Description

Each octave of the chromatic scale starting on C for two octaves is broken into three sections which are exercised separately. Chromatic fingerings for lower D#, F# in both registers and Bb in the second register are illustrated along with the fifth finger keys to be chosen. The chromatic scale is presented with all the appropriate fingerings indicated. The importance of applying metre to chromatic scales is explained. Exercise 37 prepares for the chromatic scale starting on F, which is then presented with fingerings indicated. Practice Plan 21 incorporates all the material so far covered.
