- Students told by a teacher to work scales systematically

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
Reference book, not a method
It gives you the scales to play. It doesn't teach fingering technique, tone or reading from zero.
Detail 03
Print only, no media
Nothing to install or play back. It opens on a stand and stays there through a practice session.
Detail 04
Around $11
Cheap enough to keep a copy in the case and another on the music stand at home.
Detail 05
Thin scale book
Sits flat on a stand more easily than a thick method book, which matters during timed warm-ups.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What's actually in this book?
Diatonic major and minor scales written out across keys. It's a drill and reference book you work through rather than a course with lessons.
02Is this enough to learn from on its own?
No. It supplies the scales but not the instruction. Use it alongside a method book or lessons that cover technique and tone.
03Why is it so inexpensive?
It's a thin printed scale reference with no disc, no download and no lesson content. You're paying for the pages, not a course.
04Do I need to read music?
Yes. It's presented as printed music, so you should be comfortable reading notation before it's useful to you.
