Let's take the song "Jingle Bells" for example. It is played in C major and contains only the first 5 notes of the scale (C-D-E-F-G), starting from the third note (E).

If we transpose the song to G major we will first find the first five notes of G major (G-A-B-C-D) and than try to find the song, starting from the third note (B).

by repeating the process on all major scales we will gradually gain a good grasp at the geography of the piano.

These piano scales will help you to understand the logic behind a piece you play, and give you tools to build piano chords and harmonize tunes by ear, and if you want to improvise you should use scales to play a solo to really impress your friends and fellow musicians.

In order to get the full potential of piano scales you should go through the Rocket Piano Ultimate Learning kit. With Rocket Piano you'll learn to use scales to improvise by learning about melody, harmony, chords, arpeggios, and how to play chord progressions in any key.
