What are Music Scales?
A music scale is a set of musical notes ordered by fundamental frequency or pitch. Scales form the building blocks of melodies and harmonies. The most common scales in Western music are the Major and Minor scales.
Common Scale Types
- Major Scale: The "Happy" scale. Used in pop, rock, and classical music.
- Minor Scale: The "Sad" or "Serious" scale.
- Pentatonic Scale: A 5-note scale essential for solos and improvisation.
- Blues Scale: A variation of the pentatonic scale with an added "blue note".
How to practice scales?
Start with the thumb on the root note. Play each note in sequence up and down the octave. Practice slowly at first (use our Metronome) and increase speed gradually.
