A Fun Way to Master Major Scales
As a musician who’s frequently auditioning for ensembles, it’s crucial that you know your scales. It’s also essential that you practice those scales regularly to maintain a solid musical foundation. With the Alessi ScaleUp from S.E. Shires, mastering your scales can be as fun and easy as rolling a die — literally! This 12-sided die was developed with the help of renowned trombonist and Shires artist Joseph Alessi and is a must-have practice tool for musicians from all walks of life. A different major scale is printed on each side of the die. To use the Alessi ScaleUp, toss the die, play the scale that lands faceup, and store it in your case until next time. Musicians at Sweetwater recommend rolling the die once per practice session to change up your practice routine, or rolling multiple times to keep those scales fresh in your mind for adjudications and auditions. After just a few sessions with the S.E. Shires Alessi ScaleUp, you’ll be feeling more confident about your scales than ever before!
