Practice Spinner

Mike Saville — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 08:27:18 +0000

During last nights practice chat a couple of people mentioned the use of a spinner as a good way to choose scales. This is an idea I've had for a couple of years - in fact I made up some spinners using card and a cocktail stick!

I have attached the template to the bottom of this post. Each spinner has 12 sides - not enough to cover all keys so therefore I created two. One has more sharp keys, the other more flat ones.

I hope you find them useful, I will post a practice method and quick vid to go with this later
