Practising the chromatic scale

Sharps are used going up and flats coming down — the convention that keeps each step on a new letter wherever possible. Aim for perfectly even fingers: practise slurred in groups of four, then in triplets, with a metronome starting around ♩ = 60 and raising the tempo only when every note is clean.
