"Crush Your Scales" is an individual pass off-type resource to systematically teach students their scales. These do not work for full band like most of my other resources. These would be good for private lessons or supplementary material. I've given them to students to progress on their own as well. The exercises are designed to be purely technical, so if they're playing their instruments correctly (check out the warm-ups section) and have a fingering chart... they should be able to do so.

These are pages of patterns in different key signatures. Originally developed as a full band resource, this is only the flute pages. There is a page for all twelve key signatures. The idea is to learn all the same patterns in every key. As you're practicing these, it's a good idea to go ahead and start thinking of them in terms of scale degrees and not just the note you're playing (know both!)

*Non-South Carolina folks, I designed these specifically to align with SCBDA Region Band (middle school level) Auditions, so that's what dictated the ranges for the scales.
