SCE-01 C Major Scale Exercises

About this resource

This lesson plan will give your student various exercises on the C Major Scale. The exercises are designed to teach your student to really think about the notes used and to learn to expand the exercises to other areas of the fretboard.

The following exercises are included:

  • Straight up and down the fretboard
  • Thirds
  • Fourths
  • Fifths
  • Sixths
  • Sevenths
  • String Skipping
  • String by String

Once your student completes these exercises, ask them to try the exercises again starting in a different area of the fretboard. Playing the exercises as written is good, but once your student learns to take the concepts behind each exercise and apply that to new areas of the neck, they will start to develop.

WNR-01 Random Notes C Major Scale

About this worksheet

This worksheet will give your student practice reading both standard notation and Guitar TAB. They will learn to recognize the notes in the C Major Scale across the first four frets on the guitar. They will also have practice in writing in the correct notes in the staff as well as in Guitar TAB. This will be the first time many students have properly studied written music so encourage your student to take their time and not to worry if they make mistakes.

Worksheets like this one works best if you give it to the student at the end of a lesson and ask them to try to fill it out during the week and bring it back in next lesson. This will give them a chance to figure out the answers on their own and you can provide essential feedback in the next lesson. An Answer Key is provided if you need it.
