Using the C major scale and its family of chords do the following progressions.


Low tones on left to higher tones on right. The G note will be the pedal tone.


Play as chords or arpeggio style.

B, E, G E minor second inversion


A, E, G A minor seventh - incomplete


G, E, G G major add sixth - incomplete


(I, iii, vi7, V/6 progression)






C, C, G C major - incomplete


F, F, G F major add nine - incomplete


A, C, G A minor seventh - incomplete

Now repeat all example ten times. Then move by half step intervals higher in tone (C#) then increase metronome to 110 BPM. Do this by half steps (chromatic scale) to


D, Eb, E, F, F#, G, Ab, A, Bb and B increasing speed by ten BPM for each ascending key.


Do this for all examples given on page.


























































































Now transpose these to each position (register) of your instrument, then to all 15 keys.
