        Complete Book of Modulations for the Pianist

        I am very pleased with this book. When playing preludes for church I often need to transition from one key to another. I am not an accomplished pianist so this book of modulations is just exactly what I was looking for. I appreciate too the good service and timely delivery...

        Really helpful

        I use this book every week - as I use between 8-10 modulations by the time I've played through all the songs in our Sunday service. It's well organized and very easy to find the key changes that I need. Thanks so much!

        Perfect for churches

        Like many churches, our musicians have little formal training. Some play by ear, others by sight. For those who need music, I was looking for a book that would allow me to modulate between songs in different keys for songs in our worship services. This was the PERFECT solution. The...

        Good examples, no explanations

        I will actually give a 3.5. I'm an intermediate to late advanced player. This book covers all examples for modulations (going from one given Key to a different one). The book is divided in four sections: a) from every major key to every major key b) every major key to...

        An excellent find!

        Just the book i've been on the lookout for! No text, just the music. Excellent for use in my grade 6 theory class when it tackling the modulation, composition and chord sessions!
