The Pentatonic Scales Workbook

Description

The Pentatonic Scales Workbook: A Step by Step Guide for Beginners

This workbook organizes the study of the pentatonic scales and has exercises to practice the most used melodic patterns in the jazz idiom.

The system starts with the major pentatonic scale in 12 keys, changes the tonal center to get the 12 minor pentatonic scales and adds one blue note to build the blues scales.

The book follows the model of the rest of the workbooks of the series: building melodic lines starting with melodic patterns, combine them with syncopated rhythmic patterns and articulations and add the most important element: swing.

The workbook includes models and templates to write, correct yourself, and improve memorization.

The exercises you´ll find in this book are used in jazz standards and can be played over play alongs.

The contents are related to the rest of the Jazz Language Workbooks.

What you will find in this book:

100 pages.

46 exercises.

45 models and templates.

Pentatonic scales with skips/ forward motion / articulations / chromatics / embellishments / pivoting / clichés.
