Making music is all about patterns. 24 Keys is designed to help you learn the unique fingering pattern that makes up each key quickly and easily through learning scales and arpeggios, and through practice exercises. It provides a unique visual guide to learning the position of the fingers in each key, so that you can make each second of practice count. We never sacrifice traditional notation. Each Scale and Arpeggio page in the book includes the traditional notation for each scale and arpeggio on the left, with our unique 'Grid' complementing it on the right. The correct fingering to use is shown in both traditional notation, and on 'The Grid'. Bowing is indicated as usual in traditional notation. Our specially written Exercises concentrate on cementing intonation, and are a fun way to solidify Scales and Arpeggios. Some of our Exercises are traditional 'Solo' exercises, some are written as duets for student and teacher, or student and student.
