	Simple stepwise motion - just an ascending or descending scale. Although these exercises ascend and descend then terminate, you can repeat them as many times as you like. I find 1 repeat is usually enough, but when starting out try 3 or 4 repeats. When repeating, don't play the last note or it will be doubled. Try for a seamless transition from ascending to descending and descending to ascending. Concentrate on getting every note to have equal dynamics, duration, and clean technique. Go slow and only start building up speed as you can play the entire exercise cleanly in rhythm without making any mistakes.		Simple stepwise motion - just an ascending or descending scale.

		+	These exercises practice playing intervals within a scale. You ascend or descend through the scale in a ratchet-like motion, skipping some x number of notes, then jumping back a smaller amount, skipping only x-1 notes interval and repeating. This ensures all notes are played, while traversing the scale in a way that usually hits a few targeted intervals.
		+
	Although these are written almost like two separate exercises, you can play them one into the other. When doing so, note that the highest and lowest notes will be doubled. You can play them doubled, or drop one so your transitions only hit the high and low notes once.		Although these are written almost like two separate exercises, you can play them one into the other.
