Scales Made Easy - Piano - Taylor/Tumiel-Kozak

Scales Made Easy is a unique system of scale study for beginning piano students of all ages, for more advanced students who have failed to master scales by the traditional method and for instrumentalists and vocalists who need to familiarize themselves with the keyboard. It is equally effective for the self-taught and for those being instructed by either the traditional or the Suzuki method. Suzuki students should confine their study of these scales to the numbered patterns until their teacher introduces them to traditional musical notation.

This system places emphasis on understanding the derivation and relationships of scales and correct fingering. The natural minor is introduced as the essential ling between major and minor keys. Basic relationships must be grasped if the student is to comprehend scale construction.
