Mastering the Scales and Arpeggios By James Francis Cooke. Instructional book for piano. A complete and practical system for studying the scales and arpeggios from the most elementary steps to the highest attainable degree of velocity and artistic perfection.. 82 pages. Published by Theodore Presser Company. (PR.410400170) See more info... |
While I don't claim to have mastered the
scales and arpeggios, this book did me a
lot of good. Not for the faint of heart...

One of my all-time favorite DVDs about
jazz. Art Tatum, Bud Powell, Lennie
Tristano, Bill Evans, Meade Lux Lewis, Fats
Waller and many more jazz pianists. What
more could you ask for?

A difficult book to describe. If I say it's about the
touchy-feely side of playing, or the "zen" of piano
playing it would probably put a lot of people off.
However I found it to be a good antidote when you've
had too much heavy duty technique time, and not
enough play time at the piano... Unfortunately out of
print, but good used copies are available.

I included links to products at SheetMusicPlus on my
site for one reason. I had the best, easiest, most
enjoyable web shopping experience I have ever had at
their site. If you need any music, please click the link
above and give them a try...
