Don't stop practicing scales with just "movements"!
A new marimba scale lesson that you can learn by looking, listening, and feeling.

Are you not good at practicing scales?
In this book, we color-coded the keyboard according to tonality, and devised a way to visually remember the arrangement of notes as a "single pattern."
It's okay if you're not good at reading music scores. With easy-to-understand explanations, you can listen to sample melodies, try your hand at playing them, and master scales while feeling the color of the tonality.
Great for daily warm-ups and as a "dictionary" for checking tonality. This is a book that can be kept and used for a long time, from amateurs to those who are leveling up to become professionals.

① “Visual approach” that allows you to see the keyboard layout at a glance
● Memorize the “patterns” by coloring the keyboard!
・For keyboard instruments, it is also important to visually grasp the arrangement of sounds (shapes and patterns).
- Includes colored keyboard diagrams that match each tonality. Since the image (pattern) you see with your eyes and the keyboard intuitively match, you will be able to play without hesitation.

② Learn “practically and intuitively” with familiar melodies
●Publish melodies for each tonality!
-In addition to practicing scales, you can immediately try out famous phrases written in that key.
You can experience ``how scales can be used in songs'' in a practical way.
・If you find it difficult, check the video/sound source from the "QR code"!
・By listening to a model performance and imagining the color and atmosphere of the sound, or by searching for and listening to the original piece of music, students will expand their ``musical expressive power and imagination'' that goes beyond performance techniques.

③ Ideal for warming up before etude
●For your daily practice routine!
・Just by playing a quick play before starting to practice an etude or song, you will be able to get the procedure for that key, range, and keyboard feel in order.

④ It can be used as a “keyboard dictionary” that you can quickly open when you are lost.
●With detailed explanations for each tonality!
・“What is the tonality of this song?♯Ya♭Is it going to be hard? ” ``How do I use a mallet?'' You can open the page and check it like a dictionary.
