The difference between major and minor chords and scales boils down to a difference of one essential note – the third. The third is what gives major-sounding scales and chords their brighter, cheerier sound, and what gives minor scales and chords their darker, sadder sound.

When the 7th degree of any scale is a half-step away from the root it is called a leading tone, and so the important difference between the natural and harmonic minor scale is that one has a leading tone while the other does not. Melodic Minor The melodic minor is a bit… weird.

In other words, in a natural minor scale the 7th scale degree is a minor 7th, whereas in a harmonic minor scale the 7th scale degree is a major 7th (and will be a half-step away from the root of the scale).

All major scales have the same pattern of half steps and whole steps, beginning on the note that names the scale - the tonic. Listen to the difference between the C major, D major, and B flat major scales. For each note below, write a major scale, one octave, ascending (going up), beginning on that note.

The difference between chord and scales are in simplifying terms: The chords are in general consisting of fewer notes. The chords are to make the harmony, while the scales are to make the melody.

When a minor melody is upward-bound, the 7th degree is often raised a half step so that it will make a "leading tone" to the tonic. So in the scale on A that would be G# instead of G. That's "harmonic minor," because this change to G was made for harmonic purposes.

Re: Is it Major or Minor?? no, big M is Major 7. example: a-c-e is Am chord, a-c#-e-g# is AM7 chord. There is no AM chord (and M7 chord always consists of four notes, an m chord is a triad (=three notes).

B-flat major. In music theory, B-flat major is a major scale based on B♭, with pitches B♭, C, D, E♭, F, G, and A. Its key signature has two flats. Its relative minor is G minor and its parallel minor is B-flat minor.

Since there are 12 major scales, there are 12 major keys. Likewise, there are 12 minor scales and, therefore, 12 minor keys. So there are 24 keys all together. Three of the major keys can be named 2 different ways – one way with sharp note names, and the other way with flat note names.

The distance between the first two notes in a Major scale is a whole step. The distance between the 3rd and 4th notes and the 7th and 8th notes are half steps. Those are the two naturally occuring half steps in a major scale.

In context|music|lang=en terms the difference between diatonic and pentatonic. is that diatonic is (music) within the boundaries of a musical scale, most commonly the western major or minor tonalities that have octaves of seven notes in a particular configuration while pentatonic is (music) based on five tones.

The key of the scale is simply the frequency of the first note you start playing the scale on. A chord occurs when multiple notes (Frequencies) are played simultaneously. For example, a major triad (a type of chord) occurs when you play the first, third, and fifth notes of the major scale together.

For example, G major and E minor both have a single sharp in their key signature at F♯; therefore, E minor is the relative minor of G major, and conversely G major is the relative major of E minor, The tonic of the relative minor is the sixth scale degree of the major scale, while the tonic of the relative major is the ...

F major. F major (or the key of F) is a major scale based on F, with the pitches F, G, A, B♭, C, D, and E. Its key signature has one flat: B♭. Its relative minor is D minor and its parallel minor is F minor.

The Mixolydian mode, as you know, is basically our major scale starting on the fifth degree. Therefore, it has a sense of major scale feel with minor intervals. When we make music based on the Western standard note system it amounts to a juxtaposition of all the Greek modes and can be so analysed.

In music a key is the major or minor scale around which a piece of music revolves. A song in a major key is based on a major scale. A song in a minor key is based on a minor scale. A song played in the 'key of C major' revolves around the seven notes of the C major scale – C, D, E, F, G, A, and B.
