EXERCISE THREE

As the Altered scale can be tricky, let’s take some time in our preparation to ensure that our familiarity and level of dexterity is sufficient, before we attempt it in a harmonic context. Exercise 3 conveys the Altered scale over two complete octaves. Be mindful of the fingering you employ when delivering the structure, as a shift in position at the wrong time can lead to performance discrepancies. As a helpful hint, I tend to immediately move my index finger from the first note to the second.
