  CLARINET > Major/ Natural Minor Scales in the “Circle of 5th” pattern.

• START on any Major Scale.
• Play that scale up and back.
• Walk down four-1/2 steps to find your relative minor.
• Or the 6th note of the major scale.
• THEN walk down two-1/2 steps (a whole step) to find your NEXT MAJOR SCALE.
• Keep practicing this and it will come to you without not much thought – and you will “hear it”.

CHROMATIC SCALE / FULL RANGE as shown below
Warm up with 6 note slur up and back a few times:  Bb1 to D#1 (loop)
