Choose the musical material
Work on major, minor, major pentatonic or minor pentatonic scales across all twelve keys.
Guided scale practice
Practise saxophone scales in all 12 keys.
Choose a scale family, key and pattern, build control in training mode, then evaluate the result and track your progress.
- Four scale families
- All 12 keys
- Diatonic, thirds and fourths
A clear progression loopMove from controlled repetitions to a scored session instead of running through the same scale without a goal.
Practise with a target
Every scale session answers one question.
Which family, which key, which pattern and at what tempo? SaxoTools makes those choices explicit so progress becomes easier to repeat.
Change the movement
Use diatonic motion, thirds or fourths to develop technique beyond a simple up-and-down scale.
Measure the session
Set a tempo, play in evaluation mode and use the score and history to choose what comes next.
How it works
Build accuracy before chasing speed.
Select a family and key
Choose the exact scale you want to strengthen rather than practising at random.
Train the pattern
Start at a controlled tempo and repeat until fingering and sound feel stable.
Evaluate and progress
Complete a scored session, review the result and raise the challenge deliberately.
Scales
Four families, twelve keys, three movements.
The scale library is built around practical combinations that support technique, reading, ear training and improvisation.
- Major and minor scales
- Major and minor pentatonic scales
- Diatonic, thirds and fourths patterns
- Tempo, score and progress history
Built for saxophone practice
For foundations, auditions and everyday technique.
Newer players can stay with one family and a comfortable key. Advanced players can rotate keys, patterns and tempos to expose weak spots quickly.
