You could stick the scales on one card and the keys of them on a nother n try n match them. It mite sound silly but nnow i no all my scales. Go for it u ll b fine

try making up strange rhythms, like playing them to the rhythm of Old Macdonald or something like that. You have to remember to play them properly in exams tho

is ephonium a type of musical instrument???if no, what does that means??hehehe.

Yes, a euphonium is a type of brass instrument a bit like a small tuba, as far as I am aware.

Yes. It is.

oooh, i see.thanks.

When i was doing my grade i practiced and practiced but still got nowhere then my tutor said that i should get this scales book called Exam scales made easy.
You might want to try that because it worked for me they come with a cd as well

A slightly more helpful suggestion. Get you own copies of the the music.
