Technical Study #10

EOTW045 Bryan Davis

is exercise consists of a melodic pattern which is applied to 4 different scale types: Major, Minor, Whole Tone
and Diminished. ere are 2 versions – #1-12 pair the Major and Diminished versions, #13-24 combine the
Whole Tone and Minor versions.
e marked tempo is a target to work towards. Start out as slowly as necessary.
e goal is, as ever, smooth air ow from note to note, and across the entire phrase. Play slurred to begin with.
Once the pattern is familiar in each key, then alternate slurring and tonguing on each repeat.
Play each line at the notated pitch, then go back and play as many keys as possible 1 octave higher too.
