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.
