This text helps students to “jump-start” playing major and minor scales (all three forms). Rather than rely on students only reading notated scales, each core page also shows scale fingering placed directly on the keys of a keyboard. The result? Uncomplicated and efficient learning! Ideal for older beginners and teaching approaches less focused on reading. The key signatures of each scale in treble and bass clefs are also included. Gaining the all-important skill of playing scales has never been easier. Perfect for achieving college piano-proficiency requirements.
