The purpose of the audio demos is to demonstrate the "sound as well as the musical quality" of each scale when used harmonically. Music scale studies are often approached using solely a melodic approach. By diatonically harmonizing the music scales then creating compositions based on them, I hope to heighten your interest...plus understanding...in the true power in addition to artistic freedom that can result from intelligent musical scale study and application.

Study these music scale demo compositions by following along using the leadsheets as you listen. Click to visit the individual music scale lesson pages to get extended information plus specific Piano, Bass + Guitar Chords / Scales Notes + Intervals Charts Diagrams for each.

If you are really serious about your studying, playing and teaching I recommend that you study these 46 music scales plus 500 more using the MAMI Musical Scales Atlas Download (or Book) for your instrument: it will make life easier and a lot faster!
