Pictorial Patterns is a unique book which allows pianists to learn scales by understanding keyboard geography rather than relying on notation.

Through being able to view hand shapes on the keyboard patterns the fingering for scales is simplified and mirror fingerings can be seen. Equally useful for students of classical or modern piano, and for improvisors, it shows both similar and contrary motion patterns and all major and minor chord shapes.

In three sections:

• 1) Early Level - all Major scales in similar and contrary motion. Major Chord shapes
• 2) Intermediate to Advanced - All major and minor scale patterns and their derived modes, and minor chord shapes. Harmonic minor scales in contrary motion.
• 3) A Unique Scale and Chord Practice Planner including four note chords, chord resolutions plus connected scales and chords.
