The Only Cello Scale Book You Will Ever Need - Large Print Edition: Large Print Edition - Paperback

by Sheryl Smith (Author)

New large print edition (Regular edition is also available on Amazon.) Probably the only scale book you will ever need Contains all 24 major and melodic minor scales AND arpeggios. Each scale and arpeggio has complete fingerings for one, two, and three octaves. It is very hard to find books that have one, two, and three octaves scales shown separately Also includes some suggested bowing patterns, which are shown at the bottom of the page. Many books are in circle of fifths order, which is less practical. When students are working on F major, an easy scale, you must hunt for it way in the back. This book is organized in the order that most students will learn scales. The order (major scales) is C, G, F, D, Bb, etc. Each page has all of the scales and arpeggios for that key. This can start conversations about future playing: here's where you will be someday By having the arpeggios on the same page as the scales, you can easily see the structure of chords as they relate to scales. It is helpful to show 1, 2, and 3 octave scales separately, but hard to find. Students can get confused if they are learning a one octave scale while seeing a two octave scale on the page. It is often hard for them to stop in the middle and pick it back up near the end.This book is meant to be easy to read and follow. The scales are not obscured with bowings or theory notations. The goal is simplicity, clarity, and completeness.
