Andrés Segovia famously said that if he only had two hours to practice, he would spend all of them on scales.
That statement isn’t about repetition for its own sake. It’s about building a technical foundation strong enough to support every piece you play.
In this lesson segment, Belmin Okanovic demonstrates a structured approach to practicing the Segovia Scales. Rather than rushing to speed, he guides you through a layered progression: quarter notes first, then eighths, triplets, and sixteenths.
Along the way, he emphasizes right hand alternation, clean shifting, and experimenting with different finger combinations to build coordination and tonal control.
