PianoForte Minor Scales
PianoForte Minor Scales introduces all the minor scales as ‘La’ based minor, with each minor scale related to a major scale. It is an interactive workbook to help students both learn and understand each minor scale.
Scales are approached from several angles to help students develop a deep understanding of the fundamentals of harmony. This includes the Circle of 5ths, building scales (using intervals and solfa syllables), piano fingering, scale spelling and music analysis.
Throughout this method, scales are used to help students develop a rich understanding of how music functions, both harmonically and melodically.
Solfa syllables, intervals and Curwen hand signs. Scale lessons are woven into material students already understand from the PianoForte method books.
Circle of Fifths and scale grids. Worksheet pages for students to use as they progress through each scale.
Each minor key is presented individually as its own lesson. These lessons include notation, fingering charts, scale spelling, key signature study and a musical score that demonstrates the tonality as music. The approach is thorough both conceptually and musically.
Students develop a deep understanding of minor tonality throughout this book. They study each key in depth, making a connection between each major and minor scale.
