The Piano Scale Encyclopedia

Every scale. Every key. Both hands.

Whether you're learning your first major scale or adding jazz and gospel colors to your playing, The Piano Scale Encyclopedia puts every scale you need in one place. Each scale is drawn right on the keyboard, so you can see exactly which keys to play, with the fingering for both hands underneath.

No more guessing at fingering or flipping between books. Find the key, find the scale, and play.
