it was a multifaceted question and multifaceted misunderstanding on a few counts, I just think scales could be taught rudimentally, molecularly, then cellularly,etc. or in terms of layers. I feel like there are also some things that should ne clarified and repeated, or maybe I am counting things strangely.. I think the "number" of notes in a scale should be less relevant considering mixo- scales and any form of chromaticism or ambiguity, or also with any type of scale it's essentially 2 or 3 steps in groups of 3 or 4 half and whole steps, divisible into any amount of notes between 5 and 17 ish steps, but..

teaching should be more rudimenary and hands on at low level. can play any scale without much need to know if something, an actual player's representation could be thought of as picking groups of 3 or four half steps of 3 or 4 in many arrangements makes any scale

essentially it's just elemetals of groups of whole or half steps in almost any combination, whether we're regarding groups of 3 and four making a nice group of 3 or 4, the scales work that way in major scale, should be wwhwwwhw as two groups of 4 steps... Lydian is nice
