How do you play a e flat scale on the trumpet?

Answer 1

If you know your circle of 5ths you know that the A-flat Major scale has 4-flats: B, E, A, D. The scale fingering is below:

A-Flat major scale, starting on the A-Flat below middle C:

A-flat (23), B-Flat (1), C (open), D-Flat (123), E-Flat (23), F (1), G (open), A-Flat (23)

Continuing up another octave:

A-Flat (23), B-Flat (1), C (open), D-Flat (12), E-Flat (2), F (1), G (open), A-Flat (23)

If you are looking for the A-Flat/ G-Sharp Natural Minor, it would be the relative minor of the B-Major scale. This means that the G-Sharp Minor scale has 5 sharps: F, C, G, D, A

G-Sharp minor scale, starting on the G below middle C:

G-Sharp (23), A-Sharp(1), B (2), C-Sharp (123), D-Sharp (2), E (12), F-Sharp (2), G-Sharp (23)

Continuing up another octave:

G-Sharp (23), A-Sharp(1), B (2), C-Sharp (12), D-Sharp (2), E (open), F-Sharp (2), G-Sharp (23)
