The scale degree chords of B-flat major are: Tonic – B-flat major; Supertonic – C minor; Mediant – D minor; Subdominant – E-flat major; Dominant – F major; Submediant – G minor; Leading-tone – A diminished
The blues scale is so named for its use of blue notes. Since blue notes are alternate inflections, strictly speaking there can be no one blues scale, [8] but the scale most commonly called "the blues scale" comprises the minor pentatonic scale and an additional flat 5th scale degree: C E ♭ F G ♭ G B ♭ C. [9] [10] [11]
In diatonic harmony, the half-diminished seventh chord occurs naturally on the seventh scale degree of any major scale (for example, B ø 7 in C major) and is thus a leading-tone seventh chord in the major mode. [3] Similarly, the chord also occurs on the second degree of any natural minor scale (e.g., D ø 7 in C minor). It has been described ...
The harmonic major scale has its own set of modes, distinct from the harmonic minor, melodic minor, and major modes, depending on which note serves as the tonic.Below are the mode names, their degrees, and the following seventh chords that can be built using each modal tonic or degree of the parent mode as the root: a major seventh chord, a half-diminished seventh chord, a minor seventh chord ...
The two whole-tone scales as a symmetrical partitioning of the chromatic scale; [1] if C=0 then the top stave has even (02468t) and the bottom has odd (13579e) pitches. In music, a whole-tone scale is a scale in which each note is separated from its neighbors by the interval of a whole tone.
Aeolian harmony [10] is harmony or chord progression created from chords of the Aeolian mode. Commonly known as the "natural minor" scale, it allows for the construction of the following triads (three note chords built from major or minor thirds), in popular music symbols: i, ♭ III, iv, v, ♭ VI, and ♭ VII.
B Flat notes. B ♭ (B-flat), or, in some European countries, B, is the eleventh step of the Western chromatic scale (starting from C).It lies a diatonic semitone above A and a chromatic semitone below B, [1] thus being enharmonic to A ♯, even though in some musical tunings, B ♭ will have a different sounding pitch than A ♯.
