Scales and Pieces in All Keys - Book One

by John W. Schaum

Scales and Pieces in All Keys features valuable writing exercises and easy pieces in all keys allowing teachers to introduce scales early in the second year of study. By pairing the scales with easy repertoire in mostly stationary positions, the student not only gains valuable experience in executing ascending and descending scales but they are able to perform pieces and demonstrate an ability to read music in all the major and minor keys. Pieces include folk tune favorites and classical repertoire by Strauss, Schubert, Brahms, Schumann, Beethoven, Liszt, and more.
