Musical Notations

Notations refer to items or symbols used in musical representation.

I will list few of them.....

KEY: This refers to the note that the scale you're using starts on, known as the tonic. Typically it's the note you come back to throughout the tune and especially at the end. If a tune uses notes from the C major (diatonic) scale, it's in the key of C major.

TONE: This is a musical or vocal sound with reference to its pitch, quality, and strength.

NOTE: This is a single sound.

INTERVAL: Intervals in music describe the distance between two notes. The most common intervals that you should be familiar with are: prime, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and octave.

SHARP (#): A sharp is any note played higher than a note named or a current note. e.g. If you mention C#, it means you are not to play key C but the next note that is higher than C which is C.

FLAT (b): This is a note that is played lower than a particular or current note.

NATURAL: A note that’s not in sharp or flat form, and they are C, D, E, F, G, A, B

STEPS: Another way to describe the structure of a scale is with the word steps which refer to the distance between notes. The most often used terms are half steps and whole steps. Between C and C# there is one half step and between C and D there is one whole step.
In the scale overviews on this site you will see "semi-notes" (equivalent to half steps) and "formulas" used also to describe the scales. It is mainly the same thing only described in different ways. For the Major Scale this will look like: 2 - 2 - 1 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 1 (semi-notes) and Whole, Whole, Half, Whole, Whole, Whole, Half (formula).

SCALE: “Scale” comes from a Latin word which means ladder. A scale is the tonal basis of music. It is a set of tones from which you can build melodies and harmonies. The tones of a scale are ordered according to their pitch. Since scales create various distinctive moods, atmospheres and tonal flavours, there are as many scales as there are cultures around the world. We dwell on this later as we proceed.

CHORDS: This is any harmonic set of three or more notes that is heard as if sounding simultaneously. These need not actually be played together: arpeggios and broken chords may, for many practical and theoretical purposes, constitute chords.

CHORD PROGRESSION: (or harmonic progression) is a series of musical chords, or chord changes that "aims for a definite goal" of establishing (or contradicting) a tonality founded on a key, root or tonic chord and that is based upon a succession of root relationships. Chords and chord theory are generally known as harmony.
