“Add spcie to your scales!”
Major and minor scales and arpeggios are presented as long notes, in a two octave format and in nifty ascending and descending patterns, all of which will give you a great, if rather predictable, workout. The inclusion of modes, blues scales, pentatonics and whole tone scales is less familiar and lifts the book onto another level. All are initially presented in major and minor keys and in written in quavers which makes them much easier to learn and more likely to appeal to those who don't often venture from the well-trodden technical path. This is a different kind of scale book which will really add some spice to those finger exercises!
From the Publisher
This collection, designed to be thorough but by no means exhaustive, focuses on what is most common in the study of classical music: core major and minor scales, as well as chromatic, pentatonic, whole-tone and blues scales. Students will learn the construction of these scales while practicing unique patterns, enriching both their minds and technique.
As an added benefit, the exercises are presented in two ways: by scale pattern and by key. Teachers and students can organize practice time to focus on learning new scales, or to master all scales in a single key. This unique approach suits different technical levels and will help build solid fundamentals while introducing theoretical principles.
