Eb Gb A       0 3 6
Eb G A         0 2 6
Gb G A         0 1 3

The 013679 pitch class set is great when used over a dominant chord sound because of it's close associating with the half step, whole step scale also known as Symmetrical Diminished.  This book contains 90 pages of 8 note melodic sequences played over a three octave range. 

Suggest practice schedule: One page should be learned each day and applied to musical situations. 

This book will take 3 months to complete.    Some instruments may have less range and therefore should adjust as needed.  Written in treble clef and usable by any instrument.
