Position:Home>Performing Arts> I'm confused on scales. Do you start and end on the same note, or go through

Simple answer: Yes!. A scale is a stepwise arrangement of ALL the notes!. If you start on ANY note of the scale as we know it in western music: A-B-C-D-E-F-G { seven notes and the REPEAT of the FIRST NOTE will make the 8th note a full 8ve!.scale!.
The last (8th note) could be an octave higher or lower with the
other notes in-between the high and low note!.

If you are ask to play a scale you must play all the 7 notes +
the REPEAT of the first note for a total of 8 notes played !.

If you are ask to sound an octave you just play the 1st Note and REPEAT that note 8 notes higher or lower!.

I hope this help you in your try-out!.

Good LuckWww@QuestionHome@Com

C, D, E, F, G, A , B, C

For all scales:
Do not repeat the last note to come back down the scale (to the note you started on), it's redundant and will not create a flowing, unified sound!.

Going up: C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C, coming down B, A, G, F, E, D, A!.

Practice this slowly (for each major/minor scale) and get it right, before trying to increase your speed!.

Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Start with a low c and then work up to a high c!. Thats pretty much the meaning of scales its like opposites, start with the low notes and end with the high notes,
