8The importance of the technical and intellectual proficiency of scales is a key element for a student's overall musical success. Scale practice is often avoided because it is considered tedious and boring. Get Ready for One-Octave Scale Duets! tackles this problem by pairing each major and minor scale with a tuneful teacher duet that motivates students to prepare their scale assignments. Also included in this book are music games for review, practice flashcards to keep scale practice fresh, and a One-Octave Scale Expert certificate.
