Why I Built Scales By Suzy

I was told I needed to learn the pentatonic scales to solo. I went looking for a complete list online and couldn't find one, so I decided to program it myself. Before I knew it, I had an app useful to most music students.

I spent two decades in software development and a decade teaching IT and math at the college level. Now I play mandolin a couple of times a week and jam with a local bluegrass group.
