Five Note Patterns
|
This exercise utilizes five note patterns, ascending chromatically for each iteration. This is a great chance to get a work out in all keys. Change the rhythm (i.e. turn quarters in to four 16th notes) or articulation (i.e. add some slurs) to give it variety.

"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. |
This resource was developed from the full band sets of working the same patterns in all twelve keys. There's scales, thirds, arpeggios and more to get you fingers going. Practice with a metronome, start slow, and speed it up!
