention to consistent fingering and tone quality

Mastering these technical skills ensures students are well prepared for more demanding repertoire and higher grades.

An essential technical companion for every Grade 2 pianist — building confidence, fluency, and strong foundations for future success. ??
