Sequences
The more familiar you are with a scale, the easier you will find it to play melodies created from that scale, as well as creating your own melodies from the scale. One of the best ways to practice scales is through the use of sequences. A sequence is a repetitive pattern in which the rhythm remains the same while the pitches are repeated higher or lower. Here is a sequence exercise using the G major scale.
