Can you practice only certain scales in PianoGlow?
You can practice scales and arpeggios. A Steam post on 17 Jul 2026 added a Scales and Arpeggios mode and said it shows common fingerings. Locking the whole game so only one key, such as C major, can be played is a different claim, and no official step-by-step says that.
What the posts actually added
The 17 Jul 2026 wording is specific: you can train scales and arpeggios, and the mode shows suggested fingerings that are fairly standard. On 25 Aug 2026 a follow-up added blues and pentatonic scales to that same mode, which means the mode contains more than one scale family. On 9 Nov 2026 another post added an interactive tour for scales and arpeggios, next to tours for rhythm and QWERTY typing. The Steam store description lists scales and arpeggios among the training modes. That is two Steam surfaces saying the mode exists.
A Steam discussion recommends using the mode to practice C major and arpeggios. I am treating that as one community suggestion, not as a setting I can point at.

A practice order that is a suggestion, not a menu path
Because the official text stops at “the mode exists,” the order below is a practice habit, not a list of buttons. If a control is missing, it is missing. Do not hunt for a hidden lock.
- Open Scales and Arpeggios from the training list.
- Pick a family you can name from the posts: major, or the blues and pentatonic sets added in August.
- Read the suggested fingering and play it slowly on a MIDI keyboard or on computer keys.
- Use the 9 Nov tour if it is still in the build you have.
- If you wanted only the notes of one key inside a song, switch to Falling Notes or Sheet and load a piece in that key instead.

Questions
Can PianoGlow be set so I only play certain scales?
The mode trains scales, including blues and pentatonic. A lock that blocks every other key is not described.
Does the German question have a German page?
Yes. The same answer is written in German at the Tonleitern page, because the original query was a German sentence.
