Hi
Having just ordered an alto, something I always wished I could play and have now finally taken the plunge. I thought I'd do a bit of research while waiting for it to be delivered. One of the important things I think I have managed to pick up is the use of scales. I have done some research on the net and through this forum but seem to be unable to find out what are the 12 major scales. I downloaded two or three documents titled major scales, one only has 9 the other has 15. so I'm confused. Could somebody please confirm that the 12 major scales are as follows:
C,G,D,A
E, B, F#,C#
F, Bb,Eb,Ab
I'm sure there is a more elegant way of listing them, you know like Every, Good, Boy etc but I didn't come across that either.
Many thanks
Regards
Bill
