Detail 01
Grimoire series format
Reference-style, chart-heavy layout rather than a lesson-by-lesson method. You look things up, not work through it.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need to read music to use this?
Basic note reading helps considerably. The material is organized around scales, chords and note relationships, so some prior grounding in theory makes it far more usable.
02Is this a beginner keyboard method?
No. It is a theory reference covering scales, chords and progressions. A beginner wanting to learn to play should start with a graded method book instead.
03Is it useful if I only play guitar?
Yes. It is written for guitarists as well as keyboardists, and seeing theory on a keyboard layout often clarifies intervals that fretboard shapes obscure.
04Does it come with audio or downloads?
No. It is a printed book only, with no audio tracks, backing tracks or online component.
