Volumes 3-4 are suitable for Music Education and Piano Performance auditions; Volumes 2-4 are suitable for other Music Major auditions; Volumes 1-4 are suitable for Music Minor auditions. It is important to choose all pieces from the same program within one of these books, as the pieces are designed to complement one another. 2. Three-octave major and minor scales and arpeggios. 3.
