Dd2 (7) is doing her grade 2 trumpet this term. Now, dh is a trumpet player/teacher. He's taught for 20 years, but he's stumped with how to help dd2 learn the scales. He has never printed the scales out for pupils, but has got them to work the scales out and learn them that way. Dd2 cannot remember them, especially the arpeggios. He has endless patience with his pupils, but not so much with dd2 .....never teach your children springs to mind.
She has no problem playing other tunes without the music in front of her - just scales! Any teachers or parents out there who have a magical way to help her to remember them? As a non-musician scales seem really easy. When I played the recorder years ago, I loved playing scales
