Learning Goals
Students will do in depth work on F Major, G Major and B-flat Major scales, arpeggios and etudes. Scale work will increase the students ability to play fast passages with ease and confidence. Scales and arpeggios dominate many pieces (for example, the Mozart Flute Concertos) and the student who is able to play the scales will find learning music so much easier.
