Hi David,

           I'm still enjoying the course very much.

I've now learnt the 12 Major Diatonic Scales.

Could you please let me know what lesson covers, the notes of each scale on harmonicas.

I want to learn if there is any patern regarding the layout of the notes on each Harmonica scale please.

 

Many thanks,

Calum.

Hello Calum. Music Theory

Hello Calum. Music Theory Study 1 teaches the major scales so that you can understand how scales are built and how chords are built from them. Understanding of the major scale also helps you to understand positions and how our solo scales (Major Pentatonic and Blues for example) work. Beyond that, the major scale is not commonly studies past the scale associated with the key of the harmonica (C Major Scale on a C Major Harmonica for example). I do have lessons on our essential scales, and you can start your study here Movement Exercises Study 2 - Essential Scales http://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/movement_exercises_study_2_scales
