scales
I play an instrument in band and I have to learn like a lot of scales. I already know 6 but I have to know 6 more. When I first memorized the 6 scales i know now, i only memorized them by like the fingerings---not the notes. But I know the notes now. And now i need to know how to memorize these other scales and kinda fast. Is there some logical way to know them just by thinking about it or do you have to actually memorize every single sharp/flat in all the scales?? Whats the most efficient way to memorize them?

Maybe give some free advice about: Music?
I play oboe so my scales sometimes become really technical, but not to worry.
Every day, memorize one scale. Start with the easier ones, then the next day, memorize another one, and review the first one. Eventually you will have all of em down pat.
I know it sounds overwhelming sometimes but it isn't that hard to learn scales.
I also suggest printing a copy of the "circle of fourths and fifths" off google or something. If you can play the circle, you've got it.
One more thing, figure out whether you read music better in sharps or flats. There are 3 enharmonic scales. ex: C# and D flat, F# and G flat etc.
Take your time and you will eventually learn all of them.
Hope I helped

The first 6 are the easy ones. Now is when it gets tricky. Unfortunately, the easiest, best, and most efficient way to do it is memorization. Memorization can get really hard, (I could only get to 9) but there just isn't a better way to do it. A second option is to practice A LOT. If you practice way too much, sometimes you can just play the scales without even thinking about them. Your fingers will just move to the right places on their own. Good luck. :)
