The Complete Book of Scales, Chords, Arpeggios: & Cadences

This is such a helpful book for me as an adult learner

Love the exercises that are there on the book

I have an AS in music and played fir years, based mostly on jazz theory, as they called theory in my fabulous college 50 years aho. If you're a site reader, this book's perfect. I was hoping it would be like basic books that had illustrations and notes instead of music notation. So I guess I can't practice with it until I can read after 35 years. But it looks fabulous. Great info.

perfeito, a qualidade da empressao é muito boa

*Self learners and intimidated beginners, This book is for you! I can't bear to take away a star for the damaged spine, that is how wonderful this book is. - I'm your average child piano lessons quitter, now regretfully nostalgic and determined adult learner💪🏽. I didn't absorb enough theory back then, to actually know the piano. I knew just enough to memorize and play average pop sheet music. Easier standard classicals etc. Unless I use a chord dictionary, I know zero chords except Cmajor, zero scales except Cmajor, nothing about key signatures, let's not even talk about rest counts, note beats, etc. Basically any little foundation I had, has been long forgotten, BUT, it's never too late to learn as long as you're healthy enough and breathing, and this is a phenomenal book to start with. PROS:1. It's big with a remarkably visually appealing layout to making studying and memorization easier and more welcoming. The voice/tone of the book is warm and not overly formal or stiff like others I've tried.2. Placed on the inside of the cover page, where it can be easily referenced, is a large sized, very detailed explanation of the Circle of 5ths. I have been trying to understand it's concepts for years with no success, but I took one quick glance over this one, and boom! I finally understood it. This is HUGE for me. 💃🏽3. Explanation paragraphs are greatly detailed precise and super easy to understand, as you can see in the pictures4. The diagrams are big and fantastic. With arrows pointing things out to ensure clarity.5. Things aren't squished together, which, I've found, often make studying musical concepts or reading music itself seem much much harder, and burdensome, than it really is.CONS: the only con may be one of the things that makes this book great - the "oversizeness" of it all. It is a "music book" size book. For adult studiers, this is not your pocket sized travel study companion. This one will tag along in your large(er) tote or a knapsack or good sized man bag.+ I finally found a book I'll actually enjoy studying, that will keep my struggles and confusions to a minimum. I believe you'll feel the same. Worth every single penny. I will be using this book until it's ragged. Buy it and enjoy your piano learning journey.

Every piano enthusiast must have this book for practicing scales, chords and apreggios. Very illustrative.

Für Anfänger sehr empfehlenswerter Überblick und gutes Nachschlagewerk beim Lernen der Tonleitern, Akkorde und Akkordbrechungen auf dem Klavier, die Erläuterungstexte sind "in English".
