DIRECTIONS FOR STUDY OF THE SCALES
Major Scales
‘The study of the scales has always been greatly neglected in works of the present description,
As a rule, writers on the subject have generally contented themselves with providing a few examples
and leaving the pupil to supply for himself, whatever may be wanting in the method. As a result,
only a limited number of artists are capable of executing a scale correctly. However, it is of urgent
importance that the scales should be diligently practised and owing to the importance to this branch
of study, scale work has been treated to great length and in every variety of key in the following pages
One of the principal objectives to be gained through such study is perfect equality of sound, smooth
Jegato and correct method of playing in general.
Minor Scales
Owing to the fact that the minur scale is naturally less rich than the major scale, examples of only
the tonic and dominant have been given to offer an idea of ils resources,
Chromatic Scales and Triplets
The chromatic scale is one of the most essential and as its study imparts ease to the manipulation
of the instrument, it has been treated at considerable length in this method, Care must be taken to
press the valves down properly, in order that all the notes may be intoned with purity and fullness.
‘The study of chromatic scales imparts ease to the fingering.
At first the student must practise slowly, taking lime to mark the indicated rhythms with exacting
care. In this form, just as in the diatonic scale, it is necessary to increase the sound while ascending
and to diminish it again while descending; in doing this strict attention should be paid to time, nor
should the latter part of each phrase be hurried, as is the habit with many players. The use of a met-
ronome is also recommended, in order to arrive at a precise sense of tempo and rhythmic surety,
