Jazz Scale Studies Flute by James Rae
Jazz Scale Studies Flute by James Rae
Publisher-Universal Edition
About
Scales and arpeggios (or chords) are the melodic and harmonic building blocks of all music. More enjoyable than the scales themselves, James Rae has deliberately chosen keys for the flute that gives a comfortable, user-friendly introduction to the various tonalities. Each section in this volume for flute describes a particular type of scale and includes studies based on it.
Included are the major scale, the Dorian mode, the Mixolydian mode, the minor pentatonic scale, the jazz melodic minor scale, the blues scale, the chromatic scale, the whole tone scale and the diminished scale.
