Are their seven notes in a musical scale?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

the words for the notes of the musical scale are

do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti, do. In that order. the lowest note of the scale is the first 'do' and then each note goes up one pitch from there.

the most common notes for the scale in letter form are 'c, d, e, f, g, a, b, c.' Each of the notes corresponds with the word in its spot. It is also with the same pitch as that note.

the words for the scale always stay the same no matter what scale they are put with. But there are many different scales you can play. Each has its own letters for the notes. some scales go higher or lower that the most common scale.

Not close. Musical tempo is sometimes indicated by a metronome setting which

is beats per minute. Often it is only indicated by an Italian word to indicate

speed, such as scherzo, presto, allegro, moderato, lento, largo and so forth.

The bottom figure of the time signature determines the duration of a beat. When the bottom number is 4 (2/4, 3/4 etc.), a quarter note takes a beat. If the bottom number is 2 (2/2, 3/2 etc.), the duration of a beat is a half note.

What are the Values of the notes?

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on what time signature you're in, and therefore which note gets the beat. The most common time signature is 4/4 in which the quarter note gets the beat and there are four beats per measure. In that time signature the breakdown would be:

Whole Note/Whole Rest = 4 beats (a full measure)

Half Note/Half Rest = 2 beats (half a measure)

Quarter Note/Quarter Rest = 1 beat ( 1/4 of a measure)

Eighth Note/Eighth Rest = 1/2 a beat ( 1/8 of a measure)

Sixteenth Note/Sixteenth Rest = 1/4 a beat ( 1/16 of a measure)

And you can continue on subdividing the beat into smaller values. Then there are dotted notes/rests, which look exactly as the sound: one of the above notes/rests with a dot next to it. This dot indicates that you add half of the note's value to it. So a dotted quarter note would be 1 beat + 1/2 a beat (an eighth note) in 4/4.
