Beautiful Scale Playing

Technique is the ability to play what we hear in our head. 

• Scales allow us to cement in muscle memory the basic patterns of music.
  
• Scales allow us to practice playing beautifully. 
  

Here is an exercise to get you started. Notice the rhythms, articulations, and dynamics. Play one octave in quarter notes, two octaves in eighth notes, three octaves in triplets, and four octaves in sixteenths. Please use a metronome or drum loop to keep it steady. Have fun.
