Product Description
For students:
Do not buy this book unless your teacher
recommends it!
This book is not meant for
self-study. If you are not working with
a teacher, the better choice is my book called "Probably the Only Cello Scale
Book You Will Ever Need". It has all the
fingerings. It is available in regular
and large print editions.
For teachers:
If you have ever wanted a
scale book with no fingerings, and plenty of room to write on the page, you
have found it!
Many books are in circle of
fifths order, which I find less practical.
When students are working on F major, you must hunt for it way in the
back. This book is organized more in the
order that students will learn scales. Also,
there arent enough books with one octave scales, and students get confused if
they are supposed to stop in the middle and pick it back up near the end.
By having the arpeggios on the
same page as the scales, you can easily discuss the structure of chords as they
relate to scales.
This book is meant to be
easier to read and follow by omitting the theory and patterns such as broken
thirds often found in scale books. My
goal was simplicity, clarity, and completeness.
I included the circle of fifths in the back so that students can check
off the scales as they learn them.
