Instant Scale and Chord Guide for Keyboards

Average rating: Stars

good product

I recommend this to my music students all the time. It is very good. I also suggest "Voice Lessons To Go" by Vaccarino. It teaches you how to sing Major, Minor, chromatic scales etc... using solfedge. Very helpful for the singing inclined.

Instant Scale and Chord Guide for Keyboards -

It'll Do

This book has a thorough listing of piano chords presented in a manner that makes it easy enough to reproduce them on your own keyboard.

The problem is the physical layout of the book: all the C# chords are on one page, for example; the F# on another, the A on another, the Bm on another, etc etc etc.

For a beginner to use the book to help them learn a simple song, they have to either flip pages mid-tune, make photocopies to lay side by side, or memorize the different chords before playing. That's fine in the long term, but I know my kids would have more fun learning if they could get to the piano before the studying gets too dull.

Still, a good tool.

Excellent

Don't be fooled by the cover. This book should be given free with every keyboard. It has all the scales in easy format and the common chords. If you sit down for 3 hours a day for one month you can play almost any song from a fake book. Beware though, it has only major and minor scales. Don't expect to find Greek and Spanish scales. But for the price its great and compact too.
