Welcome, students, subscribers, and friends! The links below will open play-along files into your iRealPro app. Practice your scales and arpeggios with jam tracks! Use those scales and arpeggios to jam and improvise with the tracks! This page and portion of my website will be growing and expanding. Bookmark it and check back periodically.
Sheet music for most of the workouts is available by subscribing to MyTalentForge.Com (which also has supporting instructional videos), or by studying with me at Berklee College of Music.
One Octave Modal Scale Workouts:
The following workouts chromatically ascend starting in half position through 7th position starting on first finger. To practice the scales starting on a different finger, simply start the track on the line with your starting tonic and play from there. Adjust tempo and style as desired. Default style is Bossa Nova for evenly played 8th notes.
