5 - Major scales have seven notes. Note 8 is note 1 again played an octave higher. For these lessons,

instead of writing 8, we will use 1 with a dash through it (1), meaning “note 1 up the octave.” This

exercise introduces notes 7 and 1.

Key of D - Exercise 2

6 - Notes 2 through 6 can also be played an octave higher. The fingering is the same, but you will

have to blow a little harder. Here again we will use dashed numbers to indicate the higher octave.

Exercise 3

7 - Congratulations! That’s what you need to know to get started in the key of D. Now on to the key

of G. Almost all the notes in G are played the same as in D, but we number them differently, and

there is one new note to learn. First, the new numbers. This is note 1.
