Not Just Another Scale Book

Not Just Another Scale Book is simply that-not just another book of scales and pieces. Hidden within each of the 10 innovative intermediate piano solos in this collection are scales-sometimes ascending, sometimes descending-in one or both hands. The scales used in the pieces are introduced with fingerings, and excerpts from the pieces are used in sight-reading examples. What makes this book truly different, however, is the accompanying compact disc that features wonderfully orchestrated background tracks recorded at two different tempos that can be used for practice and performance.
