Still containing all the standard scale and arpeggio patterns, it has been enlarged to include whole-tone scales, augmented arpeggios and additional broken chord patterns. Ruth Gerald, formerly Head of Keyboard Studies at the Royal College of Music and a senior ABRSM consultant and examiner, has written an informative introduction, which includes some technical guidance and practice suggestions. This new edition with its clear page layout and accessible structure is an excellent resource for all pianists. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Dimensions | 23 x 0.7 x 30.6 cm | | Isbn 10 | 1860961126 | | Isbn 13 | 978-1860961120 | | Item Weight | 1.05 kg | | Language | English | | Part Of Series | ABRSM Scales & Arpeggios | | Print Length | 96 pages | | Publication Date | 19 July 2001 | | Publisher | ABRSM | ## Images ![The Manual of Scales, Broken Chords and Arpeggios (ABRSM Scales & Arpeggios) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61TRy3Jj8wL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Terrific reference guide for scales *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 1 April 2018* Really great scale exercises in this book. I'm doing the ABRSM jazz grades and the scales book for that is much less comprehensive than what's included in this. I think this is an invaluable book for anyone learning jazz.For each key, it gives the major scale, in several forms - the normal octave apart with each hand, then the right hand as a third above while the left does the normal scale, then similar to that a sixth apart. Those three scales are then given in contrary motion. It continued with each hand playing two notes - first as thirds, then sixths, then octaves. It goes on to do the minor scales for each key in these various ways too. The next section gives chromatic scales in all these patterns, then whole note scales and the last section has broken chords and then arpeggios.It doesn't include the pentatonic, blues scales and modes that the jazz syllabus scale book has, but I think this is a brilliant book for anyone trying to learn jazz and struggling with all those books that say (without providing any reference) now do that in 12 keys! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Would recommend *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 22 December 2024* Great for piano lessons ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Manual of Scales, Broken Chords and Arpeggios *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 1 December 2023* I bought this purly as a reference book to remind me of the fingering when I need some guidance in that department. This is a very comprehensive piano scale book. If you want everything in one place, this is an ideal book but might be daunting for beginners. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Manual of Scales, Broken Chords and Arpeggios (ABRSM Scales & Arpeggios) - Piano Exam Pieces 2025 & 2026, ABRSM Grade 1: Selected from the 2025 & 2026 syllabus (ABRSM Exam Pieces) - Piano Exam Pieces 2025 & 2026, ABRSM Grade 2: Selected from the 2025 & 2026 syllabus (ABRSM Exam Pieces) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/53743704-the-manual-of-scales-broken-chords-and-arpeggios-abrsm-scales](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/53743704-the-manual-of-scales-broken-chords-and-arpeggios-abrsm-scales) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-29*
