These excellent all-inclusive books teach scales, chords, arpeggios, and cadences at three different levels. The FIRST book (#11761) accommodates the learning pace of younger students such as those in Alfred's Basic, Level 2. The BASIC book (#5754) is slightly more in-depth, presenting scales, chords, arpeggios, and cadence studies in all the major and minor keys. The COMPLETE book (#5743) features everything in the BASIC book, plus extra features like a 12-page explanation that leads to complete understanding of the fundamentals of major and minor scales, chords, arpeggios, and cadences; a clear explanation of scale degrees; and a two-page guide to fingering the scales and arpeggios
Scales, Chords, Arpeggios and Cadences: Complete Book Reviews
-
A practical book. The hardcopy is excellent. This is a fast book to flick through. Plenty of info at the front, lots of reference at the back."
My only complaint is that for some reason half the text on each page is in full caps and exclamation marks. I felt like I was being yelled at all the time.
It is called the 'subdominant' because it is the same distance BELOW the tonic as the dominant is ABOVE the tonic!
"The SUPERTONIC is always a WHOLE STEP above the tonic. You now know the names of all the scales degrees"
Although this did give it a very authentic experience, like having my own cranky teacher! -
Nice book for teaching music theory introduction.
Has all the fingering positions for practicing all of the major & minor scales. And some bits of information about triads & 7 chords
