SCALES, CHORD & ARPEG@IOS BY JAMES BASTIEN PREFACE ‘This book provides all the major, harmonic and melodic minor scales, arpeggios, and cadence patterns using root position and inversions, These materials may be used for study and for auditions such as those sponsored by the National Guild of Pizno Teachers. When the scales, chords, and arpeggios are practiced regularly, the student's facility at the keyboard will improve. The relative major and minor scales are on facing pages for easy reference. The melodic minor scales begin on page 34. ‘These scales may be used for systematic study beginning as early as Level 2 of Bastien Piano Basics and continuing through Level 4. This book may also be used with any other ‘piano method at similar levels. ‘We offer you our best wishes for success with Scales, Chords and Arpeggios. Neil A.
