NOTE: the piano scales content has been removed in version 2.0 of the app (July 2020), in line with the ABRSM Piano syllabus changes. If you wish to retain access to this legacy content, do not update the app. Our new Piano Scales Trainer app provides dedicated support for the new ABRSM Piano Scales requirements at Grades 1-5 (from 2021 onwards). This is a separate product available in the App Store.
