AlfredScales Chords Arpeggios & Cadences - Complete Book Complete Book
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Piano technique reference covering scales, chords, arpeggios and cadences in one volume. For students past basic note reading who need daily warm-up material.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Daily warm-ups once you can read in several keys
- Students preparing for a jury, exam or audition
- Pianists filling gaps in less familiar keys
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Absolute beginners still learning note names
- Anyone wanting songs — there is no repertoire here
- Players who need written explanations more than drills
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Cadences included
You get chord progressions, not just single-note running patterns, so harmony practice comes with the technique.
Detail 03
Arpeggios alongside scales
Covers hand extension and position shifts, which scales alone never train.
Detail 04
Reference format, not a method
No lesson sequence. You or a teacher decide the order and pace.
Detail 05
$13.49
Cheaper than assembling the separate graded technique books and it stays useful for years.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No repertoire, no lesson text — pair it with a method or pieces
- 02You need to read notes fluently before this is usable
- 03Thick reference books can fight the music desk; a clip helps
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a beginner book?
Not for a first-day beginner. You need to read notes and find your way around the keyboard before the drills make sense.
02Do I need a teacher for this?
Not strictly, but a teacher will set fingering, tempo and which keys to work on. Without one, progress slowly and evenly.
03How is this different from the graded technique books?
Same material, bound as one volume instead of separate levels, so you buy once and keep working through it.
04Does it include songs?
No. It is scales, chords, arpeggios and cadences only. You'll want a repertoire book alongside it.
