<p>I don’t have anyone around to ask, so I might as well ask here.</p>
<p>I am practicing some scales on sax, and I wanted to check something; If I was to play, say the C scale to the 9th, I would go from C to D right? But if I played the scale in two octaves, would I go from C to D to E? Thanks.</p>
<p>D is the ninth of C.</p>

<p>Heaven, I know that, but if I went up another octave, would I go to the 9th of d, or just the next d up?</p>
<p>OK. you starting at low, low C (below the staff) or the regular C? just curious…</p>
<p>The octave of D is D. It doesn’t really matter what you do with the scale. Practice how you want.</p>
<p>I’m starting at C below the staff. I’m just wondering if this is how a 9th scale works.</p>
<p>Umm, I’ve never even heard of a ninth scale, that makes no sense. A scale goes from a note to an octave above.</p>
<p>This question doesn’t make sense to me. If you go from C to E as you say it’s just an ordinary two-octave major scale that extends two notes above the tonic.</p>
<p>Never heard of a ninth scale. I’ve heard of a ninth chord.</p>
<p>I’m basically the biggest music geek ever and I’ve never heard of a 9th scale. But it would be considered a “9th scale” if you played just one octave from middle C (the C one bar below the treble scale) to the next D in the next higher octave, but seriously that would sound rhythmically ■■■■■■■■. Even if you repeated the high D before descending…</p>
