Haerle presents the scales used in improvisation and explains applications. Scales shown in all keys and treble and bass clefs include blues; ionian; dorian; phrygian; locrian as well as whole tone; chromatic; augmented and many more. Great aid to memorizing.

I had never tried any Mark Hayes stuff before. so I didnt know what to expect.This book left me breathless! I absolutley love it! Nice varitey! A bluesey piece. 2 jazzier ones. 2 ballads. and the rest just gorgeous! A word of warning to the advanced pianists -- these are not very challenging pieces... even the timing isnt a big deal ESPECIALLY is you listen to the enclosed CD - why. its practically cheating! The only other drawback. would be the length of the pieces. When I read the subtitle (For Concerts and Recitals). I thought they would be long. concert-like pieces.They average 3-4 pages each. The only one I would do for a concert would be How Great Thou Art. Its the longest. and the most challenging.But really. they are still very well put together. I play them for fun or at church. Theyre a snap to learn and I really enjoy playing them.Another great thing is how Mark Hayes puts in his performance notes. He really reads the words to a song before he sets about to arrange it. That always helps!Mark Hayes definately has the knack!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Outstanding Book from Mark HayesBy grammy1205As a retired church musician. I have enjoyed playing Mark Hayes arrangements in worship services for years. This book is a great addition to my collection. "How Great Thou Art" is the most challenging. but also the most outstanding selection from the book. The arrangements are written in a variety of styles. with "Ill Fly Away" being one of my favorites. Great writing by Mark Hayes!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. FABULOUS x 10By OnLineShopperCould listed to this CD all day. every day and still not get tired of it. I have ordered the sheet music and am sure that it will be too difficult for me. but I dream of being able to play like Mark Hayes. His talent is second to none (on earth. anyway). I LOVE THIS MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!
