All Major Scales for Saxophone

Practice Tips:

• Start slowly and keep a careful eye on your Key Signatures.

• Try playing these scales over your whole range. So, start on the first note, continue up the scale to the highest note you can play, then play down the scale to the lowest note you can play, and then return up the scale to the starting note.

• Always use a metronome when practicing to keep your beat event. Also, keep a record of how fast you can play your scales accurately during each practice session and see how you progress from week to week.

• Experiment with different articulations: All tongued, all slurred, two tongued and two slurred. Be creative!
