For example in the very first bar of the first exercise, I could have used Eb instead of D#, however if that was the case then the second note would have needed a natural sign for the E, followed by a further flat sign for the next note. Obviously you donвЂ™t want to run before you can walk!ДЄs usual I have followed a convention of using sharps for ascending passages and flats for descending, except where it complicates the look. These exercises are all based around the chromatic scale so itвЂ™s a good idea to first learn theВ scale before studying these exercises.
