Lesson 6 - Major Scales I | |||||
Terms:
A scale represents the tonal material used in a musical composition. There are many different scale types which are distinguished by the number of tones they contain and by the pattern of intervals in which the tones are organized. Each of the successive tones in a scale is referred to as a scale degree. The first scale degree, called the tonic, is considered to be the most important of a scale's tones. A scale's name includes the letter-name of its tonic and a reference to its interval pattern and/or number of tones. Example 6-1
