Today the topic of discussion is the in-out whole tone scale. I have fashioned a study (which I use for my students) that is a simple way to memorize the repeating harmonic structures of the whole tone scale. In a nutshell, all that is happening is 6 dominant 7th #5 (augmented) chords a whole step away from each other in all regards. If nothing else this study promotes technical facility with the scale and familiarizes the ear to the sometimes enigmatic sound of the whole tone.I recommend, as always, to practice the study slowly to allow for focus on accuracy. Then once you feel comfortable take the tempo up. Have fun and feel free to ask questions.
