Now that we understand where the scale actually starts, we will begin to understand what the E flat major scale consists of. The E flat is the black key on the left side of the set of 2 black keys. As the name suggests the E flat major scale starts on its tonic (its namesake, first note), the E flat. The E flat major scale, that being said, provides wonderful didactic and pleasurable aspects that any piano player can benefit from. This could vary, of course, depending on how quickly a student progresses and the type of curriculum the piano instructor chooses to follow. The E flat major scale is a scale typically introduced within the first or second year of learning piano.
