I will be building on this list as time continues, with more requests for customised scales.
Enjoy the journey!
The scales listed here are grouped by the feelings they evoke when playing them. There are many options and variations for each scale and not all are listed. If you can’t find what you are looking for please write to me to find out more.
As music has the power to shift the landscape of one’s emotions, I have categorised the different musical scales into ‘atmospheres’; the ambience and feeling that the instrument could have on the player and listener. Experiencing a particular scale satiates a need we have for a desired emotion, which produces a cathartic effect on the self.
