Voice/Singing Grade 5: Scales & Arpeggios

Full-range scales and arpeggios; chromatic passages; melismatic exercises

What you'll learn

  1. 1

    Imagine a ladder 🪜 with rungs that go up and down — that's like a scale! Each rung is a note, and you sing them in order.

  2. 2

    Tap the notes to sing a C major scale going up from C to C.

  3. 3

    Let's sing a scale together — C major, going up and down. 🎤

  4. 4

    Now try an arpeggio! An arpeggio is like skipping every other rung on the ladder — sing Do-Mi-So-Do going up, then Do-So-Mi-Do going down.

  5. 5

    How many notes do you sing in a full scale going up and down?

  6. 6

    Sing the C major arpeggio: Do-Mi-So-Do (up) then Do-So-Mi-Do (down). Tap the notes as you sing!

  7. 7

    Which notes do you skip in a C major arpeggio compared to a scale?
