List of Musical Scales - My Music Theory
6 天之前 · Many students practise all their scales legato (smoothly) and only use other articulations such as staccato when preparing for an exam – this defeats the object somewhat! Play them smoothly, staccato, mezzo-staccato, with emotion, without emotion. It can be a hard task to play D major “sadly”: give it a try! Scales don’t need to be boring!
Scales in Any Clef (ABRSM Grade 5) - My Music Theory
There are no major scales which use both flats and sharps. All scales (major and minor) contain the following intervals above the tonic (keynote): Tonic-supertonic = major 2 nd; Tonic-subdominant = perfect 4 th; Tonic-dominant = perfect 5 th; All minor scales have a minor 3 rd above the tonic. All major scales have a major 3 rd above the tonic.
The Musical Modes - My Music Theory
In all major/minor keys, the note before the tonic is a semitone lower. By contrast, in all modal scales (except the Ionian and Lydian), the step up to the tonic is a tone lower. Thus, it is important to make sure your melody moves from the 7 th of the scale up by step to the tonic, ideally a number of times.
Chromatic Scales - My Music Theory
The scales you have studied up till now – major and minor – are in a group called “diatonic” scales. Diatonic scales all contain 7 notes and are firmly based on a key – and the keynote, or the first note of the scale, is the TONIC. Chromatic scales are not in any particular key.
Key Signatures - My Music Theory
These two keys are called “relative” keys – they share a key signature because they share almost all of the same notes in the scale. In sharp major keys, the sharp written furthest right in the key signature is the leading note , and the keynote or tonic is one semitone higher.
Major Scales with 6 Sharps/Flats - My Music Theory
Major Scales. All scales have something in common; they have a defined pattern of tones and semitones. All major scales are made up with the following pattern, where T=tone and S=semitone: T – T – S – T – T – T – S . The major scales in keys with up to five sharps/flats in them were introduced in earlier lessons.
Major Scales and Scale Degrees - My Music Theory
In fact, all major scales follow the same pattern of tones and semitones, so try to remember it! T – T – S – T – T – T – S. G, D and F Major Scales. In ABRSM Grade One music theory, you need to know about four major scales: C, G, D and F major. In Trinity Grade One music theory, you need to know about three major scales: C, G and F ...
Interval Qualities - My Music Theory
In a major key, all the intervals are either major or perfect. There are NO minor intervals in a major key (when the lowest note is the tonic). Here is the scale of C major, showing each interval type when the lowest note is the tonic: In all major scales, the unison, fourth, fifth and octave are PERFECT intervals. All the other intervals are ...

Major Scales with 7 Sharps/Flats - My Music Theory
Here are the ascending and descending C# major scales in treble and bass clefs. The key signature for C# major has seven sharps. It is very rare to find pieces of music written in C# major, but one example is this Prelude, from Bach’s Well-Tempered Klavier Book 1.
