Themes

Scales are grouped into colour-keyed themes


Categories

Each scale grouping is based on a theme, with each assigned a distinctive colour

Visual cues

Coloured badges on each scale page reflect the theme colours


Scale notes

Notes comprising each scale are listed with their associated accidentals (i.e. the sharps and flats). A mnemonic based on the theme grouping is then created using the initial scale note and the subsequent accidentals.

In this example, A major is in the “People” group, and the notes A, C#, F# and G# have been used to create the mnemonic

Keyboard

A keyboard highlights the scale notes using theme-coloured dots. This makes it easier to see the pattern created by a scale over both black and white keys

Circle of Fifths

A Circle of Fifths diagram, colour-coordinated to match the scale pages in the book, is included. The diagram and accompanying text explains, in a straightforward fashion, the relationship between the twelve notes of the chromatic scale, their corresponding key signatures, and their associated major and minor keys.
