Scales Bootcamp: The fastest, clearest way to get to know your scales, and then master them.

The left and right hands are on opposing pages of the book, so in terms of field of view totally useless. This makes the book more difficult to learn from physically.You still need memory and same effort to play the keys and scales themselves.However it does help to identify the fingering more clearly than traditional score approaches. However, the book presents another constraint as it doesn't show any score notation, so useless here too.Lastly, it is way too expensive for the poor quality print and above shortcomings.

This book is fantastic if you want some guidance on scales in visual form. Can be used for all piano grades. The hands are on separate pages into left and right (though would be better if they were on the same page so you could see both hands together). There’s also sections to practice rhythm with funny word games. As a teacher this book helps make scales a little more interesting for the kids and adults alike with “levels” that can be ticked off as they go. Overall a great book but could have been refined to be even better in its edit. Definitely a new staple to my shelf though so was worth buying :)

Bought for a musical teaching friend, she’s happ with it!
