* Music Theory Basics:


Note, is a representation of sounds through symbols and words. Each sound in the scale has a name, which indicates its height and, depending on its duration, a graphic representation corresponds. Within the staff, only the symbol is written and, depending on where it is located, it indicates the pitch and, in turn, the name of the note. For example, a note located on the third line of the staff, in treble clef, represents a B. Each duration symbol also has a nomenclature, such as white or black.

If we ignore the duration of each one and start from the C scale, the name of the notes would be C, D, E, F, G, A, B and C again. The distance that separates two notes of the same name is called the octave. According to its value in time, the musical pause that each note intrinsically possesses is called silence, and just as each sound duration corresponds to a specific symbol, a symbol of silence corresponds to the same period of time without sound.

Scale: In the field of musical scale, the arrangement, by raising or lowering a tonal series, of the notes used in a musical system. The sonorous character of a given scale depends on the size and sequence of the intervals between its successive notes.

** DIATONIC SCALES At least since the Middle Ages, the scales of Western music have been diatonic scales, which can be exemplified by the white keys of the piano. These scales have a repeated series of semitones (in the white keys, E-F and B-C) and whole tones (between the other pairs of adjacent notes).

They have seven notes per octave (the eighth note in these series is simply the repetition of the first, but placed one octave higher). The major and minor scales have dominated Western music since around 1650 and are, strictly speaking, two modes of the basic diatonic scale: the Ionian mode, represented by the series C, D, E, F, G, A, b (and do), which has become the major scale; and the aeolian mode, represented by the series a, si, do, re, mi, fa, sol (and la), which has become the minor scale.

Both modes sound different because of the different placement of the semitones in them. Medieval and folk music modes are formed in a similar way, but starting from different points (D to D, G to G, etc.). A mode is, in a sense, a scale, but the concept of scale is less complex. The essential part of a major or minor scale or mode is its characteristic intervallic pattern, which can be reproduced from any pitch; for example, G, A, B, C, D, E F sharp (and G). To do this, you must add notes beyond the seven that the white keys of the piano have (in this example, the F sharp, a black key note on the piano).

As the major-minor key system developed, the natural minor scale underwent two modifications. The strong tendency to have a semitone that resolves upward in the tonic note (e.g. G-sharp A) led to the harmonic minor scale: A, B, C, D, E, F, G-sharp (and A). ). This new sensitive note (here, G sharp), however, created an irregular interval (the one from F to G sharp) that was not appreciated in the melodies. The melodic minor scale softens this offensive interval by increasing another note by one semitone when acting in an ascending direction - A, B, C, D, E, F sharp, G sharp (and A) - but it does not have a sensible note in its form. descending, so it acquires the character of the natural minor scale—a, sol, fa, mi, re, do, si (and la).
