Scales and Key Signatures

The key of E major and its relative minor, c sharp minor, both have four sharps. Additionally, key signatures apply to all music not just the piano and remain the same regardless of instrument. When referring to the piano the term "key" usually refers to on of the actual white or black keys that are pressed down to make a sound of the corresponding pitch. Each key on the piano is attached to a hammer that hits a string inside the instrument, thus the piano's classification as a percussion instrument. The strings are of different lengths and thicknesses, creating the different pitches. Each key on the piano is responsible for one pitch. Therefore a single key on the piano cannot "have four sharps", as you asked.

In a melodic minor scale, the 6th and 7th degree of the scale is raised up 1 half step on the way up the scale. On the way back down the scale, the 6th and 7th are back down to the natural form of the minor.

The relative major to c minor is Eb major.

There are 3 sharps. F, C, and G. You can figure this out by knowing the order of the sharps: F, C, G, D, A, E, and B. Or, Fullerton College Gets Dull And Extremely Boring. You go to the the last sharp in the scale and go one step down. EX: In E Major, you go one step down from E, giving you D. So you know that there's F, C, G, and D sharp.

C Major, zero flats and zero sharps. The minor scale with the same number of flats and sharps is A Minor.

The 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 degrees of a major scale. For example, an F pentatonic has the notes F, G, A, C and D.

D, F, A and D

The supertonic triad in the key of A flat major is B flat, D flat, and F natural

C major

The relative minor of Eb Major is C minor.

Higher range- 4 (G), 2 (A), 1 (B flat), 3 (C), 1 (D), 2 (E), 1 (F)

***To find the arpeggio you take the note that you start with and you play every other note in the scale. when you get to the top you hold as a half note and go back down....***

The arpeggio in this scale would be- 4 (G) , 1 ( B flat), 1 (D higher than B flat lower than high F), 1(F)*two count hold*,1 (D higher than B flat lower than high F), 1 ( B flat), 4 (G)

7 notes are in the major scale. Example: The C major scale would be C, D, E, F, G, A, B, and C again, which is 8 notes when played, but technically the C wouldn't be counted twice so you only end up with 7 different tones. The G major scale would be the same and so on. Example: G, A, B, C, D, E, F#(G)

A 10th-Century monk named Guido came up with names for notes, originally using the first syllables of successive phrases of a song of his day. The text of the song goes

UT queant laxis

REsonare fibris

MIra gestorum

FAmuli tuorum

SOLve poluti

LAbii reatum

Sancte Iohannes

This was the origin of a scale going from UT up to LA. UT was later changed to DO so it would be an open syllable (ut gets clunky if you string the notes together). When they needed a note higher than LA, they took the initials of "Sancte Iohannes" (meaning Saint John) and named the next note SI. Although some countries still use SI as the 7th, it was changed to TI in some places so that each note name would start with a different consonant (because the 5th SO or SOL already starts with S).

The above is, of course one part of the story. The (UT)DO-RE-MI-etc. scale is one pattern of notes, with whole steps and half steps in particular places. It is also referred to as one mode of Medieval music. By starting on a different note and having the half-steps at different places, you get a different mode. later on, most music was being composed using the scale based on DO, and most of the rest was using LA. These came to be called Major and Minor scales. But these are not the only two scales.

This interval is an example of a tone (as opposed to a semitone).

That's a C major or C Ionian scale or D Dorian E Phrygian F Lydian G Mixolydian A Aeolian B Locian etc...

The notes are

F-G-Ab-Bb-C-Db-E-F

It is quite easy to form a harmonic minor scale.

Begin with the Tonic Major (in this case, F major). F-G-A-Bb-C-D-E-F

Flatten the 3rd and the 6th notes by one semitone In this case A becomes Ab and D becomes Db.

The descending notes in the harmonic scale are the same as the ascending notes (but obviously in reverse!) so F-E-Db-C-Bb-Ab-G-F

Well, here are all the scales with flats in them.

* You have to use your lips to get to a low, low Eb in 3rd position, unless if you have a bass Trombone.

* 3rd position sharp means to put the slide in between 2nd and 3rd position.

Snce they are two octave scales, some of those notes are waaay high and you might not be able to reach them.

If u have any other questions about the Trombone, scales, or music, I would be happy to answer them. :)

Usually are yellow and diamond-shaped, with black lettering or symbols.

A pentatonic scale has five notes per octave.

*The water jug is always filled up

*Pencils are always sharpened on your desk

*extra twinkies

*Your chair spins faster

*His fly is always down

*his shoes are on the wrong feet

*Hair combed over

*dances to the food counter

*cartwheels back to the desk

You're question may be unanswerable. Because the authors of the majority of the books in the Bible are anonymous or undetermined. Search the web yourself to verify. It will only say "traditionally ascribed to" so-and-so, but will not definitely confirm it.

Shankara was a key person in HInduism. Shankara was born in Kerala and took sannyasa as a youth. Shankara is often considered an incarnation of Shiva. His contemporary followers in the UK include the Ramakrishna Mission.

No you cannot. You would have surpassed the requirements of the minor. Besides, the minor should enhance the primary degree.
