Book 2 of the Piano Teacher series
· Over 130 reader reviews

Most players learn their scales and stop there. Then they sit down to play something real, and nothing connects.

This is the book that connects it.

Piano Scales Chords takes you through every harmonic and melodic minor scale, then into the cadence patterns underneath them — the chord movements that make a piece of music sound finished instead of simply stopping.

And like every book in this series, it is spiral-bound. It opens completely flat on a music stand and stays there.
Both hands free.

WHAT YOU GET

HARMONIC MINOR SCALES — all fifteen keys

Every scale written on the staff, with finger numbers and a keyboard diagram showing exactly where each note sits.


MELODIC MINOR SCALES — all fifteen keys

The same layout, so once you know how to read one page, you can read them all.


CADENCE PATTERNS — the heart of this book

Three cadence patterns for every major and minor key, written out chord by chord, with the finger numbers and the keyboard position for each. Perfect, plagal, and interrupted cadences, explained in plain language before you play a note.

ARPEGGIOS IN MAJOR KEYS

Block chords broken into arpeggios, following the Circle of Fifths.

Throughout: red for the left hand, blue for the right. You always know which hand plays what.

WHY THE CADENCES MATTER

A cadence is the moment a phrase lands.
It is what makes an ending sound like an ending.
Once you have three of them under your fingers in every key, you stop guessing at chord changes and start hearing where the music wants to go.

Most scale books skip this entirely.
It takes up a third of this one.

PRINTED THE WAY A PRACTICE BOOK
SHOULD BE

Full color throughout, with a keyboard diagram under every scale and every cadence. Printed on heavy, bright paper that takes a pencil mark and survives a year of daily use. The covers are 110 lb card, front and back, each protected by a clear laminate sheet.

This spiral edition is made in small runs and is not sold in bookstores.

WHO IT IS FOR

Players who have the major and minor scales under their fingers and want to understand the harmony behind them. Book 1 is not required — this book stands on its own — but the two work well side by side.

No theory background needed. Every term is explained the first time it appears.

WHERE TO START

Take one key. Play the harmonic minor scale, then the three cadence patterns that belong to it. When that feels easy, move to the next key on the Circle of Fifths.
A few minutes a day is enough.
