How many notes are the in the pentatonic scales?

There are 7 notes in a heptatonic scale. Heptatonic scales are the major and all minor scales including the 7 diatonic scales which are those consisting of 5 whole steps and 2 half steps separated by either 2 or 3 whole steps.

What is the dominant in the scale of B Major?

The dominant is the 5th tone in the scale. In a D Major scale, the dominant is A.

What is the symbol for a sharp in music?

A slanted Hash.. Dont have a hash on my keyboard so can't show you :p

What is the difference between A flat and B flat?

The difference between A and B in music is that A music is in a higher pitch than B and is harder to play.

What interval is b to e sharp?

E flat consists of 3 flats, B flat, E flat and A flat. E flat to B flat would be a perfect 5th interval as B flat is in E flat major, but because your question was E flat to B, B is a semitone up from B flat, this would mean the interval becomes a semitone larger, and a semitone larger from a perfect interval is augmented. Therefore, the answer to your question is an augmented 5th. Hope this helps :)

How do you play the G minor scale on the clarinet?

The Key signature for A Major has three sharps: F, C and G. Therefore the notes are A- B - C# - D - E - F# - G# - A. Two octaves are possible on the clarinet. Reverse the order for descenting.

What chord is comprised of FBD sharp and G sharp?

F diminished 7, B diminished 7, D diminished 7, and G# diminished 7 will all have these same four notes.

F diminished ( Fdim )

It's actually an F whole diminished 7th chord. It would be an F diminished chord if there were no 'd' in the cord. Also, the correct way to spell the chord would actually be like this:

F-Ab (not G#)-Cb (not B)-Ebb (not D).

All the pitches are correct, just not their names. Any F triad with any kind of 7th attached will be some alteration of the notes F-A-C-E. This is how people quickly identify chords based on the root.

Hope that helps! just thought that would improve the answer a little bit.

ANSWER:

G#dim7

Which major scale has most sharps?

A♯, B♯, Cx (double sharp), D♯, E♯, Fx (G), Gx (A) and back to A♯.

It is much simpler to use B♭ Major, which goes:

B♭, C, D, E♭, F, G, A and B♭.

What sharps or flats does the F major scale have?

There are 3.

The scale notes are: A B C# D E F# G# and then back to A

so the 3 sharps are C#, F# and G#.

All major scales are a pattern of whole steps and half steps so if you know this pattern then even if you are not a musician you can play every major scale on a piano.

Just start with the note that begins the scale, in this case 'A'.

The pattern is 2 whole steps, then a half step, then 3 whole steps, and another half step back to the beginning note (an octave higher). On a piano, the whole steps (no matter what note you start from) are 2 keys apart.

From A to B there is a black note in between, this is a whole step. From B to C is only a half step (there is no black note in between) so you have to jump to C# (the black note to the right of C), then we come to the first half step, from C# to D (the white note immediately to the right)... and so on.

What is the most common musical scale?

A Musical Scale is a rising or lowering series of notes or pitches, as opposed to a cycle of intervals [the distance between two notes] which is a musical form. Each note in a scale is referred to as a scale degree. Though the scales from musical traditions around the world are often quite different, the pitches of the notes in any given scale are usually related by a mathematical rule. Scales are theoretical constructs which may be used to control a composition, but much music is written without any scale in mind. Scales may be described as tonal, modal, diatonic, derived or synthetic, and by the number of tones included.

What key signature has 5 flats?

D flat major, or b flat minor. The flats are B, E, A, D and G, in that order.

What interval is a to e flat?

It's a Double Diminished Fourth.

Rename A# to Bb (or Db to C#) and you have the more common Minor Third. Change them both and you get an Augmented Second. They all sound the same (in equal temperament tuning at least).

What is 5 F of an F?

5f in mathematical terms means -5 multiplied by 'f',so 5f is 5 whole units-as is 5a or 5x1?

What are chords in the major scale?

The C Major scale is a musical scale beginning and ending on the note C.

In ascending order (going up) the notes are:

C D E F G A B C

The pattern of whole and half steps is:

W W H W W W H

The major scale has a bright sound, which differs from the minor scale which has a dark sound. Most music is based on these two scales.

Major and minor refer to the tonality of the scale or chord. The I-note (tonic?) of the major scale has a major tonality to it. However, so does the lydian (IV) and the mixolydian (V). The dorian (II), phrygian (III), and the aeolian (VI) scales are minor in tonality. The locrian scale (VII) has a diminished sound or feel to it.

I C - Ionian, natural C D E F G A B C major

II D - Dorian, b3 b7 C D Eb F G A Bb C minor

III E - Phrygian, b2 b3 b6 b7 C Db Eb F G Ab Bb C minor

IV F - Lydian, #4 C D E F# G A B C major

V G - Mixolydian, #4 #7 C D E F# G# A B C major

VI A - Aeolian, b3 b6 b7 C D Eb F G Ab Bb C minor

VII B - Locrian, b2 b3 b5 b6 b7 C Db Eb F Gb Ab Bb C diminished

Try playing a typical I-IV-V chord progression (in this example, C - F - G) and play the different scales over it and you'll hear the mood or feel that each scale imparts.

How fast do grade 4 piano scales have to be?

What is the most depressing key in music?

The minor keys are usually employed for downbeat sound. However, if you want a more in depth answer, it gets more complicated (Music Theory students this is for you).

The C minor can usually be made to sound sad, but it is also used sometimes to give the image of hopeless love. D-flat major is usually used when grieving and D minor is a more subtle sadness. Then D-sharp minor is a more inward, phantom-like sadness, full of fear and despair. Variations of D are not generally very happy keys. D-flat minor can also sound creepy and scary too. E major and E minor are both very sad keys; E major has the characteristic of loss of hope and E minor sounds very dark and angry. F major has a cold icy feel to it (it gives the image of having to accept what you can't have) and there's also F minor, which has a miserable and depressed sound to it, and F-sharp minor, which is not necessarily sad, but it is pouty and unsatisfied. F-sharp Major has a grumpy, sour feel to it and G minor was the key Mozart used to express tragedy. Skipping to A-flat major, here is the Grim Reaper's messenger; this key is used when implying death or thoughts of death, not suicidal, mind you, but tearful release and A-flat major also has a longing feel to it. When A-flat is in minor, it brings feelings of struggling, almost desperate striving. A major is also quite sad, but more of a subtle sadness like D minor. B-flat minor involves more self-anguish and anger towards self, the kind of key that curses at the world and everything in it. B major is a powerful key for screaming despair and sadness to the world; however, it is not always the best for sadness, since it is power in general, also used in envy and rage, and B major also signifies the feeling of being lost. Finally B minor was once regarded as the key of passive suffering and out of all these I personally think E major is the worst key to listen to, it brings me tears whenever I hear it.

Those should be all the different shades sadness found in different keys. As mentioned, minor keys are usually sad keys, but like with any language, there are exceptions. For example, A minor is a key of gentleness and kindness, rather than sadness. Anyway, these are not all the musical keys possible and they are arranged alphabetically starting from C, rather than by the circle of fifths, but here's hoping you found what you were looking for!

Different types of scales?

In the field of mathematics, scale is very important because it is used in measurement. It has four types; (1) the nominal or the scale that differentiates the two items, (2) ordinal scale that allows for rank orders, (3) interval scale that is in the degree of difference of items, and (4) the ratio type used in the estimation of the ratio of the continuous quantity.

How many notes are in an A two octave scale?

How many b flats are on a piano?

If you are talking about key signatures Bb major has 2bs but Bb minor has 5bs.

How many flats are there in G minor?

None. If you are playing in G Major there is only one sharpe ( F) no flats. But if you play in E Minor there is one flat ( E ).

G Major ( notes/tones) : G, A , B , C , D , E , Fsharpe ,G

E Minor ( notes/tones ) : E , Fsharpe , G , A , B , Csharpe , Eflat , E

****D is replaced by E flat when playing in the key E Minor****

What are the half steps in the key of B flat?

There are two half-steps in the key of b: D to E flat and A to B flat.

Which scale minor has 2 sharps?

There are 3 sharps in A major. How do I know? First you must understand that F C G D A E B are all the sharps. If A major has 3 sharps the last sharp would be G sharp. Then don't skip any black keys or white and just go to the right one step. So G sharp go to the right is A and that is your scale. The first note of the scale like example C is the name of the scale.

Note: The key of C major has No sharps or flats and therefore has No key signature!

P'S. I hope my advice helps.

B flat on guitare?

G flat, which is the same as F sharp is played by holding down 1,2,3 and 5

The production of the note is dependent on the number 4 key being released while the 5 key is held.
