Scales: Listen to

For further reference when it comes to playing a scale, I have found some resources that will offer additional help in the technique of playing a scale.

1.) Audio Demonstration: This will give you a good idea of what a typical C scale sounds like. (Requires Quick Time)

2.) Wikipedia: Naturally, wikipedia offers more in depth studies of the C scale, including the notation, which will allow you to see what a scale looks like on a staff.

3.) Scale Demonstration: This site will provide a demonstration for any scale that you choose. This is a fun way to be interactive, listen, and play around with different sounding scales. It will also give you a good idea of what to expect in the future when dealing with major and minor scales.

4.) Further Intsruction: In case my guide to the C major scale was not sufficient enough, this site offers another approach to learning. Feel free to study this as in depth or as little as you wish.


Don't forget! The more you get involved, the faster you'll learn. Don't just play a song. Find something visual AND audio. Read AND listen. With this in mind, you can't go wrong!
