The Treasury of Scales includes all major and minor scales in harmonized form -- 96 total. Scales are harmonized in SATB format. The harmony and tempo conditions give the conductor material to teach tone; balance; and intonation. Its easy to use because so many of the instruments are playing the exact same lines. Treasury of Scales should be in every band folder as a permanent part of the repertoire and used daily as a warm-up exercise.

Big Lindsey Stirling fan. Hes working through it and will play it for recital. It is a very challenging piece; although hes got it down now. It is very very very similar to her live performance; which is good; as it helps you work through some of the trickier rhythms and get the musicality of the piece. Thats not always easy - this is one of those scores that sketches out what is very beautiful in performance; but comes from your heart; rather than just replicating what is on the page.I didnt give it a 5 because I cant get a piano score to go with it - and you really want a harmony/background score to perform it at a recital. I found someone elses version that came with piano accompaniment; and were stitching it together. It does come with a play-along; but that isnt the same thing. This would make a great solo/support violin duet or a great solo/piano or bass piece. I wish they sold the accompaniment.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Very good books with fun play along tracksBy DavidLove these books. Music written large enough for me. Accessing audio tracks was very easy; follow the website url written inside; along with the code and it will take you right there. Was able to easily download to my samsung phone. Audio tracks include a tune track; as well as all songs listed. Each song listed has two versions. One track being the example; as what it should sound like as playing; and the other track is all the same music; just minus the violin; so you are able to clearly play along with the music.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. I love LindseyBy Rachel H.I love Lindsey and her music and My Immortal is really fun to play. However; 2 of the songs that Ive had the chance to play so far dont sound like I expected them to. Dont You Worry Child and the Pokemon Theme and I was really excited about those to. My playing may be a little off which might account for that seeing as I havent had this book very long nor have I had the chance to play them all. Overall its a great challenging book.
