Anyone know an easy way to remember scales? They really confuse me. Any tips on how to remember?

Thanks Soph

Hi Soph -

there is a whole thread already on this and I think it is in Students, but am not quite sure - about learning scales. Just checked - it IS in Students called "How Do You Learn Your Sacles" (yes a spelling mistake, but that's what it says)

Good luck.

By the way - do you LIKE scales?

Generally i just write them all out then put them in a 'hat' and pull them out. Then, tick off the ones on a chart when i know them.
Also, dont bore yourself silly, otherwise you won't bother remembering. At least, that's my philosophy - little and often! Like, once, twice maybe three times a day.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!! No I dont like scales but I have to learn some for grade 5

Hey Soph

The following link contains lots of threads on scales, there is one in particular that is very good

buy some pieces of music that involve scales...then you have no choice but to learn them! To learn my chromatics I used to play lots of jazzy pieces...really good way of learning....just an idea!
