Major Scales:
* C Major
* G Major
* D Major
* F Major
* A Major
* E Major (potentially more challenging)
* Bb Major (potentially more challenging)
Minor Scales (likely starting with natural minor):
* A Natural Minor
* C Natural Minor
* G Natural Minor
* D Natural Minor
* F Natural Minor (potentially more challenging)
Chromatic Scales:
* At least one or two chromatic scales, potentially starting on C or G.
Important Considerations:
* Octaves: Scales should be practiced across at least two octaves.
* Articulations: Fourth graders should be practicing scales with various articulations including:
* Legato (smooth and connected)
* Staccato (short and detached)
* Accentuated notes
* Dynamics: Varying dynamics (loud and soft) within a scale is also important.
* Rhythm: Scales shouldn't just be played in quarter notes. Experiment with different rhythms (eighth notes, sixteenth notes).
* Key Signatures: Understanding and applying key signatures is crucial for playing scales correctly in different keys.
This is a general guideline. A fourth-grade flute student's actual scale work will be determined by their teacher based on their individual progress and the specific method book they are using. Always refer to the student's assigned materials and teacher's instructions.
