Our Teachers' Review
This comprehensive reference book is something every intermediate pianist should own. It contains every major and minor scale, arpeggio, chord, and cadence in a clear, well-organized format that serves as both a learning tool and a lifelong reference.
Knowing your scales and arpeggios isn't just about technique — it's about understanding the language of music. When you can play all twelve major scales and their relative minors fluently, you start recognizing these patterns in everything you play. New pieces become easier to learn because you can identify familiar scale passages and chord shapes at sight.
Our teachers assign specific scales each week, building systematically until students have mastered all keys. The cadence exercises (I-IV-I-V7-I progressions in every key) are particularly valuable for understanding harmonic movement and developing the ability to accompany other musicians.
This book stays on our students' music stands for years. It's the kind of reference you return to again and again, whether you're warming up, preparing for an audition, or learning a new piece in an unfamiliar key.
