I’m a complete novice at the piano. The book would be OK for someone who has at least basic piano skills.

This book includes all the basic information needed to master scales, arpeggios and other music fundamentals. The importance of practicing the scales is more than just familiarizing oneself with the notes on the board, they also help to practice fingering.
The book also gives a nice overview of some basics of music from cords, triads, fifths, cadences, etc. So yea, if you’re beginning the piano or just looking for a good all in one book on the subject I would definitely recommend this one.

First pages give handy explanations of how scales and chords are formed, so you can start from any note and construct the chords yourself.
Scales are easy to read, includes fingerings.
Great book to learn and practice the fundamentals.

I am a beginner and bought this to supplement my music lesons. I am finding it wonderful and have been playing from it for a couple weeks now. It has suggessted findering for the scales. Each scale has the basic two octives followed by contrary motions and then two variations. Each is pretty humbling – I think I have it down until I try the 6ths or such and find I have to learn it again. Second page has the cords and arpeggios. The written background information is interesting and useful explanation of why some of the scales developed as they did. My teacher is also impressed by it. Well worth the price.

Scales and chords are the building blocks of learning piano, and are tied into basic music theory. This book is an excellent and easy-to-understand reference for that, and has exercises that help develop good skills.
I find it essential for practice and just for looking up stuff I’ve forgotten. If you’re a self-study looking for something to supplement your method books, get this book. If you have a piano teacher, chances are he or she has already recommended picking up this or something similar.
