 scales anybody
Author: Ralph Katz

I was thinking about putting together a set of exercises on Freygish / Phrygian Dominant / Ahava Rabba / Klezmer scale, in all possible keys.

Beyond the basic scales, what else do you think might be useful? Running thirds?

Any ideas will be appreciated.

I don't know that you need to write them out, but yes, thirds are useful for the figures you get in Greek/Turkish/Balkan/Klezmer. Especially ascending, with this second note a "ghost note": e (g#) f (a) g# (b), etc. with the parenthesis notes ghosted, or barely played for klezmer. Descending for especially for Greek/Turkish b (c) a (b) g# (a), etc. Playing the scales with a mordent on each note is also a useful exercise I would think.
