A hands-on exercise that teaches the altered scale by transforming major scales into melodic minor and practicing the resulting mode across all keys.
This lesson shows a step-by-step practice routine to get fluent with the altered scale: flatten the 3rd of any major scale to form melodic minor, start on its 7th degree to create the altered scale, and practice it both ascending and descending. It emphasizes hearing the altered scale as its own sound and applies the scale over V–I resolutions to build musical context. Members get a downloadable PDF with the exercises laid out in every key for repeated practice.
