Playing Octaves on the Flute in E Flat Major

We have now learned all the notes from the E flat major scale. Let's review the scale one more time. This is a scale of E flat that we have learned in one octave. A octave is a group of notes from one E flat off to the next. You can see how we have learned this octave. For more advance players you can learn the scale in other octave because there is multiple E flats. Any distance between any 2 is a octave. So there the major scale can be played between E flats in any of the notes available to us. Here is a example of a second octave of a E flat scale. We also learned in the scale that the altered notes is B flat, E flat and A flat. This makes up the key signature of E flat major. So when you see this key signature you know to play a E flat major scale and those are the groups of notes that go along with it. I will now play some thing in E flat major. Here is a example of second octave. You can see it has a different range.
