 Re: Scale Requirements--have we surrendered?

Wow! Hunter_100, I know what you're saying about Jupiter. The arrangement we did had pentatonic runs in D-flat, at least at the beginning of the movement. It really put me in the woodshed!

And Tom H., I agree that all scales in 2 octaves is a bit much for first year. I once had a sax student learn out to 4 sharps & 4 flats in his first year, but he had the hunger and I was just 'letting' him do it with minimal supervision. Interestingly, he came back after the summer with this idea of constructing his scales from tetrachords, and falling into all the overthinking that tends to go along with that methodology. I can remember telling him, "Ben, YOU ALREADY KNEW THE SCALES!--just do the tetrachords on your classroom quizzes"

Most of my guys get out to 2 sharps/flats first year, 4 sharps/flats 2nd year, and then we deal with the six-of-one/half-dozen-of-the-other set in 2nd or 3rd year. Fortunately, the Master Theory Workbook has some exercises which allow me to blast the kids with continuous accidentals--allowing them to see their scales and key signatures as a helpful solution, rather than yet another unwelcome mental burden.

So much teaching at early stages is a matter of sales pitch, and I'm very interested in sequencing things to emphasize cause/effect and problem/solution.
