Around 6 weeks ago I made major and natural minor scale routines available for free download. Now I have uploaded the equivalent routines for melodic minor scales.
These routines are intended for individual work for low brass players (as opposed to scale training in ensembles).
There are versions for euphonium in Bb treble clef (can also be used by brass band baritones, tenor trombones, plus Eb and BBb tubas), euphonium in bass clef concert (bass trombone), and tubas in F, Eb, CC, and BBb (bass clef concert).
Part of the idea is, that the routine ranges are adapted specifically to each of the different pitches of tubas/euph.
This is the 3rd of 4 scale routines. Harmonic minor routines hopefully will follow soon. You should download the major and natural minor routines before you work with this present routine.
The file format is .pdf. The preface and all the versions for different pitches are in the same file.
You will find the "LowBrassMelodicMinorScales.pdf" file down the page linked to below here.
Enjoy and sweat!
