There's a really great scales book out there: The Complete Book of Scales, Chords, Arpeggios & Cadences. It has lots of exercises and scales to do. A good thing to note is that when folks say "doing their scales" they don't just mean actual scales ( G A B C D E F# G) they also mean Arpeggios and other exercises all of which people practice for technique.

u/OnaZ · 14 pointsr/piano

Came here to downvote any comments mentioning Hanon. So far we don't have any!

Back on topic: Everybody needs a good scale book. I use Scales, Chords, Arpeggios and Cadences, but there are many like it.

u/gosh_jolden · 13 pointsr/piano

You'll hear "Get a teacher." on this sub a lot. This is great advice, but not always possible. That being said, check the FAQs for some really great resources for sheet music, online learning tools, and general tips and tricks.

I'd recommend getting a method book, such as Alfred's, a classical composer's 'beginner's' collections or notebooks, such as Bartok's Mikrokosmos or First Lessons in Bach, and then grab a book of scales such as this.

For future reference, if you do get a chance, please get a teacher, especially if you can swing it sometime in your first year, even if just for a few months. They can help prevent poor technique that may come up and can save time in the long run.

Edit: For poor hyperlinking on mobile.

u/Yeargdribble · 13 pointsr/piano

You need to be almost more careful as an experienced musician transitioning to piano. It seems virtually everyone in your case, no matter how much or how little prior knowledge, seems to greatly over-estimate their abilities and wants to jump ahead. It's really easy to think you know something and try to skip it, but while you might understand it in relation to the harp, actually applying things like reading skills to piano is not the same thing. Yes, you might be able to read notes, rhythms, chords, etc., but that doesn't mean you actually play them in time on an instrument that is physically different. You don't automatically know where your hands go without looking at them.

You'll be tempted to jump into music that is beyond you that you feel like is more appropriate to your level of background, but that you really aren't technically prepared for and will likely end up wasting a lot of time beating your head against the wall in ultra-inefficient practice on rep that is too hard. At worst, you'll end up creating more tension than you should and creating bad habits as a result.

Take nothing for granted. Check your ego at the door and actually work through any book you have. Don't just glance and say, "Pfft, that looks easy." Put your fingers on the keys and see if you really can just sightread even the simplest tunes without mistakes. Sure, if you can breeze through the beginner books nearly mistake free without breaking a sweat, then maybe there is somewhere else to move on to, but those books are full of fundamental building blocks that you may not even realize you're skipping.

I'm speaking from experience for having made these types of missteps and I did so with significantly more musical background that you have now. I used to work through books and "yada yada yada" through sections that I felt were retreading ground I was already familiar with, but I've now realized it was a mistake. Sometimes going back to those bits I assumed I know and forcing myself to actually play through them really showed me something. Heck, even after nearly 25 years of playing trumpet, I'll sometimes still run into useful bits of information because I decided not to just skip over a bit of discussion on fundamental things I feel like I know enough about. On piano I'm still finding tons of deficits that are result of me not slowing down early on. Going back and trudging through things I felt were too easy was a key ingredient in getting my sightreading from a pathetic level to slowly increasing competence. This is what it takes to turn you into a functional pianist, and not just someone who can rote memorize 2 or 3 difficult pieces at a time to show off with.

So at worst you'll spend a few extra minutes breezing through something you already know. At best, you'll discover that you don't actually know something and will be able to work through it and prevent problems down the road.

So with that lecture out of the way, here are some books I'd recommend:

Alfred's Adult All-In-One - It's still going to start basic, but will move a bit quicker and won't have all of the colorful cartoon pictures of a children's book. The whole series is pretty good.

Progressive Sightreading Exercises - This is the book that after years of playing I wished I'd picked up sooner. It seems almost offensively easy, but I underestimated how valuable these simple sightreading exercises could be. Some sightreading should be part of your every day work. If there's ever a day when you're busy and can't do everything you want to do, don't skip sightreading. It's the skill that takes the most time to cultivate, especially for a an experienced musician. You might be able to blaze through your major scales in a few days or weeks with some musical background, but sightreading is a skill you can't cram in through sheer force of will and technical blunt force.

Scales, Chords, Arpeggios, & Cadences - This one is fantastic for all of the basic technical competency. It's far from exhaustive, but it's got more than a lot of similar books. I'd recommend same motion scales, major/minor arpeggios and cadences in every key as priority before moving on to 7th arpeggios or scale variations.

u/HikiNEET39 · 9 pointsr/piano

This one is my favorite. It has 2 pages dedicated to each key signature. The page will include a parallel motion scale, opposing motion, 6th interval scale, 3rd interval, cadences, arpeggios at the root position, arpeggios in first inversion, arpeggios in 2nd inversion, major 7th chords in root, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd inversions, and it goes over every chord that's within that key signature.


Then the pages for minor keys have the same thing, but they replace the 6th and 3rd interval parallel motion scales with the harmonic and melodic scales.


I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a book on scales.

You will find more recommendations in the FAQ on the Sidebar, but a short version would be that most people recommend getting a teacher if in any way possible. If not:

  • Use method books like the Alfred's Adult Basic Piano (here's a link to Book 1 on Amazon).
  • Use the exercises on musictheory.net to learn how to read music and identify note positions on the keyboard.
  • Start working on basic major scales, hands together in parallel motion. (Link to a good resource).
  • For practice, you want an 88-key, fully-weighted keyboard if you do not have an acoustic piano. Specific model recommendations in the FAQ.
  • Some people around here recommend Hanon exercises to self-taught folks. I suggest not doing it without a teacher, as bad technique with those exercises can cause bad habits at best and injury at worst.

    Comments on general technique:

  • Fingers should be slightly bent, you want to strike keys with your fingertips. Don't lay them flat (people do this a lot with their pinkies).
  • Relax, relax, relax. Make sure your shoulders are down and not tense. Your wrist movement should be smooth.
  • Never push through pain. My professor says that pain is almost always because of errors in technique, and if you feel any pain you should stop and find that error so you can correct it. If you don't, you can cause permanent injury. Of course, there are a few exceptions and sometimes you will feel a light bit from muscle exhaustion if you're new. But never anything severe.

    If you have any questions, you can always ask us here. Cheers!

If you’re new to music in general this book is awesome. even for adults.

This one is another good resource for scales and chords.

Scales, Chords, Arpeggios and Cadences: Complete Book (Alfred's Basic Piano Library)

u/EntropyOrSloth · 4 pointsr/piano

As a classical musician already, I suspect this would be a good place to start, for you more so than for non-musician beginners like me. I read a lot of recommendations for this book so I got it.

u/andrewGT3000 · 3 pointsr/piano

It doesn't really sound like you want a theory book, but rather a book to help you identify and practice scales, chords, etc. For that, you might want to check out this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0739003682/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It has a twenty page intro explaining some theory and then goes on to list all of the major/major scales, arpeggios, etc., in an easy to practice format.

u/Ouchider · 3 pointsr/piano

The book "Scales, Chords, Arpeggios and Cadences: Complete Book" gets posted here a lot. Does the book contain some information not easily available somewhere else, or is its major selling point only having everything printed in a nice format? I don't see the value of having e.g. C major scale with fingerings printed out, compared to simply having "RH 1231234, LH 1432132" written on a paper/tablet screen/whatever.

u/PowErBuTt01 · 3 pointsr/piano

This book has helped me out tremendously and I recommend that everyone should have it.

u/Marsh_Wiggle86 · 3 pointsr/IWantToLearn

Piano is actually very easy. You just need to pick up the fundamentals to a functional level. Alot of the rest can be picked up if you have a decent ear. Much like anything there's a learning curve. You dedicate yourself to slog through the initial frustration of the curve and the rest comes pretty easy.

Pick up this book and work through it:

u/Kuebic · 2 pointsr/piano

This is the main reason why scales, arpeggios, and cadences are part of daily warm-up repertoire, so when they come up in songs, all that practice carries over effortlessly. This is the book I used for years.

It is an issue with Synthesia videos in that it's hard to determine what fingers would work. Are you able to read sheet music? I'll try making a quick video for the fingers I will use for that song after work.

Edit: Also, with that many notes in the low register, less pedal is better if any, as they resonate quite a bit anyway. Also, try to play the bass notes as quietly as possible, as they stack up, they are not the main melody, and serve the undertone ambiance role.

u/avatar_aang_ · 2 pointsr/piano

This book has all the scales in it, with fingerings. Fairly easy to print that information out yourself but if you don't have access to a printer or want a bound copy, it might be worth getting: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0739003682/

This one has a variety of classical pieces. They're all pretty easy arrangements, but unfortunately I don't think they're ordered by difficulty:

This book is the answer to your troubles.

u/Vetalurg · 2 pointsr/piano

I was in the same boat a couple of moths ago, went to musical school from ages 6-13, stopped when I moved to another country. Haven't touched piano for 6 years. Decided to get back into it, bought a digital piano 2 months ago.

For key signatures, I recommend practicing scales and arpeggios, acquiring this book can certainly help. For music theory, I highly recommend checking out Dave Conservatoire. He has made a bunch of videos about general music theory.

Sight reading is something you pick up with experience, a good exercise is to sightread absurdly easy pieces (start with grade 1). I was never much into sight reading, but I do have this PDF which might be helpful. There should be plenty of sight reading exercises on the web.

I am not sure what you mean by this, is it training relative pitch or improvising on spot and playing exactly what you have in mind you want? I seem to improve both of these things while transcribing music into a score. I guess composing could work as well. I started out painfully slowly, (took me 5 hours to transcribe first 20 seconds of Come on Eileen). But, just like any skill, you will get better at it with experience. The software I use for ranscribing is called Sybelius, but if you can not afford it (or if you do not support pirating) there are free alternatives.

Arguably, the most important thing is staying interested. Playing scales, learning music theory, listening to the same song 50 times because you can not figure out a chord or timing can be extremely boring at times. So playing a piece that truly challenges your hands will reward you much more than practicing tedious scales.

u/mtszyk · 2 pointsr/piano

I am just learning starting about two weeks ago, and I know all of my major scales and arpeggios and I am working on the natural minors, from this book.

u/NiXaMeR · 2 pointsr/piano

Are you looking for something such as Alfred's complete book of scales, chords, arpeggios and cadences? I bought it after reading about it here and I am not disappointed.

u/spidy_mds · 2 pointsr/piano

Did he start learning about scales and arpeggios ? If not, she will most probably start soon, so this book could be an option.

If she was my mother, I would get her a nail-clipper as she has to constantly cut her nail, so they don't make any sound when she hits the piano keys.

If she loves her nails, she hates the fact that she has to cut them to be able to practice "probably'.

u/Cloveny · 2 pointsr/piano

https://www.amazon.com/Scales-Chords-Arpeggios-Cadences-Complete/dp/0739003682

u/watkinobe · 2 pointsr/piano

Who does an AMA and doesn't answer all the questions??? Too many people! ...but NOT ME :) This is the book that is a must to develop your technique: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0739003682/?coliid=IVJTCFYTABUQ9&colid=UEHNYEAL44KE&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it


...and I can't stress this point enough: You MUST employ a teacher expert in technique development if you really want to excel as a pianist. While at UMKC conservatory, I had a mean old German fraulein who would literally rap my knuckles when I kept repeating the same mistakes until fear and pain forced me to put the practice time in to remedy the problem. I can't stress the importance of how seamless your left-hand thumb under technique must be for scales and arpeggios. Funny how all scales begin with they key of C - which is actually, IMHO the MOST difficult key of all to play! People think "no sharps or flats, but be easy, right?" Wrong. Playing the black keys is easier because there's actually more physical distance between them and, given the fact that they are raised above the white keys, they are easier to strike. UNLIKE C major, which has only the narrower white keys to play making execution significantly more difficult. I'll take the key of Cb over C any day!

u/AlwaysClassyNvrGassy · 2 pointsr/piano

This book helped me a lot during my first 30 days.

u/tyrion_asclepius · 2 pointsr/piano

Whoa, I started with those exact 3 songs when I started learning the piano almost 10 years ago! Anyway, I suggest you start with this book to learn some fundamental music theory. I like this book because it has multiple scales and lists the chords and arpeggios for each key signature and goes through the circle of 5ths. You don't necessarily have to go through this book in order, just make sure you follow the fingering patterns carefully and play the scales, chord progressions and arpeggios slowly so you can internalize them and familiarize yourself with the layout of the keyboard.

If you'd like to become a proficient sight-reader (which I highly recommend, being good at sight-reading will help you in the long run), start practicing with reading some simple pieces. Go through the Alfred's book and see how well you can read through those pieces on the first run. If you feel like you need more sight-reading practice, the Mikrokosmos books will provide you with plenty of material to sight read. I also like this book of hymns. Remember, if you can't play it nearly perfectly (at least in terms of getting the notes right) on the first run, it probably means you should work on reading through that piece. So keep practicing!

If you have the money, you might be interested in investing in this series of books. Each level contains Baroque, Classical and Romantic pieces, as well as etudes and music theory, which really helps with building up a well-rounded foundation. But then again, the best use of your money would be ideally spent on a good teacher.

If you'd like a song at a similar level to what you're currently learning, I also learned this version of Canon, Ballade Pour Adeline, A Thousand Miles (because it's a fun piece and why not :)), and Summer by Joe Hisaishi during my early piano years.

But to be honest, I don't recommend learning any of the pieces I just listed above, because they will take you too long to learn. In the same amount of time you spend learning those songs, you could be progressing much faster if you focused on learning fundamentals and picked much easier pieces. And I mean pieces as simple as Minuet in G major and Minuet in G minor, maybe even simpler.

I feel obligated to write all of this since you're starting from a similar place that I was when I first began learning piano. Jumping into pieces that sound beautiful or amazing isn't the most efficient method of learning. Take this from me who went from being fixated on learning the entire Fur Elise → River Flows in You → Canon in D → Rondo Alla Turca and other songs wayyyyy beyond my level, to dropping all of it in and just starting from the very basics because I realized I sounded like utter ****, even if I could play the notes and it sounded fine to my family/friends who didn't play piano. I also wasn't making much progress in terms of learning, since each new piece would take me foreverrrr to actually learn. Building up your fundamentals is the way to go, because once you get to the level where you can actually play those beautiful pieces, the learning process will be so much faster. I know starting from the bottom and working your way up can be a slow and sometimes even tedious process, especially when you have to go through all these pieces that seem really easy or boring, but trust me, it will be worth it and far more rewarding in the end. :)

u/thedayoflavos · 2 pointsr/piano

Alfred in particular has a good guide with various forms of scales/cadences/arpeggios for every key. If you're interested in learning to play pop/jazz piano, learning to comfortably play inversions of every chord is very important as well.

Tchaikovsky - Guide to the Practical Study of Harmony (An old keyboard harmony text with outdated terminology, but I think it has its uses.)

IMSLP for scores. Although it's nice to have some print copies of music to work on. For beginners, a collection like this is good to have around. The Clementi Op. 36 sonatinas, Bach two-part inventions, and Bartók Mikrokosmos (which range from beginner level in the first book to concert pieces at the end) are accessible to those in the early stages of their piano playing.

u/darknessvisible · 2 pointsr/piano

I haven't seen a (free) scale and arpeggio manual online, but a complete training book is available for $5 at amazon. You may as well buy one because it will last a lifetime and it will give you a rock solid foundation to build your repertoire upon.

For free sheet music the best place I have found is the Petrucci Music Library at imslp.org. Best of luck on your piano journey.

u/pinguz · 1 pointr/piano

I bought the Scales, Chords, Arpeggios and Cadences: Complete Book recently, and was surprised to see that the recommended ("used by most pianists") LH fingering for C, F and G arpeggios is 5 4 2 1. (Although it does mention that for some people 5 3 2 1 might be more comfortable.)

How the hell is 5 4 2 1 more efficient or comfortable than 5 3 2 1? Am I losing anything (i.e. making something else in the future more difficult for myself) by sticking with 5 3 2 1? I can do 5 4 2 1 too, but it feels a bit awkward, especially the 1-4 transitions.

u/cmattis · 1 pointr/futurebeatproducers

Well, my best advice (if possible) is just to pick up any book that has a combination of scales and basic chord progressions (like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Scales-Chords-Arpeggios-Cadences/dp/0739003682/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1343850716&sr=8-1&keywords=piano+chords+scales) and spend a few months working everyday learning them on piano or a keyboard. When you're making a song if you know ahead of time what key you want to write it in and then limit yourself to the notes available in that scale you'll find that you feel a lot more in control. If that's not possible you could try to pick up a music theory textbook, but in general those tend to be geared almost exclusively towards people that are going to be composing with pencil and paper (AKA Sibelius) in the Western Classical tradition so a lot of the rules they impose early on (avoidance of parallel/hidden fifths and octaves, some of the rules dealing minor scales) won't really apply what so ever to the stuff you're trying to do, but if you're interested in doing modulations (fancy smancey word for key changes) or utilizing weird scales like the half diminished you're probably gonna want to pick up a music theory textbook eventually.

NOW if you wanna go really deep down the rabbit hole, I'd pick up this book: http://www.amazon.com/Theory-Harmony-100th-Anniversary-Edition/dp/0520266080/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1343851092&sr=8-3&keywords=schoenberg

It's partially a music theory textbook but it's more an investigation into why harmonic structures work the way they do. Schoenberg's theory relating bass notes to chords completely changed the way I make music.

Hopefully that wasn't too confusing.

I just started using this app to train my ear to identify notes

https://mdecks.com/politonus.phtml

My method so far about 8 months into learning. My best friend is a professional musician (lives far so can't help me practically) and unlike some opinions floating around he was very encouraging of using Synthesia as long as I continued to pursue actual music reading in parallel. There is a button on Synthesia to show the sheet music so you can do both. That said sitting with just the book or a piece of music that is familiar in front of you and forcing yourself to spend some time with it alone is very fulfilling and will come slowly as you work with all of these materials. Good Luck!

u/roseicollis · 1 pointr/LofiHipHop

I do! Don't have a lot of beats so far but I'm working on it haha. You can check them out here if you want.

Also if you really want to learn music theory I recommend the book "Music Theory for Computer Musicians" by Michael Hewitt, you can also "borrow" it online if you catch my drift. It's a series of 3 books if I'm not mistaken (second covering harmony and third one composition). Then maybe you'd want a piano scales book (like this). Knowing your scales is pretty important if you want to compose music, you'll have to practice those and the book is really helpful for that. You can also find free versions online of similar books (I think r/piano has a link for one in their beginner's guide).

But again, really not that necessary for lofi hiphop unless you want to go deep. Music theory however is not wasted knowledge, so go for it if you're really motivated.

u/Keselo · 1 pointr/piano

Check out www.musictheory.net, maybe download an app like Functional Ear Trainer to get your relative pitch up to par and get Scales, Chords, Arpeggios and Cadences or a similar book. I would recommend going through it with your teacher, not trying to rush through it.

u/Flyingpolish · 1 pointr/WeAreTheMusicMakers

Buy a book on chords and learn them (at least all the basics). Learn transitions from major to minor, etc. You will start to ingrain the natural progression of notes in your head, as well as what other notes would work harmoniously with your loops, samples, etc.

I took piano for a while, but I've been out of practice. This book is helping me get back into things.

u/NorrecV · 1 pointr/piano

You should get a piano bench that is adjustable. I started with the one linked below, although I'd shop around as the price may have jumped up. I don't remember spending 50 dollars, but considering it's lasted 6 years I guess it was worth it. It's not 100% adjustable since it has "levels" and you might end up needing a height between levels. The acoustic piano benches that are fully adjustable cost $200+ though. A bench at the proper height will help avoid back pain after playing for a little while.

Scales are good to learn, you can do this as a warm up. I just listed two that seem to come up often and only had a single black key in them. I wouldn't recommend learning only scales as that would get boring. My teacher would have me do one scale as a warm up and when I could play it two-octave, hands together, including the 3 primary chords and inversions, and the arpeggio (the book we used had all of these on one page) then we'd move to a new one.

Now I'm going back and playing the scales of any pieces I'm working on at the time during warm-up. I do 4 octaves contrary motion. So it starts out normal then half way left hand starts going back down and right hand keeps going up. When right hand hits the 4th octave it starts going down and left hand starts going up again. Makes them feel fresh. I can learn scales faster than pieces so soon I'll have to start rotating scales in that aren't tied to pieces.
