Basic Lesson : Major Scale

Hi all,Here I want to share one that plg basic learning within the music; Major Scale.
must have been many who know and understand what Major Scale. But for those who do not understand, summarize it in the language that the Major Scale 'in Indonesia' means Nada Major Appliances. Major scale which here means 'main'. like the foundation of the building, Major Scale is the foundation of the music, it's very important to learn as he later would become a benchmark for determining the formula or the formula for another Scale2, triads, arpeggios, and other material other in music is rooted in the 

Major Scale.

Ok here it is Major Scale, do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-si-do '(nah right udh someone know hehe ..) where there are 7 tones that are very familiar in our ears. With notation numbers mean 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-1 '. we start with the C Major Scale. C Major Scale mean C-D-E-F-G-A-B-C. we saw in the distance piano tones per tone, there is a distance of tone 1 (whole) sample; distance tones C to D, G to A. and some half-tone distance (half) as E to F and B to C. so later in the order of distance formula can tune; 1-1-1/2-1-1-1-1/2 or wwhwwwh.

Now consider the formula is the mean distance wwhwwwh 1 (do) to 2 (re) is a tone (w). Distance 2 (re) to 3 (mi), the tone (w) as well. Distance 3 (mi) to 4 (fa) is a half-tone (h). and so on, so that we can look within the image below            

                                        

*note to 8 it is' do 'as well, but one octave higher, usually replaced by 1'

By understanding the tone of the distance formula, we can play a Major Scale on the basic tone (do) the other, for example, we will play the G Major Scale. if we do not know, maybe we'll spell the G Major Scale like this; GABCDEF-G '. so straight aja appropriate degree (order) it. And that is in fact not the G Major Scale. Because the distance is not appropriate formula. let us consider satu2 distance;

   w w w w h h w
  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 '
G - A - B - C - D - E - F - G '

above we see the distance E to F is a half tone (h), while the Major Scale formula requires 6 to 7 range tones are 1 tone (w). well here we have to adjust again the distance, the way to raise the tone of his half-tone F. It can be done with one function signs Accidental (Accidental Sign). Sign Accidental there are three kinds, namely;

1. Sharp sign (#) or sharps in the Indonesian language. function is to raise half a tone.
2. The flat sign (b) or moles in the Indonesian language. function to lower half tone.
3. Natural signs. function to restore to its original tone.



example: C note our half-tone into tone Rev C # (C sharp), G up half-finished G #, etc.
Another example B we derive a half, so the tone Bb (B flat), E dropped half-tone Eb, etc. Natural signs we discussed on another occasion. this way we are also familiar with the term Enharmonis, two of his monotone sound, but different names.



Example: F # = Gb C # = Db (* see picture above the piano keys again)



So with this accidental mark, we not only have 7 tones only in music, but 12 tone / key called Chromatic (Chromatic Scale). as well as Major Scale, Chromatic scale is also, which have half the distance formula in every note.

                        

Now back to G Major Scale td. By raising F to F #, then we can distance the right tone


   w w w w w h h
  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 '
G - A - B - C - D - E - F # - G '

so if the G Major Scale, tone to the 7 (si) it is not F lg, but that really is the tone of F #. thus its impact later when the material further, we are not going wrong. That is like this, take for instance the example in the matter of Arpeggio (* a detailed discussion about the arpeggio on another occasion) brief explanation Major 7 Arpeggio formula is 1-3-5-7 (meaning we only played to the tune Do, Mi, Sol, Si) , if we play the tones C is easy to cite the contents of his tone is; CEGB, well if we change its basic tone to G, if basic Major Scale, we 'do not understand', maybe we'll play it like this GBDF. obviously it's wrong, because it should tone to 7 (si) of the G major scale is F #. so G major 7th arpeggio correct the G-B-D-F #. This discussion does not matter basic arpeggio, but here I am trying to illustrate the importance of understanding the Major Scale, just as I said at the beginning :)



Now we take the example of Major Scale on the other tones, such as F Major Scale. appropriate if we misspelled his degree like this happens;

   w w w w w h h
  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 '
F - G - A - B - C - D - E - F '

obviously this is not the F Major Scale, now we adjust by lowering the tone B to Bb,

    w w w w w h h
  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 '
F - G - A - Bb - C - D - E - F '

so in F Major Scale, tone to 4 (fa) it is a Bb.

  Up here it seems we see there are 2 kinds of its key benchmark; Key of Sharp & Key of Flat. G Major Scale is also called the Major Scale 1 #, because the contents are one sign of Sharp's tone is the tone F #. while the F Major Scale is also called the Major Scale 1b, as in F Major Scale there is one sign the flat, the tone of Bb. Major Scale and are contained until 7 sharp (#), and 7 flats (b) as well.

If you need to while we sing tone, it will be more fun for us to practice. so it is not like chasing rote system with racing last night: D
