Lesson1 Music theory scale
Deer Teacher
lesson1 Ex 3.5 Major scale. I apply (step,step,half,step,step,step,half). IM not sure but I understand Ab replace Gsharp because double sharp its not good. You says we have 12 scales. On the chart Csharp is a scale, right? But I can replace Cshap scale by Dflat. Its working when I apply (step,step,half,step,step,step,half). Wich one is the right scale and whats happening with the signature?
Ok. Because we are harp player , the only sharp scale we whant create is F# ? The other is flat or (natural)
This is an example where each scale has the same number of flats as it does sharps, so it's up to the player to choose the key signature. In my experience (for all instruments) F# seems to be more common, but compositions do exist in Gb. As you know, they both sound the same, so it's up to the writer or performer of the song to choose which key signature is easier for them to think/play in.
F# G# A# B C# D# E# F# = Gb Ab Bb Cb Dd Eb F Gb
It's the same for C# and Db, you will see both used.
Excellent:)
thank you
its just an example.
I grab a sheet music A major and I whant to convert C major.
on my A major sheet, I found C middle range. I know C# is 3rd for A scale and E for C scale. If C ( A sheet music) is an half step lower from C# (3rd), I suppose its Eb on C scale. If its right !! Im only able to play at hi range (C scale).
I understand something?
You are correct, well done.
It is correct if I say lot of music is not really possible to convert for harmonica because we are a little limited ?
But sum music recquire more then one harp example '' orange blossom ''
thank you
You are correct, there are some songs or styles of music that are difficult for the diatonic harmonica to play.
Hello Nazarien. You are correct, at a certain point we switch from using sharps to flats to avoid double sharps.
The C# scale is the same as the Db scale. Some musicians like to think in sharps (string instruments) and some like to think in flats (brass for example), so this is why one scale is not always used.
This is generally just for C# and Db though... when you get to G# and beyond, flats are always used... so Ab is always used over sharps.
Does this fully answer your question?
