These exercises are nothing else but scales—with some twists. However, instead of serving their traditional purpose, they are designed to maintain focus and sharpen awareness of various aspects, primarily key signatures. Surely, as a teacher, you, dear reader, have experienced that one of the most common challenges students face when sight-reading is neglecting key signatures. Most of the following exercises provide an easy way to practice key signatures by playing scales that frequently change keys. Others help practice staying alert in different ways. And what’s more—they are fun!
Suitable for all instruments reading treble clef
