What does it mean when someone calls you sweetie?
The person likes you. this means the person is being nice to you some ppl take it in other ways also
"Sweetie" or "Sweetheart" is a term of endearment. Often, people will use the term when they don't really mean it, such as when they work in a service job such as waitress or grocery clerk ("Do you want fries or baked potato, sweetie?"). You can also use the term toward small children.
What is the major scale with B as the only natural?
F# major has 6 sharps (F, C, G, D, A, E) and only B is natural.
What is the parallel minor of B Major?
Fo Sure its G sharp. remember, if you don't know, the minor is always 3 semitones down.
What are some ways you can remember where you left something?
Ask People! Mentally "retracing" your steps--What did you do before what you're doing now? And before that? It's often futile to start looking for the object arbitrarily. think first: When and where did I see it/ use it last?
Are there any Christmas songs in A-flat major?
Christmas carols can generally be transposed into any key.
Why does key of g major use one sharp instead of one flat?
Because you can't have G and Gb in the same scale. The note names come from the progression A, B, C, D, E, F, G and you have to have one (and only one) member of each of those note name groups to properly name the notes of a Major scale.
That way we can make sense of all the enharmonic equivalents you come by in the 15 different key signatures (C Major, plus 7 sharp keys and 7 flat keys).
What is the interval of a scale?
An interval is the distance between two pitches. These intervals are measured in half-steps and whole steps. For example, a half-step is like C to Db. A whole step would be C to D.
A major scale is made up of these steps as so:
C MAJOR
Whole step, Whole step, Half step, Whole step, Whole step, Whole step, Half step.
C to D, D to E, E to F, F to G, G to A, A to B, B to C
WWHWWWH
You may have noticed that from E to F and from B to C it was a half step just as if it were from C to Db. This is because these pitches are simply a half step away from each other.
What would an all double sharp key signature be?
First it would depend on the number of double-sharps in the key signature. Since any fewer than 7 double-sharps in the key signature would create a mode other than major or the natural minor, we would have to begin with 7 double-sharps. This would effectively raise every note in the C Major scale up one whole step giving us C double-sharp major. Note that this particular key signature would be impractical to read since C double-sharp Major is enharmonic with D Major which only has one sharp.
What is the dominant and subdominant arpeggio for the A major scale?
D major(D,F#,A,D) for sub domonant, and E major(E,G#,B,E) for dominant
Nope. Vermont is from the French for "green mountain," and the state is slopping over with relief.
F--K (place a UC where the dashes are) is a swear word, a cuss, a strong exclamatory word that is used in many ways and with many different purposes:
- most often refers to sex. Ex: I f--ked my girlfriend, we made sweet love together.
- An angry exclamation. Ex:What the F--k!? or to tweeters, WTF!?
- A happy exclamation. Ex: I just won the Lotto!?Get the F--ck out!
- If something is broken. Ex: My computer has been F--ked up ever since I spilled water all over it.
- Telling someone to go away. Ex: F--ck you, I don't want to hear about it!
- As an adjective when you are angry/feel strongly about something. Ex: she was acting like a F--kin police officer the way she bossed us around.
- ... and many other ways. It is a very old and very versatile word.
F--K would seem to come from the German word, ficken, meaning to strike.
A related word is the Middle Dutch, focken, which means much the same.
The same word in French is "foutre", so it seems there is a common root somewhere, perhaps in the Latin word, futuere, or the Latin word Facere which means to make or do.
Others have claimed it is a corruption of the word "fecund", which means fruitful.
There are some who claim it stands for "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge", but this is a myth.
The word it is certainly not used in polite conversation. It is the slang term for having sex, and is considered very vulgar.
The word F*CK has been around since the 15th century. According to the alt.usage.English FAQ:

Which major scale contains two white keys but only one natural note?
F#(F sharp)/Gb(G flat) major. If it is written in F# major the notes of the scale are F# (black), G# (black), A# (black), B natural (white), C# (black), D# (black), E# (white), F#(black). If written in Gb major the notes of the scale are Gb (black), Ab (black), Bb (black), Cb (white), Db (black), Eb (black), F natural (white), Gb (black). Keep in mind that both scales contain the exact same pitches but are just written with different note names.

What is the definition of a relative minor?
The relative minor of a key signature is the key three semitones, and two letter names, below the major key in question. For example, the relative minor of A major is F# minor (three semitones, two letter names down).
The relative minors of the correpsonding major keys are as follows:
C - A minor
Db - Bb minor
D - B minor
Eb - C minor
E - C# minor
F - D minor
G# - Eb minor
G - E minor
