Double Stop exercise was my go to exercise for mastering all of my major and minor scales. So naturally when I started teaching this was the first exercise I gave to my front ensemble. Knowing scales and keys is incredibly important for pit players and can dramatically improve time spent learning show music. This exercise is simple to learn and quickly allows students to master their scales.

This exercise has four different variations. The first two variations are written in C Major but they are easily transposed to all keys. The last two variations hit all major keys in a chromatic scale. This exercise is scored for synthesizer, percussion and timpani as well so that you can pass this out to your whole ensemble immediately after download.
