Scales can be hard in different ways and depending on your strengths and weaknesses as a flautist, you may favour some scales over others. It’s hard to pick out one particular scale and say this is the hardest, partly because it’s subjective and everyone has a different opinion on what is hard. The scales on the ABRSM flute grade 8 syllabus are difficult for a variety of reasons. I would say the hardest scale on the flute grade 8 syllabus is C whole tone, 3 octaves. A third is the type of scale – major, minor, diminished etc. Another is how many octaves you have to play and how high you have to go. One is how many sharps and flats are in the key signature. There are a few different factors that make scales hard.
The scales you find easiest and hardest will, of course, vary between players, but there are definitely some that are harder than others. Some you’ll find harder than others and there might be particular ones that you hope will come up in your exam, as well as a few you really hope won’t. When you do grade exams on the flute, you have to learn loads of different scales and get tested on just a few of them.
