You're about to discover how to learn and speed up your scales from scratch, the easy way. A lot of beginners simply practice their scales over and over, without realizing that's the slow way of learning. This book has all the specific strategies and tactics to practice more efficiently and get your scales up to speed fast. Want proof? Here's a video of me playing all 12 major scales: http: //youtu.be/Ow6BacGiKwQ I used this exact method to get my scales fast and smooth. How does this work? Think back to school when you had to learn a long list of vocabulary words. The first time you learned them, you probably just repeated them over and over and over, and it took forever. Then eventually you figured out strategies to learn them faster. You used flashcards, or acronyms, or flowcharts, and you realized words that used to take you 4 hours to learn you could learn in 15 minutes! It's the same way with piano! If you have the right strategies, you can learn scales realllllly fast and: -Captivate Audiences -Boost Your Technique -Surprise Your Teacher -Feel "At Home" On The Keyboard There are also physical techniques that help you play faster. For example, the thumb-under section of the scale causes problems for a lot of people. The Quick-Thumb strategy in this book is specifically designed to overcome this problem. We'll also go over correct form, using the Over-Under wrist motion. If you aren't already using the Over-Under motion, you'll see immediate results in not only your scales but everything else you play. You'll become a "Piano Superhuman" and: -Cut Down Your Practice Time -Or... Practice More And 2x Your Results -Master The Tricky "Thumb Under" Move -Memorize Scales - Fast -Eliminate the "Stuck" Feeling This book will give you a simple, step-by-step training plan on exactly what to do every day to learn your scales. You'll start out with specific exercises in Phase 1, then move onto intermediate exercises in Phase 2, then finally advanced exercises in Phase 3. These phases give you a complete progression on how to learn piano scales fast, without frustration and anxiety. Why should you learn from me? I do have a degree in Music from the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. I don't think that's a good reason to learn from me. The only true test of a musician is how well they can play.

Download or read book Guitar Hacks written by Graham Tippett and published by Graham Tippett. This book was released on 2017-04-16 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 3NPS (three-note-per-string) scales, as used by legions of guitarists but popularized mainly by Joe Satriani, are one of the most efficient ways to navigate the fretboard and get your scales down IF you follow the guidelines in this book. As the name suggests, a 3NPS scale is any scale that contains three notes on each string, and as you'll see in this eBook, this makes for a very consistent way to map out scales on the guitar fretboard. What we’ve done here is revamped the 3NPS scale system and turned it into an incredibly effective means to learn a wide variety of scales all over the fretboard by streamlining the number of patterns, as well as the picking system. This is not a scale theory book, and contains no pentatonic scales. This is a quick and dirty (and very effective) method for learning 3NPS scales all over the fretboard; something to work on in the woodshed. It will improve your picking technique and speed. It does not require a great amount of thinking as you only need to learn two picking patterns, which is really one in two directions, and only three scale patterns instead of the usual seven per scale.

Download or read book CelloMind written by Hans Jørgen Jensen and published by Ovation Press, Ltd.. This book was released on 2017-11-03 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CelloMind is a two-part pedagogical method book that focuses on intonation and left-hand cello technique. The coauthors of the book are Hans Jørgen Jensen, Professor of cello at the Bienen School of Music at Northwestern University and Minna Rose Chung, Associate Professor of Cello at the Desautels Faculty of Music at the University of Manitoba. Part I: Intonation. The mystery of intonation is revealed by defining and explaining the scientific principles that govern it. To know and understand how to combine the three primary intonation systems has never before been expounded in a methodology publication--and for good reason. Playing with exquisite intonation has mostly been reserved for those who possess a strong intuitive sense; however, CelloMind breaks down this taboo using a systematic approach with a highly attuned manner. The three systems of intonation that string players most commonly use today--equal temperament, just intonation, and Pythagorean tuning--are each explored and explained in great detail. All chapters in the book include many practical samples and listening exercises that bridge the gap between the theory and its application. The chapters on intonation conclude with practical examples from the following repertoire: "Intonation Performance Practice in the Bach Solo Cello Suites" and "Intonation Performance Practice with Piano." Part II: Left-Hand Technique. The left-hand technique chapters in this section complement the study of intonation by providing a solid foundation of skills for essential cello playing. The topics and exercises have been selected to cover a wide range of technical skills that include playing with a light left-hand touch, speed, coordination, balanced vibrato, agility, finger independence, and efficient shifting. Original exercises developed for students over many years have also been incorporated into these chapters, as well as studies from Julius Klengel, Bernhard Cossmann, Louis R. Feuillard, Jean-Louis Duport, Yakov Rosenthal, and Fritz Albert Christian Rudinger.
