Piano Scales & Arpeggios – ABRSM Grade 7 is an official ABRSM technical resource containing all the scales and arpeggios required for the Grade 7 Piano examination.
The book covers the revised ABRSM Piano requirements introduced from 2021, providing students with a dedicated resource for systematic technical practice and examination preparation.
At Grade 7, students work with a more demanding range of scale and arpeggio patterns, including scales in similar motion, scales a third apart, contrary-motion scales, scales in thirds, chromatic contrary-motion scales, dominant sevenths and diminished sevenths.
Regular scale and arpeggio practice helps Grade 7 students strengthen the technical control required for advanced piano repertoire.
Students can develop:
Finger coordination and independence
Technical fluency and consistency
Accuracy across more complex patterns
Evenness of tone and rhythm
Control when changing between different scale patterns
Familiarity with major and minor tonalities
Greater confidence performing technical requirements from memory
Technical preparation for advanced repertoire
The Grade 7 requirements also introduce more varied technical patterns, giving students opportunities to develop control beyond standard scale practice.
