The scale training exercise complete book, supervised by Yoshiko Kurokawa. This is a revolutionary collection of all-key scale exercises designed to help both aspiring and practicing pianists practice essential scales efficiently. The major and minor (harmonic and melodic minor) scales in the 12 keys are an important part of the practice for learning tonality and training the muscles and joints of the hand. The human hand is flexible, and the thumb and other fingers bend in different directions, making it easy to turn and play a wide range of notes. However, it is important to learn scales from an early age because the correct playing style is required, such as knowing how to turn the fingers when playing speed is faster, the position of the black keys and white keys, and how to use the wrist. To play scales smoothly with all five fingers (one hand), the turn of the first finger is significant. It is advisable to practice scales from an early age to improve the turns. The fingering of the scale changes depending on the key. It takes a lot of time to learn them because fingering is different for the right hand and the left hand as well. Also, although the scale is written in two-fourths time, if you are not used to it, you may end up playing one octave at a time. Various exercises are described in this book to help you solve these problems. It takes a lot of time to play scales well by nature, but that is why it is important to practice efficiently.

This method of instrumental practice is aimed at all those who, at any age, wish to learn to play the treble recorder, through the reading of music. During the course, step by step, the various chapters introduce the fingering for the recorder, together with the understanding of the musical symbols. The goal, at the end of the study course, is to be in a position to perform all the notes on the instrument and to be able to read music at a basic level, which is the first step in dealing with the specific technical studies and the music written for the instrument.Each chapter, through progressive exercises, introduces a new note and new topics of music theory, in order to achieve a gradual mastery of the fingering of the instrument. The progression suggested for learning the fingering begins with the use of the five fingers of the left hand, then to proceed to the use of the right hand. Each topic is then examined closely by studying pieces from the traditional, Renaissance, Baroque and Classical repertoires. The scales are also introduced gradually, aiming to help the student master the fingering of the scales up to three sharps and three flats and relative minor scales. The progressive difficulty found in the course of the method is measured according to the experience gained from teaching students of different ages, and can be varied and adapted to the needs of each student. The workbook at the start of each chapter can be condensed, expanded or developed in relation to different learning abilities.
