Sets of musical notes to practise (6)

I believe the answer is:

scales

(Other definitions for scales that I've seen before include "Fish flakes or weighing instruments" , "Sign of the Zodiac - actor" , "Sets of musical notes - balanced on a fish?" , "Measuring instrument for weighing" , "a number of small plates" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
