As a sequel to the major mode scales routine I have uploaded
the equivalent routines for natural minor scales.
You will find "generic" versions for:
treble clef reading British brass band low brasses
bass clef reading euphonium, trombones, plus tubas in F, Eb,
CC, and BBb.
There is a short preface only, as these routines are following the
same principles laid out in the major mode scales routine.
You will find this sequel under the name of
"LowBrassNaturalMinorScales.pdf" towards the bottom of this
page:

It appears that some players find the extreme low range scales
in the contrabass tuba versions hard to play. They are right! But
one has to start at some point. A possible concept is offered in
the preface to the natural minor mode scales routine.
Likewise it appears, that quite a number of brass teachers have
expressed interest in my scales routine concept. Of course an
old brass teacher likes that. All of you should feel free to spread
the news about my free music files. The more players signing
up, the greater my motivation to upload files.
And please don't forget the ensemble music also offered on the
same page!
Routines for melodic and harmonic scales are in the planning.
Enjoy and sweat!
