[@hecateswolf6007]

Hi Paul, the exercise is great, can I ask though about the second apprnote, how many semitones is it above the target note? I know the first approach note is one semitone below but what about the second approach note? Many thanks.

[@OnlineSaxAcademy]

For the note above you take the note above from the scale, in this example we’re using the A harmonic minor scale, but it will work with any scale.

[@hecateswolf6007]

@@OnlineSaxAcademy thanks 😁👍

[@user-zq4fi4wp7f]

thanks for very good contents,but I have little question, I just downloaded 12keys papers,why A minor and "G major" are the same page,not the "C major", is there any purpose to put A minor and G major together ? Thank you again for the good teaching always~

[@OnlineSaxAcademy]

Thanks! This is because the sheet follows the format of the video. I start with the A minor arpeggio and then we have some G major scale patterns. But you are correct that C major is the relative major to A minor.

[@dn-yb6kt]

Hey. I just wanna be clear, these alterations to all scales for alto saxophone are on online sax academy?

They certainly are!
