I only started to learn the piano a year ago. My teacher has been teaching me scales. They are easy until she asked me to play C major two octaves with both hands wow its very hard because the two hands do not play the same notes. I have been trying all evening and keep getting it wrong. If I play the right hand and left hand by themselves they are very easy. I cannot think why I have been asked to do this because for Grade 1 you do scales with seprate hands

Help

I would maybe just work one handed scales for now. I didn't start til probably grade 3 and then it was easy for me. But its the same notes in both hands if you have the fingerings down without looking at them it should be alright.

Start VERY VERY SLOWLY

I started in grade 2, it wasn't too too hard.

But always go slow, possibly writing it out on a staff with 2 hands could help if your hands get lost?

2 octave scales aren that hard to do they ususally follow the same fingering for each scale only on the F scale you last note ends on the 4th finger but from the assosiated board of the royal school of music the suggested fingering is not abiligoatory andy practical systamatic fingering with produces a good result will be accepted as long as there is good legato, even finers,firm tone and a musical curve are the essential features for playing scales and arpeggios well.

major scale is easy once learned wait til ya go into the flat major's minor's and chromatic, melodic sales and major scales in thirds chromatic scale in minors thirds now thes take a while to learn.

All the best with your learning

oh i forgot Scale of B has different fingering too it starts on he 2nd finger four left hand

Why do the right and left hands use different fingerings? Hold your hands in front of your eyes and the reason should be obvious: They're mirror images of one another. Your left-hand thumb is on the right side of your left hand, and your right-hand thumb is on the left side of your right hand. It follows that the left hand descending should use the same fingering as the right hand ascending and, conversely, the right hand descending should use the same fingering as the left hand ascending.

So as a practical matter, before practicing scales in parallel motion, you should practice them in contrary motion. Once you get good at contrary motion--but not before--you should practice parallel motion. Got it? (If not, let me know.)

all two or more octave scales are just repeats of the one octave scale. i suggest once you learn one octave together VERy slowly, then just get the turning 3/4 correct, and then you just repeat it.
