Musical Composition

From Wikiversity

Before anything, I am just a student and all that you are going to read is just what I understand about musical composition, it`s not the actual proffessional way of viewing it.

First of all, for understanding let me explain some scales. Major Scale: it is the most basic of all scales consists of a tonic note and the seven following notes arranged in intervals that make them sound happy, such to say. the order is as following:

TN-1-2N-1-3N-1/2-4N-1-5N-1-6N-1-7N-1/2-TN

The numbers are the amount of tones between each note and N stands for note. Following is the C Major scale

C D E F G A B C

continuing, major scales have an order of learning for a student. It`s called the circle of fifths and it goes like this with each note`s scale:

C D E F G A B C

G A B C D E F# G

D E F# G A B C# D

A B C# D E F# G# A

E F# G# A B C# D# E

B C# D# E F# G# A# B
