## Definition

On the piano, **_scale positions_** are the different places on the keyboard from which a given scale can be played, so the same scale can be practiced and explored from more than one hand position.

In the channel's piano and music theory material, **_scale positions_** refers to the different places on the keyboard where a scale can be played — the idea that a scale is not tied to one fixed spot but can be explored from multiple hand positions. When Codex teaches piano and music theory in real time, scale positions are part of understanding how the same musical material maps onto different parts of the instrument[^2f7cb0cf-504c-5929-b1d0-087a648d1172].
