This review is from: The Complete Book of Scales, Chords, Arpeggios
and Cadences: Includes All the Major, Minor (Natural, Harmonic,
Melodic) & Chromatic Scales - Plus Additional Instructions on Music
Fundamentals (Paperback)
Alfred's Books have always been some of the best learning materials
available. This book is no different. The book has all the scales
every student should master as well as some informative information
regarding music fundamentals. The book is of high quality with bright
big text and is very easy on the eyes. They used quality paper and ink
for this book. The paper stock is thick and sturdy so it can stand up
to some abuse. The one thing I wish was included was a spiral binding.
Once you get into these types of books, it becomes difficult to lay
flat on the piano desk without the pages closing. Minor gripe, you can
take it to Fedex office to get it binded for around $6 if it becomes
too bothersome to you.
