How many notes is a tritonic scale made up of?

There is no such thing as a ''tritonic scale'', a tritone is an interval of six semitones (half an octave), hence the name ''tritone'' which means ''three tones''.


How many tones are on an octave scale on the piano?

That depends on whether it's a conventional scale or a different type of scale like a pentatonic scale [which ironically has 3 tones]. Most scales, from Do to Do, have five tones. For those who don't learn notes as do, re and mi, I mean from C to C etc. Oh, and also, I'm not sure why you specified the piano, as scales are just notes, therefore playable on any instrument in the same way. Though admittedly, it's easier to work out if you know the layout of a keyboard. _____________________________________________________ I assume you are asking about a major or minor scale, but there are different types, and how many tones also depends on if you count the high note above with the same letter as the lowest note. In a traditional MAJOR SCALE (a.k.a. Ionian), there are seven different letter names (and usually an eighth note is added with the same letter name, an octave higher than the first). If you start on C, the major scale is C, D, E, F, G, A, B (and C for the eighth note). You can start on any note, but you will get different letters). A pentatonic scale has FIVE tones (if you start on C, then the notes are C, D, E, G, A.... and again C which would make 6 tones if you count the high note). There are many other scales, but this should answer your question. ______________________________________________________ If we speak about TONES (not notes), there are 12 semitones, that is 6 tones between for example C and C of a higher octave in a standard major scale.

Origins of Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do?

This comes from solfege or solfeggio system which assigns each note a particular syllable. The notes 're' 'mi' 'fa' and 'la' come from syllables from words from the "Hymn of St John" written in the 8th century -'do, 'ti' and 'so' added later. Do of course refers to the C note. There is an advanced scale which also includes the sharp and flat notes (or black notes on a piano).


What do the FA do?

Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti is known as Solfège. Solfège (French), or Solfeggio (Italian), is a music education method for teaching pitch, particularly the relationship of tones inside a musical scale. Scales are the ordered succession of musical tones (pitches) in a given key from which you can build melodies and harmonies.There are several naming systems for identifying the sequence of scale tones (scale degrees): pitch frequency, alphabetical, and numbering systems, to name a few. Solfège is another naming system for identifying scale tones and is widely used to teach ear training and sight singing.The Solfège system assigns syllables to the notes of the scale, and this association of syllable to sound helps musicians mentally "hear" the sounds of the scale tones even before they have physically experienced the tone.For example, in the key of C Major, the Solfège follows:C D E F G A B CDo Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do


How many notes does a minor scale have?

8, the same as a major scale. (The last note name is the same as the first - one octave above.)


Is major keys the same with major scale?

They are not the same but are closely related. A scale is any series of notes that goes from a note to the same pitched note an octave higher or lower. So a scale goes from C to C, or from E flat to E flat, and so on. A major scale is a special scale pattern that forms the basis of most Western music. A major key is the key that the music is played in. For any given key, the default notes will be the notes in the major scale of the same name. So in the key of C major the default notes are the 7 notes in the C major scale, and in the key of E flat major the default notes are the 7 notes in the E flat major scale. To further clarify, the interval between the two C's or E flats is called an octave. There are twelve specific notes in the octave. lets start with A. (Some notes have two names and they will be given in parentheses (The symbol # is pronounced sharp, the symbol b is pronounced flat). The notes are A, (A#, Bb), B, C, (C#, Db), D, (D#, Eb), E, F, (F#, Gb), G, (G#, Ab). A major scale uses seven of those notes. They are the starting point, skip one, then skip again, then the next one, skip, skip skip. So if you start with C, you get C, D, E, F, G, A, B and end it with the note of the next octave, C. This makes eight, hence the name octave.

No. The name just implies it's a fundamental sequence of notes in music.


What is a pentamic scale?

It's a scale with only five notes, hence the name "pentamic"Scales usually have seven notes, but in the pentamic scale the 2nd and 6th notes are dropped, making five. For example: The C Major scale (C D E F G A B) would become C E F G B.On guitar, it's known as the Blues Box.
