Crush Your Scales
I've been developing the "Crush Your Scales" idea over quite some time. It started back when I taught middle school and wanted to create a "pass-off" style method for students to learn their audition scales. I liked the "progression" idea that they must demonstrate competency of essential techniques, while also building the scale knowledge and skills. I used to be very a very dry: "you can either do this, or you can't.. when you can, you're ready for that next step." This took FOREVER to write, but it's worked quite well with my students over the years. Hopefully you can get some use out of it too!!
