Sax, Clarinet & Flute Scales & Exercises
It is a shame that exam boards are becoming less rigorous about scales, and that when they are examined there does not always seem to be a logical pattern to the way they are presented through the grades. In particular I am at a loss to explain why both harmonic and melodic minor scales are not required until grade 6, although I suppose any scales are better than none at all. It seems to me that all keys should be studied in as much detail as possible, so I have produced a number of worksheets starting with C major / A minor and working through each key. What I have done so far is freely available by clicking on the links below. They are in pdf format; if you would like copies of the Sibelius files in order to help me develop the ideas and contribute to the resources in any way, please write to me. Most of the resources below are also available at my Sibelius Music Page.
