Reading these scale and arpeggio patterns will improve sight-reading and technical fluency. They are based upon he premise that instrumentalists need to know how scales and arpeggios look in order to befluent sight-readers. They are divided into low and high registers and progress through 15 keys including the enharmonic keys. Read both enharmonic keys in order to be fluent in both. Accidentals are used for each key rather than key signatures. The entire range is covered in each mode from low B-flat (B-flat 3) to high F (F5). Scales included are: majors with tonic arpeggios, harmonics with minor arpeggios, melodic minors with tonic seventh arpeggios, chromatics, whole tones with augmented arpeggios, octatonics (diminished scles) with diminished seventh arpeggios, pentatonic and blues scales.
