Hey there,

Bb Scale = Bb C D Eb F G A Bb

So that was simple and to the point!.!.!.!. Does not matter which flute you play, it is all the sameWww@QuestionHome@Com

The scale advise you've receive is correct!. However, I question your having a Bb flute!. I've been a band director for 20 years and have never seen a Bb flute!. I'm sure one exists but it would be rare!. Play a Bb on your flute and then a Bb on piano!. If its the same note then you have a C flute, which is the most common!. If when you play a Bb on you flute and you have to play an Ab on the piano to match pitch, then you do have a Bb flute!. What you might have is a flute with a B foot, which means that it is a C flute with an extra key allowing you to extend your lowest note to a B instead of the normal low C!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It depends!.
The major Bb scale for anything is: Bb-C-D-Eb-F-G-A-Bb
However, the concert Bb scale for a flute in the key of Bb would be: C-D-E-F-G-A-B-CWww@QuestionHome@Com
