ThinkGeek Guitar Scales Playing Cards
Play cards, learn scales! If you walk into any school band, orchestra, or choir room and ask: "What's the most boring thing you have to practice or memorize?", we can assure you that the most common answer will be "scales." You may even see... a wrinkled nose or a protruding tongue. Scales aren't glamorous or particularly fun but they're the building blocks of music. Once you've memorized all 48 of them, things just click. Pieces that looked complicated become easier to dissect and practice. Composing your own tunes is easier, too. These Music Education Playing Cards make learning scales and key signatures fun. Play a game of Texas Hold'Em, Blackjack, Go Fish, or Solitaire and let the information on the cards sink deep into your subconscious where it belongs. After a lot of gaming, you'll have mastered your scales and your poker face. How's that for multi-tasking?
