      I haven’t written much on minor scales, just the pentatonic. I will try and write about them soon.

        Thanks Johnny–the more we know about this beast of an instrument–LOL–we’re learning to play called the Saxophone then the better for us 🙂

          All these scales are confusing, here in the UK if i wanted to do Jazz grade 2 for the Sax,
          i would have to do:

          SCALES AND ARPEGGIOS*
          From memory, straight-8s tongued, straight-8s slurred, or swing, as directed by the examiner:
          SCALES
          Dorian on A; Mixolydian on F; F major (one octave)
          D major (two octaves)
          Major pentatonic on F; Minor pentatonic on G (one octave)
          ARPEGGIOS
          The common chords of A and F majors (one octave) and D minor (two octaves)
