The Blues Scale is a bit of a strange one? No second note, no sixth note and a run of three chromatic notes somewhere in the middle! Unlike Major and minor scales which have been around for aeons The Blues Scale really just showed up in The Southern United States towards the end of the nineteenth century but its effect upon music and culture has been immeasurable. It can equally claim to be The Jazz Scale, The Rock Scale, The Funk Scale, The Soul Scale or The Reggae Scale. The music of The twentieth (and twenty first) century would sound very different had newly invented recording technology not created a situation in which the scale was able to extend its influence beyond its Southern roots. Blues Scales can be a tricky concept to get over to music students but the worksheets available here can help to make it much easier.
I cannot stress enough that study of Blues Scales should be introduced at the right stage of a music theory programme and that to look at them too early (before students fully understand note naming, whole and half step intervals and scale construction) will most probably result in confusion and the often expressed opinion that "music theory is too difficult"
There is more to this than our Blues Scale Worksheets though......?
