Mel Bay's Best Scale Method for Any Instrument

This book provides the most efficient way to practice scales and the fastest path to mastery of one's instrument. The scale routine presented here is a vehicle for increasing tactile familiarity and improving facility, velocity and tone. Its very nature-namely its function outside of specific repertoire-allows one to focus on the technical things ideally relegated to one's subconscious when performing music in a real-world context. This book isn't an encyclopedia of scales: rather, a comprehensive way to practice scales (and for that matter, arpeggios, chords and patterns). It is suitable for all instruments.
