Scales for Piano and Keyboard

No more trouble with whole- and half-time calculations, no more bother with scale transpositions and thumb-under passages either. This coursebook provides 2-octave keyboard diagrams for every existing scale (be it major, minor pentatonic, blues, melodic minor, harmonic minor or natural minor) and, what's more, for every existing key - specified for each hand separately. It also provides sample chords over which these scales (solos, improvisations or melodies) may be played and brief instructions for their use. The DVD attached to the coursebook makes learning even easier. It shows you all the scales in every key and additionally offers a simultaneous animation on a virtual Piano keyboard. The above-average backing tracks on the CD give you the opportunity to put the newly-learned scales into practice - in every key and in every musical style(!)
