Note: Most of the ranges indicated throughout these exercises are suggested as a "starting point" only. Those that are able should play and/or extend these exercises to higher and
lower octaves as they are able. That said, the "full-range" exercises do indicate a quite extensive playing range. If the full range of these exercises is not yet achievable, one or more
octaves can be omitted until playing range improves.
Practice all of the scales and arpeggios in a single key area each day. This way, one develops a routine where a wide variety of scales and arpeggios are mastered in a 12-day
rotation.
1. "Revolving" Scale = 60-180+
Note: Play this exercise both legato and staccato, in different octaves, if possible. Also note how this exercise teaches the modes as it "revolves" through scales starting on each note of the major scale.

Note: These scales occur much more rarely than do major and minor scales, but are nevertheless common enough that they should be practiced regularly.
Playing these only one octave during a single practice session saves time; create variety and increase facility by playing these in higher or lower octaves than written

Note: Similar to the previous exercise, the arpeggios here are limited to two octaves in order to conserve time. These should be transposed to different octaves in order to increase facility, and can be
expanded in order to cover the full range if desired.

4. "Odd" Scales = 60-120
Note: These scales occur much more rarely than do major and minor scales, but are nevertheless common enough that they should be practiced regularly.
Playing these only one octave during a single practice session saves time; create variety and increase facility by playing these in higher or lower octaves than written

q5. Arpeggios = 60-120
Note: Similar to the previous exercise, the arpeggios here are limited to two octaves in order to conserve time. These should be transposed to different octaves in order to increase facility, and can be
expanded in order to cover the full range if desired.

1. "Revolving" Scale = 60-180+
Note: Play this exercise both legato and staccato, in different octaves, if possible. Also note how this exercise teaches the modes as it "revolves" through scales starting on each note of the major scale.
