Scales for Keyboard Percussion

Accompaniment - []

This unique method makes learning scales easy and develops musical creativity at the same time. While other instrumentalists learn fingerings, percussionists learn scale shapes to understand scale construction and to visualize their physical shape. With this highly organized and systematic approach, students will become scale-proficient in no time as they learn 60 scales in Section One and 120 scales in Section Two. That’s 180 scales used in classical, jazz, bebop, Latin, rock, and pop music!_x000D_ _x000D_ With this edition, students will learn:_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Major scales using scale shapes_x000D_ Tetrachords using whole steps and half steps_x000D_ Chromatic scale_x000D_ Whole tone scale_x000D_ Pentatonic scale_x000D_ Melodic minor scale_x000D_ Natural minor scale_x000D_ Harmonic minor scale_x000D_ Blues scale_x000D_ Dominant 7 scale_x000D_ Dominant bebop 7 scale_x000D_ Major bebop scale_x000D_ Minor bebop scale_x000D_ Diminished scale_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_  _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ While many texts introduce scales, few are organized in a way that reflects teaching philosophy so clearly. Randy Eyles and Meredith Music Publications have developed a short text that is fun, focused, and an incredible resource for educators, especially those looking to introduce scales in one-on-one or group settings. . . . Congrats to Randy Eyles for this unique and interesting approach to learning and practicing scales._x000D_ _x000D_ —Quintin Mallette_x000D_     Percussive Notes, February 2026_x000D_
