"We have now learned how to play all the notes in the C major scale on the flute. Let's review and I'm going to play them for you right now. Looking at the staff we can see we have C, D, E, F, G, A, B, and them up to middle C again. In the scale normally play the notes all the way up to pentatonic and then back down again. Let's hear how this sounds. This is one octave in a C major scale. A octave is between 1 tonic to the next so looking at the chart from C up to C. In the staff there is multiple octaves of C major that we can play. Let's look at the 2nd octave if the 1st one goes from low C up to middle C the 2nd octaves starts in low C and goes up to the next C. When players come advance then they can learn the 2nd octaves and how to play scales in 2 octaves. Until then working with 1 is best. "
