I took piano lessons as a child, but C major was the only scale I learned. After I saw the advantages of practicing scales as my daughter took lessons, I really wanted to practice scales. But, I had no idea how to learn the right notes or fingering. First, I boughtThe Complete Book of Scales, Chords, Arpeggios and Cadencesin the same series. The amount of information was too overwhelming. Next, I tried theThe First Book of Scales, Chords, Arpeggios & Cadences (Alfred’s Basic Piano Library). It’s perfect. The book description says it’s for children, but it’s good for adults as well. There’s nothing I’d change about this book. Thank God I found it.
