Minor Scale Melodies (Range Shifting)

Melodies GameHear a melody in one octave, play it back
Aeolian (Natural Minor)The natural minor scale — melancholic and introspective

Hear & play minor scale melodies in time while the range shifts and the root shuffles.

Why

  • Spread the minor scale across the whole instrument, an octave at a time, with the root moving under you — the spatial fluency full-range play needs.
