Pentatude is the latest book from PianoHQ.com. “Penta” comes from the word pentatonic – a five note scale while “etude” is the French word for study. Together they are Pentatude. These are songs completely written for the five black notes of the piano. It is 100% white note free! Although I must admit… it’s made from concentrate. (Bad pun of the day).
