Volume 2, for upper intermediate to advanced level students (Grades 5-7), presents all scales two octaves in parallel and contrary motion and in parallel thirds, sixths, and tenths indicated with traditional fingerings. Also included is a section on multiple-octave scales in three and four octaves. Students learn the essential theory concepts of key signatures (all seven sharps and flats), parallel and relative major and minor keys, and harmonizing scales in thirds, sixths, and tenths. Volume 2 is accompanied with weekly lesson plans freely available to the public on The Well-Rounded Pianist website, hence, this is not merely a “scale book” but a “complete scale guide” with step-by-step instructions written especially for teachers and students.

Volume 3, for advanced to concert level students (Grades 8-11), presents all scales in double thirds and sixths one and two octaves in parallel and contrary motion indicated with practical fingerings derived from symmetrical, mirror relationships. Practicing major and minor scales in double thirds and sixths is the cornerstone of the highly esteemed “Russian Piano School,” which trains the pianist to play two notes at a time in each hand requiring strength and flexibility not possible with the practice of single-note scales.
