That way of playing scales is very familiar to me. A teacher that I used to
take lessons with had me do them that way.

>You ask a good question regarding scale ranges.

>Most of us now encourage

>
>C - up to G3 - down to low G- back up to low C
>F - 3 octaves
>Bb - up to F3 - down to low F - back up to low Bb
>Eb - up to G3 - down to low G - back up to low Eb
>Ab - 3 octaves
>Db - up to F3 - down to low F - back up to low Db
>Gb - 3 octaves
>B - up to F#3 - down to low F# - back up to low B
>E - 3 octaves
>A - 3 ocatves
>D - up to F#3 - down to low F# - back up to low D
>G - 3 octaves
>
>One very simple way to remember the ranges is to realize
