  • The simplest and most obvious scale is the C major scale, which consists of all the white keys {C, D, E, F, G, A, B}. As it turns out, all traditional scales in Western music are variants on this scale. Incidentally, the "complimentary" scale to that one (consisting of all the black keys {Db, Eb, Gb, Ab, Bb}) is commonly used in Eastern music, and is known as the pentatonic scale, due to its having 5 different notes. Really, any scale with 5 different notes could be called a pentatonic scale, but if someone just says "the pentatonic scale" without further specificity, it's generally assumed that they're referring to the one consisting of all the black keys. The C major scale and its many variants are known as heptatonic scales, but afaik there is no one heptatonic scale which is known simply as "the heptatonic scale" and the word heptatonic isn't actually used very much (Chrome's spellchecker doesn't even recognize it, but it does recognize pentatonic).
    In music, a scale is the set of notes from which most or all of the notes in a piece are taken. Scales are not octave dependent, so, for example, you wouldn't say the scale of a piece is the set {F#3, A4, D6, Eb2, G5} you would just say {F#, A, D, Eb, G} and the piece would consist mostly (or perhaps entirely) of those 5 notes in any octave.
    Well that sounds pretty good then. I actually didn't know about that, so I'll perhaps keep it in mind!
    Also, I merged your threads so if you want you can edit your ex-OP to make it more sensible.
    I'll look at it in a bit
    I just got off work and I have to go out for a while now
    Also, you don't have to talk yourself to get other people talking. Just start poking them or something, and they'll probably start talking, telling you to gtfo and stuff.
    I actually did it the night you made it because it reminded me that I haven't updated those links in a long time.
    For example:

    The monks were trying to hold a meditation session in silence, but, unfortunately, Mr. Perkins-High showed up and started talkagazingifying the whole thing. The monks were most displeased with his talkagazingifications.
    And I went with yes on the fb profile pic.

    Also, I had us for dinner yesterday, but I missed an opportunity to have us again for lunch today, having forgotten that there were leftovers in the fridge, so I had pizza instead. Cheese, but no Mac. Not even any Lace :(
