For beginning students, I like to start them on the Hal Leonard Essential Elements. I believe it moves at the proper pacing for young children. For intermediate students, Accent on Achievement works well because I find the music is more challenging.

It is from there that I gradually add a new scale (one every few weeks) until ultimately all 12 major scales are learned. Read More
