I would like to know if there is sheet music showing the scales ascending-descending two octaves followed with chords so far I have found Hanon which is too complex and don't show the simple chords and fingering, and single octaves which don't let you get the hang of the over\under movements

Bastien has a book out called Scales, Chords, and Arpeggios. It goes through every key with a one octave scale, then a two octave scale, then a chord progression with inversions, and then the arpeggio for the key you are in. It is very helpful with many of my students. I believe it is around $6. Kristy

There is a website that has free scale sheets that you can download and print.
