“Scales are the fundamental building blocks of the improvising musician’s craft. While there are literally hundreds of different scales available (see Slonimsky’s “Thesaurus of Scales and Melodic Patterns” ), the mastery of just a dozen or so is sufficient to allow improvisation in all but the most avant-garde genres. Mastery of these scales and modes provides a context in which the more advanced scales become meaningful.

The Scale and Mode Decoder is an elegantly designed and simple to use reference for finding, in just a few seconds, the notes in these essential scales, replacing pages of printed music. It will be an invaluable tool for anyone studying the art of improvisation in music.”

“I have been using the Scale and Mode Decoder in my teaching of Secondary School music students. It is quickly becoming a valuable and highly sought-after classroom resource. The decoder has enabled me to provide students with a visual representation of how scales and modes are formed, and how they relate to each other. It has helped make clear concepts that many people studying music find difficult to grasp…..
I believe that it’s an innovative and extremely useful teaching resource, it is suitable for students of music of any age who wish to better understand how the scale and mode systems work.”
