Thank you for your suggestion & explanation. The standard major scale ascending fingerings are 12312345 (RH, one octave), 54321321(LH) for C, G, D, A, E major scales (with 0,1,2,3,4 sharps. Give it a wee try, OK? Let me know how it goes. I think you will find that you can work out which notes bear repeating on each line or space more easily. Have a go at writing out a chromatic scale, beginning on an C, just for a distance of one actave, ascending and descending. Just something to keep you on track when working with the semitones (B - C, and E - F are the culprits here sometimes). TERMS you need to know to help you understand the Chromatic Scale: Accidentals- sharps, flats, or naturals Sharp- will raise the pitch one half step Flat- will lower the pitch one half step Enharmonics- two notes that sound the SAME pitch, have the SAME fingering/position, but have DIFFERENT note names. You can use a cardboard cutout or simply make a rough sketch along the top of a page. When explaining this to my pupils for theory purposes, we find a visual aid of a piano keyboard very useful.
#D chromatic scale how to
Learn how to define chromatic music, then explore scales. chromatic scale beginning on a D, or for pianists - a chromatic scale, beginning on any black key (e.g. Chromatic music is composed with the chromatic scale, which includes all twelve pitches in Western music in ascending or descending order. Mmmmm, as far as I am aware a chromatic scale is only described as beginning on a particular note - not in a set key, either major or minor. But how about Melodic Chromatic in ascending or descending? Which note need to be write twice? Thank you. Every degree of the scale has to be written twice, except the 5th, key note at the top & bottom. For Harmonic Chromatic, it is the same whether ascending or descending, and whether it occurs in a major or in a minor key. There are Harmonic & Melodic Chromatic Scales. "The (exam) question will not ask you to use either the 'harmonic' or the'melodic' form of the chromatic scale." Having said that, according to the Gde 4 Music In Theory Practice book, it says (bottom page 37)
The additional notes are then provided by sharpening the diatonic notes (where required) in ascending form, or by flattening them in the descending form."ĭ C# C natural B B flat A A flat G F# F natural E flat Dĭ D# E F F# G G# A B flat B natural C C# Dĭ C# Cnatural B natural B flat A A flat G G flat F E E flat D Perhaps the simplest way of forming them is to include, first, all the notes of the key (in a minor key these include the notes of both the melodic and harmonic scales). ".They (Melodic Chromatic Scales) differ in their ascending and descending versions, and also according to whether the key is major or minor. There's a section in there about Melodic and Harmonic Chromatic scales (page31). Have you got the AB Guide to Music Theory? (The Pink Book).
