Paul Sheftel

Modules: 2010 Edition Paul Sheftel

Noted pianist and Julliard professor, Paul Sheftel, asks, "When learning to play a C chord, why not also learn F and G chords, since they all use only white keys?"

The three modules presented in this book are all about groupings that concentrate on the 12 major scales, their perfect, major and minor intervals, and the 12 major triads in root position and first and second inversions. These are studied in logical groupings. There is a specific musical composition for each scale, chord, and interval.

Currently on the faculty of The Juilliard School, Professor Sheftel has served on the faculties of the Mannes College of Music, The Manhattan School of Music, and Hunter College.

He has performed in most of the capitols of Europe and throughout the United States. In New York City alone he has performed in all of the noted performing venues including Carnegie Hall, Alice Tully, Town, and Merkin Concert Halls.
