The grand scale of Do, or (Maqam Do Ajam), consists of seven tones, and the eighth tone is an answer to the first tone. The tones are arranged starting with the tone of Do, which is in the middle of the piano keyboard. The scale is applied from the bottom to the top, towards the right hand, that is, from left to right, and ends on The pitch of the “du” at the top of the keyboard is the answer to the basic “du” tone, where the tone or sound number eight is the same as the base sound (du). It is called the answer tone, and the answer tone is in (a sharp pitch).
How do we recognize the D tone on the piano keyboard?
We notice the presence of black keys on the piano keyboard, and these black keys are grouped in twos and threes.
So how do we recognize the du tone? We can know the du tone through the binary groups. The white colored du tone is located directly to the left of the binary group, meaning it is the first sound that follows the binary group.
The Do major scale is a white piano keyboard, meaning it is seven letters repeated in thick or sharp pitches.
There is an important piece of information that you must know, which is that the rule that forms the Do ladder is the same rule that must be applied to extract the rest of the large western stairs, so you should focus a little in this lesson.
When we want to go up the stairs, we go up a rung, then a rung, then a rung, and so on until the end of the stairs. This applies to the D major scale, as we move from the D major note, then the next note, then the next one, then the next note, and this only happens (on the white piano keyboard). ) all the way to the eighth tone, which is the tone of “do answer.”
So how can we know the De Major scale with the names of the rest of the tones of the scale?
Kalati (read from left to right) is C-Do-Ra-Me-Fa-Sol--La-Si-(Do) and this is on the white piano keyboard only.
So how can we know the rule for the formation of the major Do scale?
First, we must get to know the half-tone scale or the choromatic scale, which is a scale that starts from the white do tone and ends at the do answer tone, but in this scale you must go through all the tones.
The black and white pianos in order, arriving at the tone of the answer, which is called the half-step scale, in which the sound moves half a step, then half a step, then half a step, and so on until the chord scale is completed.
The base or movements of the Do Major or Do major scale are as follows: - From the base tone (Do to Ra) it is a full degree - From Ra to Me it is a degree - From Me-Fa it is a half degree because there is no black key between them - And from Fa to Sol it is a degree -And from Sol to La a degree - From La to Si a degree - And from Si to a tone The answer is Do is half a degree because there is no black key between them).
In this way, we have become acquainted with the Dou el-Kebir movement, which is the basis for drawing the grand western stairs, which is as follows (one degree, then one degree, then half a degree, then one degree - one degree - one degree - half a degree)
This rule is applied to the rest of the musical tones
