Rhythm Scales in A

Here is a way to practice your scales and get familiar with different rhythm patterns.

It's the major scale spanning two octaves, first with even quarter notes, then with tied triplets, then dotted quarter and eighth, then with double dotted quarter and sixteenth.

Each of these figures gives a different feel and it's important to become familiar with them. We have it in all keys, and you can play them separately. At the bottom of the page you can also select the next key in the circle of fifths. This will give you the related key that uses only one different accidental.

First, Select the Sheet Music for Your Instrument,

Treble Clef, high range Treble Clef, low range Bass Clef Viola (alto clef)

then, get the Sound File

Piano only, C instruments Piano only, Bb instruments Piano only, Eb instruments Piano only, F instruments

Also, we have an MP3 soundfile that goes through all the keys a half step at a time, so you can sit down and play through them without stopping. This soundfile starts on concert C, so arrange your sheets accordingly if you have a transposing instrument (Bb instruments start on D, Eb instruments start on A, F instruments start on G).
