Summary of This Method
Denes Agay's Learning To Play Piano Scale Book is the fifth volume of the new edition of Denes Agay's famous pedagogical series, designed to support piano learning from the earliest years. This book focuses on a fundamental pillar of piano technique: scales, essential for gaining ease, control, and keyboard knowledge.
Following a clear progression, the book explores major and minor scales while reinforcing the understanding of keys. The student also works on key elements such as the "Circle of Fifths," chromatic scales, as well as arpeggios, broken chords, and more advanced sequences. This variety helps improve hand coordination, finger independence, and fluidity-essential assets for tackling repertoire, accompaniment, and improvisation.
While remaining very structured, Denes Agay's Learning To Play Piano Scale Book emphasizes a often overlooked point: once the fundamentals are mastered, scale practice can become truly enjoyable. The approach encourages varying rhythms, refining articulation, and developing expression to transform a technical exercise into a genuine musical moment. An excellent resource for establishing good practice habits and building a solid, lasting, and versatile technique.
