Major Scales, Chromatic Order, Ascending

This workout is a great way to incorporate all 12 major scales into the daily training for your band, or your studio. Ranges for each instrument are carefully chosen to develop skills for the players. Each ascending scale pattern ends in a fermata, to allow students time to think about the next key, and to prepare their minds, fingers, and mallets accordingly. This workout is fun, in the sense of "accomplishing something important", not in the sense of "amusing." Pacing is important! If you learn one key each week, you can learn all 12 keys in less than a semester!
