E.T. NATURAL MINOR SCALE

In this exercise you are asked to walk in a circle, along an imaginary line, with your steps acting as a metronome. Start with a C and hold it for four steps, then move up to D for another four, and then down to B♭. Once the circle is closed, start again from C, but this time go two notes up, intoning E♭, and two notes down, A♭. Always four steps per note, always following the circumference. Every three notes complete one round, and then move to one more interval above and below the central note, until all the notes of the scale are exhausted, as in the attached file.

In the C NATURAL MINOR scale:

C – D↑ – B♭↓

C – E♭↑ – A♭↓

C – F↑ – G↓

C – G↑ – F↓

C – A♭↑ – E♭↓

C – B♭↑ – D↓

The exercise can be transposed to various keys.
