quickest way to memorize & learn ALL scales

[Fartkontrol]

I don't know all of my scales, and I really am struggling to memorize them. Are there any tips on how I can memorize them quickly and have fun while playing them ? Thank you.

Learn the sound and structure of each type in C first (major WWHWWWH, natural minor, etc.) then play all other keys by ear. It's not necessarily quick or fun, but it works. Personally, I find songs fun, not scales. I don't know how to make them fun.

@Fartkontrol, in addition to learning your scales, I hope you also gain control of your farts. Maybe don't blow so hard?

There are no deep and dark secrets to memorizing scales. Do you have a scales book for your instrument? It is basically, practice, practice, practice. Over time by repetition, you will memorize them. Also practicing music in various scales to include the difficult ones will help. Writing them down on a card and reciting them vocally over and over helps, too.

Who put the catfish bait in their clarinet case? 💀 🥳

I would say get yourself a Beginner level book, such as Standard of Excellence. They are made for younger kids in school band for the most part, but that's good - it really focuses on the basics and builds on that foundation
