Music scale in flat and sharp.
In this article we will tell you about music scale.
There are many scales in music one of these scale is the “chromatic scale”. All
tones in the chromatic scale are ½ step apart. The chromatic scale consist of
all the white and black keys in an octave from key c to c. you know what an
octave is, if not you can click the link octave to get it clear. Below
is a clear example of an octave using the keyboard as an illustration.
We are using the keyboard as an example in this
article since it is one of the instrument with clear diagram. We are going to
use the diatonic scale because it is the common scale used by
musicians. It is also called the major scale in the keyboard or in music as
well.
The diatonic scale uses solfa known as; do, re, mi,
fa, so, la, ti, do in ascending order while do, ti, la, so, fa, mi, re, do in
descending order to describe changes in pitch of the keyboard. These solfas are
also called music notes. These solfas also known as music notes have minors.
Do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti, do are known as the majors while, di, mor, fi, zi,
tor are known as the minors. Which means we have seven major notes and five
minor notes which makes a total of twelve notes in music. Now it time we add
them together in the proper full arrangement.
The musical notes are do, di, re, mo, mi, fa, fi,
so, zi, la, tor, ti, do in ascending order while, do, ti, tor, la, zi, so, fi,
fa, mi, or, re, di, do in descending order.
I know you might have an idea on how many keys we
have in music, you might have come across your choir/music master or minister
saying sing on key c, or key f or c#(c sharp) etc. I know this must
have been very familiar to your ears. But I have to throw more light on it.
Keys in Music
Music has twelve keys, which comprises of both flat
(b) and sharp (#).
Since this is not a keyboard class, I will explain it to you in the simplest
way possible.
The keys in music uses alphabets which begins from
letter A to G. but according to music, they are not arrange as A to Z, but
begins from C to B. This is the musical arrangement of these alphabets. They
are letter C. D. E. F.G. A and B. you can see it started from C to G then come
back to letter A before B, which is the last key. you might have taken note that
counting this alphabet you got only seven letters. Does that mean music have
only seven keys? NO! This is where the confusion comes in. but don’t be
confused, after this article everything
will be clear to you.
will be clear to you.
Earlier I told you of the musical keys comprising of
flats and sharps, this is where they come in.Some of the key from C to B
(according to musical notes) have sharps and flats. Now let’slist them including the flats and sharps. They are
as followed: key C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#, A, A# and B. now we have twelve
complete keys, but someone is still confuse, where is the click continue….
But someone is confused,where are the flats (b)? Don’t worry we just list them in
ascending order. In descending order you uses flats instead of sharp. This is
the list in descending order; they are as followed: key B. Bb. A, Ab, G, Gb,
F, E, Eb, D, Dband C. I know you are confused
but check the image below and study it.

| keys in ascending and descending order |
You discovered in the ascending order the not B and
E does not have a sharp (#). That is because they don’t have a minor note after
them. Also you discover in the descending order the note F and C does not have
a flat (b). Same reason
applies. Earlier on this article we discussed about minors. You can read on our
article “Beginner keyboard lessons”for more detailed information, we’ve
gone so far don’t give up. Here we come to what we have been looking for “Music Scale in
flat (b) and sharp (#)”.
We will use the aid of images as illustration for you to properly understand this. Here are all the keys in music
starting from key C to key B.
