How do you a play a Bb major scale in thirds on the alto saxophone?

Question

In band class everyone seems to have this memorized and i don't even know how to play it at all!!! if you could just give me the notes in the order they're played for thirds on this scale, that'd be awesome!!!

Answer 1

G-B-A-C-B-D-C-E-F#-A-G

Answer 2

Didn't know if it was your Bb scale or Concert Bb.

What goes up must go down though.

Your Bb scale in thirds:

  ascending: Bb-D-C-Eb-D-F-Eb-G-F-A-G-Bb-A-C-Bb

  descending: Bb-G-A-F-G-Eb-F-D-Eb-C-D-Bb-C-A-Bb

Bb concert scale in thirds:

  ascending: G-B-A-C-B-D-C-E-D-F#-E-G-F#-A-G

  descending: G-E-F#-D-E-C-D-B-C-A-B-G-A-F#-G
