These drills will help you to identify scales by their notes.
Before you begin, take a moment to review the scale reference for any
topics that you are unfamiliar with.
As you study for the questions in this drill, pay special
attention to the degree and step sequence of each scale type. If
you are unfamiliar with how to use these to identify a scale, be
sure to read the section on scale construction as well.
Within each drill, there are options to either 'study' - a flash-card
like interface for for questions in that drill, multiple-choice, and freeform
text. Some drills won't have both multiple choice and freeform, but when they
do the multi-choice is typically easier than the freeform.
1: Diatonic
These are the "normal scales" you typically see in western music
(major, minor, etc), and are made up of seven-note scales following
a pattern of whole and half steps.
