Designed as a companion scale book for all levels of the Contemporary Piano Method. Pictorial Patterns is a unique book which allows pianists tolearn scales by understanding keyboard geography rather than relying on notation. Through being able to view hand shapes on the keyboard patter ns 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.
