"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved." (John 3:16-17). God bless you

As for my opinion A BROKEN RELATIONSHIP IS BETTER THAN A BROKEN MARRIAGE.

DON'T MARRY HER OUT OF PITY.

BAD MARRIAGE IS HELL ON EARTH.

Break the relationship n settle her off if not she can sue for damages ( a filed promise to marry is an offense). dats if she knows her rights sha.

If the breakup is not peaceful, it ll be hell for you bcus d devil can use her to disfiguring u (www.acid.com)

Once upon a time in a village, a man appeared
and announced that he would buy monkeys for
N100 each. The villagers seeing that there were
so many monkeys around, went out to the forest
and started catching them.

The man bought thousands at N100 and as
supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped
their efforts. He further announced that he would now buy at N200. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again. Soon the supply diminished and people started going back to their farms. The offer rate increased to N250 but the supply of monkeys became so little that it took much effort to even see a monkey, let alone catch one.

The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at N500! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy on his behalf.

In the absence of the man, his assistant told the
villagers: ''Look at all these monkeys in the big
cage that my OGA has bought from you, I will sell them to you at N350 and when my OGA returns from the city, you can sell it to him at
N500''.

The villagers squeezed out all their HARD
EARNED savings and bought all the monkeys.
The most greedy ones among them even sold
their lands to purchase many MONKEYS, hoping
to make a huge profit without labor.

Then...

They never saw the man or his assistant. Only
monkeys everywhere!

Welcome to # MMM.The world of Monkeys!
For all those that are affected, Hope is not lost. Life is all about risk.
No risk No reward!!!

Would love to read the apocalypse of peter if its not apocryphal.

This is it ma.

As the Savior was sitting in the temple in the three hundredth (year) of the covenant and the agreement of the tenth pillar, and being satisfied with the number of the living, incorruptible Majesty, he said to me, "Peter, blessed are those above belonging to the Father, who revealed life to those who are from the life, through me, since I reminded they who are built on what is strong, that they may hear my word, and distinguish words of unrighteousness and transgression of law from righteousness, as being from the height of every word of this Pleroma of truth, having been enlightened in good pleasure by him whom the principalities sought. But they did not find him, nor was he mentioned among any generation of the prophets. He has now appeared among these, in him who appeared, who is the Son of Man, who is exalted above the heavens in a fear of men of like essence. But you yourself, Peter, become perfect in accordance with your name with myself, the one who chose you, because from you I have established a base for the remnant whom I have summoned to knowledge. Therefore be strong until the imitation of righteousness - of him who had summoned you, having summoned you to know him in a way which is worth doing because of the rejection which happened to him, and the sinews of his hands and his feet, and the crowning by those of the middle region, and the body of his radiance which they bring in hope of service because of a reward of honor - as he was about to reprove you three times in this night."

And as he was saying these things, I saw the priests and the people running up to us with stones, as if they would kill us; and I was afraid that we were going to die.

And he said to me, "Peter, I have told you many times that they are blind ones who have no guide. If you want to know their blindness, put your hands upon (your) eyes - your robe - and say what you see."

But when I had done it, I did not see anything. I said "No one sees (this way)."

Again he told me, "Do it again."

And there came in me fear with joy, for I saw a new light greater than the light of day. Then it came down upon the Savior. And I told him about those things which I saw.

And he said to me again, "Lift up your hands and listen to what the priests and the people are saying."

And I listened to the priests as they sat with the scribes. The multitudes were shouting with their voice.

When he heard these things from me he said to me, "Prick up your ears and listen to the things they are saying."
And I listened again, "As you sit, they are praising you".

And when I said these things, the Savior said, "I have told you that these (people) are blind and deaf. Now then, listen to the things which they are telling you in a mystery, and guard them, Do not tell them to the sons of this age. For they shall blaspheme you in these ages since they are ignorant of you, but they will praise you in knowledge."

"For many will accept our teaching in the beginning. And they will turn from them again by the will of the Father of their error, because they have done what he wanted. And he will reveal them in his judgment, i.e., the servants of the Word. But those who became mingled with these shall become their prisoners, since they are without perception. And the guileless, good, pure one they push to the worker of death, and to the kingdom of those who praise Christ in a restoration. And they praise the men of the propagation of falsehood, those who will come after you. And they will cleave to the name of a dead man, thinking that they will become pure. But they will become greatly defiled and they will fall into a name of error, and into the hand of an evil, cunning man and a manifold dogma, and they will be ruled without law."

"For some of them will blaspheme the truth and proclaim evil teaching. And they will say evil things against each other. Some will be named: (those) who stand in (the) strength of the archons, of a man and a naked woman who is manifold and subject to much suffering. And those who say these things will ask about dreams. And if they say that a dream came from a demon worthy of their error, then they shall be given perdition instead of incorruption."

"For evil cannot produce good fruit. For the place from which each of them is produces that which is like itself; for not every soul is of the truth, nor of immortality. For every soul of these ages has death assigned to it in our view, because it is always a slave, since it is created for its desires and their eternal destruction, in which they are and from which they are. They love the creatures of the matter which came forth with them."

"But the immortal souls are not like these, O Peter. But indeed, as long as the hour is not yet come, it (the immortal soul) shall resemble a mortal one. But it shall not reveal its nature, that it alone is the immortal one, and thinks about immortality, having faith, and desiring to renounce these things."

"For people do not gather figs from thorns or from thorn trees, if they are wise, nor grapes from thistles. For, on the one hand, that which is always becoming is in that from which it is, being from what is not good, which becomes destruction for it and death. But that which comes to be in the Eternal One is in the One of the life and the immortality of the life which they resemble."

"Therefore all that which exists not will dissolve into what exists not. For deaf and blind ones join only with their own kind."

"But others shall change from evil words and misleading mysteries. Some who do not understand mystery speak of things which they do not understand, but they will boast that the mystery of the truth is theirs alone. And in haughtiness they shall grasp at pride, to envy the immortal soul which has become a pledge. For every authority, rule, and power of the aeons wishes to be with these in the creation of the world, in order that those who are not, having been forgotten by those that are, may praise them, though they have not been saved, nor have they been brought to the Way by them, always wishing that they may become imperishable ones. For if the immortal soul receives power in an intellectual spirit -. But immediately they join with one of those who misled them."

"But many others, who oppose the truth and are the messengers of error, will set up their error and their law against these pure thoughts of mine, as looking out from one (perspective) thinking that good and evil are from one (source). They do business in my word. And they will propagate harsh fate. The race of immortal souls will go in it in vain, until my Parousia. For they shall come out of them - and my forgiveness of their transgressions, into which they fell through their adversaries, whose ransom I got from the slavery in which they were, to give them freedom that they may create an imitation remnant in the name of a dead man, who is Hermas, of the first-born of unrighteousness, in order that the light which exists may not believed by the little ones. But those of this sort are the workers who will be cast into the outer darkness, away from the sons of light. For neither will they enter, nor do they permit those who are going up to their approval for their release."

"And still others of them who suffer think that they will perfect the wisdom of the brotherhood which really exists, which is the spiritual fellowship of those united in communion, through which the wedding of incorruptibility shall be revealed. The kindred race of the sisterhood will appear as an imitation. These are the ones who oppress their brothers, saying to them, "Through this our God has pity, since salvation comes to us through this," not knowing the punishment of those who are made glad by those who have done this thing to the little ones whom they saw, (and) whom they took prisoner."

"And there shall be others of those who are outside our number who name themselves bishop and also deacons, as if they have received their authority from God. They bend themselves under the judgment of the leaders. Those people are dry canals."

But I said " I am afraid because of what you have told me, that indeed little (ones) are, in our view, the counterfeit ones, indeed, that there are multitudes that will mislead other multitudes of living ones, and destroy them among themselves. And when they speak your name they will be believed."

The Savior said, "For a time determined for them in proportion to their error they will rule over the little ones. And after the completion of the error, the never-aging one of the immortal understanding shall become young, and they (the little ones) shall rule over those who are their rulers. The root of their error he shall pluck out, and he shall put it to shame so that it shall be manifest in all the impudence which it has assumed to itself. And such ones shall become unchangeable, O Peter."

"Come therefore, let us go on with the completion of the will of the incorruptible Father. For behold, those who will bring them judgment are coming, and they will put them to shame. But me they cannot touch. And you, O Peter, shall stand in their midst. Do not be afraid because of your cowardice. Their minds shall be closed, for the invisible one has opposed them."

When he had said those things, I saw him seemingly being seized by them. And I said "What do I see, O Lord? That it is you yourself whom they take, and that you are grasping me? Or who is this one, glad and laughing on the tree? And is it another one whose feet and hands they are striking?"

The Savior said to me, "He whom you saw on the tree, glad and laughing, this is the living Jesus. But this one into whose hands and feet they drive the nails is his fleshly part, which is the substitute being put to shame, the one who came into being in his likeness. But look at him and me."

But I, when I had looked, said "Lord, no one is looking at you. Let us flee this place."

But he said to me, "I have told you, 'Leave the blind alone!'. And you, see how they do not know what they are saying. For the son of their glory instead of my servant, they have put to shame."

And I saw someone about to approach us resembling him, even him who was laughing on the tree. And he was <filled> with a Holy Spirit, and he is the Savior. And there was a great, ineffable light around them, and the multitude of ineffable and invisible angels blessing them. And when I looked at him, the one who gives praise was revealed.
And he said to me, "Be strong, for you are the one to whom these mysteries have been given, to know them through revelation, that he whom they crucified is the first-born, and the home of demons, and the stony vessel in which they dwell, of Elohim, of the cross, which is under the Law. But he who stands near him is the living Savior, the first in him, whom they seized and released, who stands joyfully looking at those who did him violence, while they are divided among themselves. Therefore he laughs at their lack of perception, knowing that they are born blind. So then the one susceptible to suffering shall come, since the body is the substitute. But what they released was my incorporeal body. But I am the intellectual Spirit filled with radiant light. He whom you saw coming to me is our intellectual Pleroma, which unites the perfect light with my Holy Spirit."

"These things, then, which you saw you shall present to those of another race who are not of this age. For there will be no honor in any man who is not immortal, but only (in) those who were chosen from an immortal substance, which has shown that it is able to contain him who gives his abundance. Therefore I said, 'Every one who has, it will be given to him, and he will have plenty.' But he who does not have, that is, the man of this place, who is completely dead, who is removed from the planting of the creation of what is begotten, whom, if one of the immortal essence appears, they think that they possess him - it will be taken from him and be added to the one who is. You, therefore, be courageous and do not fear at all. For I shall be with you in order that none of your enemies may prevail unto you. Peace be to you, Be strong!"
When he (Jesus) had said these things, he (Peter) came to himself.

The New Testament of the Christian Bible is one of the most influential works of the last two millennia. As the key work of the largest religion in the western world, it has shaped our world in many subtle ways. But the list of 27 books we know today as the New Testament came together gradually through a series of councils and general usage until the books became the standard for most of Christianity. This list is about 10 of the most interesting books not included in the New Testament. Some were excluded for obvious reasons, some likely never had wide readership until found in an obscure library thousands of years later and some just barely missed the cut to being included. One probably never even existed. We know so little about the creation of the New Testament that I cannot tell you why each book was not included, only what makes them interesting. This list is not aimed to validate or discredit the value of any particular book but to provide some context to the creation of the New Testament.

*Because the New Testament is a result of the Orthodox opinion of the time I have chosen to exclude Gnostic texts from this list.


10. Apocalypse of Peter

The most well-known Apocalypse (book describing visions of the end times) is of course the Book of Apocalypse (Revelation), but it was far from the only Apocalypse being widely read by the early Christians. One of the most popular and widely quoted is the Apocalypse of Peter. This book was written as a conversation between Jesus and his followers. It basically describes all the horrible things that happen in hell and all the awesome things that happen in heaven. It is very detailed about what punishment fits which crime for those in hell. Those who are blasphemous to God are hung by their tongue, adulterous men and women are hung by their hair and feet respectively over boiling goop, and murderers are cast into a pit of horrible creeping things. Meanwhile those who go to heaven sing beautiful music, have beautiful bodies with great skin, wear shiny clothes and smell nice.


9. The Epistle of Barnabas

The Epistle of Barnabas is a book written between 70 and 130 AD. We know from the contents that it was written after the destruction of the Jewish temple but before the Jewish Rebellion in 132. It was often attributed to Barnabas the companion of Paul, but it may have referenced a different Barnabas. This book places itself squarely in the debates of the time about Christianity’s relationship with Judaism. It rejects the value of previous teachings in Judaism and rejects all ceremonial aspects of Judaism. The Epistle establishes completely different interpretations of the Torah that it claims point to the validity of Christianity. The Epistle of Barnabas quotes a lot of the Old Testament including Enoch, one of the most fascinating books not included in the Old Testament, but that is for another list.


8. Infancy Gospel of James

We know from several early references that the four gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) were settled on early in Christian history, much earlier than the other 23 books. Nevertheless, this didn’t prevent the creation and even widespread dissemination of other gospels. The interest in the life of Jesus was understandably intense in the early Christian world. A whole genre of gospel was created specifically dealing with the Infancy of Jesus, called appropriately the infancy gospels. One of the most famous is the Infancy Gospel of James. This book attests to the importance of Mary to early Christians. It describes her unique birth, her adolescence and of course, the early years of Jesus life. It makes claims about Mary’s perpetual virginity and God’s involvement in choosing Joseph. The book describes in detail Herod’s killing of children in Bethlehem, Jesus’ early exile in Egypt and the extent of the parallel nature of Jesus and John the Baptist’s lives. The book is also the source of the image of the nativity taking place in a cave.


7. Shepherd of Hermas

Probably one of the more obscure books to modern readers, this book had great influence in the first couple of centuries of Christianity. It would have been a very well-known book to the early Christians. It appears to have been very popular in the 2nd and 3rd centuries but its popularity had almost entirely died out by the 4th. The Shepard was referenced by many early church fathers such as Origen, Tertullian, Irenaeus and Clement of Alexandria. The Shepard was also very controversial at the time. It was used as scripture by some early churches and despised by others. Origen quotes it as scripture but Tertullian and Clement of Alexandria regard it as heretical. Nevertheless it was influential to many and thus should be noted. The Shepard of Hermas is an allegorical book written mostly in the first person describing the visions of Hermas, a former slave. It also includes 12 commandments and 10 parables mostly dealing with Christian Ethics and the importance of being faithful.


6. 1st Clement

1st Clement is one of two letters (yet again to the church in Corinth) attributed to Pope Clement of Rome. The first one is actually believed by many scholars to be one of the rare non-canonical early Christian works to have been written by the attributed author. This alone makes it a rarity among early Christian texts. It was well-regarded at the time and made it into several late lists of important Christian texts. Along with the Didache, it is one of the earliest written books that eventually failed to make it into the New Testament, being dated to around 95 AD. The book itself is mostly focused on a dispute in the Church at Corinth about the removal of several church leaders, a removal that Clement objects to.


5. Gospel of Thomas

One of the most famous books not included in the New Testament is the so called Gospel of Thomas. The Gospel of Thomas is not a book that was passed down through the ages but was rediscovered as part of the Nag Hammadi Library in 1945. We have no evidence it was widely read by the early Christians and the few references we do have refer to it as heretical. The Gospel of Thomas is interesting because it is different in structure from the four traditional gospels; it is a collection of sayings attributed to Jesus rather than a narrative of Jesus’ life that includes some of his teachings. The Gospel of Thomas has been one of the most widely studied books not included in the New Testament because of how it was rediscovered and the interesting nature of its contents. Unlike the other narrative gospels this book does not mention the death and resurrection of Jesus but focuses instead on his teachings and how they lead to eternal life, when properly understood.


4. The Didache

The Didache or “The Lord’s teaching of the twelve apostles” is one of my personal favorites. The Didache is basically a set of step-by-step instructions for a Christian life. The first section is on how Christians should apply the commandments of God. The second section deals with the sacraments (Baptism, the Eucharist and Fasting). The third section is about Church structure. The Didache was considered for inclusion in the New Testament by some in the early days of the Christian Church. It is fascinating to wonder how this book would have affected the divisions in the church that arose over the next 2000 years. Arguments about Baptism and the Eucharist that were major points of division would have been drastically altered if this text had been included. To have rules for these major rites included within the canon may have prevented some of the more drastic splits, or made other worse ones.


3. Lost Epistle to the Corinthians

1st and 2nd Corinthians are of course major cornerstones of the Epistles of Paul in the New Testament. These letters are the basis of a lot of Christian Ethics and the importance of Paul, but there were other letters between Paul and the Church in Corinth. The first was apparently written before 1 Corinthians and is referenced by Paul in 1 Corinthians 5:9 “I wrote to you in my (previous) letter not to associate with sexually immoral people.” We have no evidence of this letter outside of this reference. It would be fascinating to see what other correspondence Paul had with the Corinthians but this is one that is likely lost forever. That leads us to…


2. Third Letter to the Corinthians

The second is the Third Epistle to the Corinthians. This letter has survived and was included in some early lists of sacred documents but by the 4th Century was not considered valid. Unlike the 1st and 2nd Epistles, it is considered by most to be written by someone other than Paul. 3rd Corinthians mostly deals with correcting the interpretation of the first two books and is likely to have been written to admonish those considered heretics.


1. Q Book

Spot number one goes to a book we have no evidence even exists. The supposed Q document is a hypothetical sayings gospel that would account for the striking similarities between the three synoptic gospels: Matthew, Mark and Luke. Its existence was first postulated in 1900 by scholars trying to understand the similarity between the three books. All three gospels share stories, phrases and even direct quotes with each other. Some are between two books and some between all three but no book contains all the similarities. Mark has the most in common with both Matthew and Luke but there are parts of Matthew and Luke that are not in Mark. In addition each book contains parts that are in neither of the other books. This makes for a difficult time figuring out which one came first and is therefore referenced by the others. Unlike today there was no tradition of giving strict source references when writing. The Q hypothesis asserts that there could have been a fourth gospel that included all (or at least the parts missing from Mark) of the similar material used the three gospels. This document would have been widely spread throughout the Christian Church and provided the source material for the synoptic gospels. Where this hypothesis falls apart is not only that we don’t have a copy (partial or complete) of this book but we have no reference at all to this mysterious gospel in any early Christian writings. The Q hypothesis debate is intense in scholarship to this very day, with scholars building careers both in support and in opposition to its existence.

PDP finished this country.

Buhari is working.

We should all join hands to take this country to greater heights.

Ksslib:
“The decision to suspend this directive was taken after due consultation with industry stakeholders and the general complaints by consumers across the country.”

Forgive my obsession with little details but I find the use of the word "and" as used in that context nothing but an act of fffuckery and stupidity from the useless body who, rather than protect consumers, have sworn an oath with the devil to torment Nigerians ( as if our suffering isn't enough already).

The wicked plan was simply reversed due to consumer outrage(which I am sure they never expected), not due to some bullshit industry stakeholder meeting which we all know never took place.

Shame on NCC. Anybody who thinks there's an imaginary body - NCC or others- whose job is to protect the interest of average Nigerians like you and me is simply on a long thing. They all belong to same cabal; they are all animals, theives who all laugh at us behind our back.

Implementing policies that will see Nigerians suffer depends on one and one thing only: how we react. If the reaction is toxic, they'll quickly organise an imaginary stakeholders meeting and cancel the policy. If it's not toxic enough - then the policy stands. PIGS

We should raise a campaign against Smile Communications, Spectranet and NATCOMS (NTEL), they are the brain behind the proposed data increase because thy saw GLO came with 4G.

If u can't compete, QUIT.
Say NO to data price increase.

The “3-6-2-5-1” progression creates a distinct sound.

I have earlier thought a simpler version of the progression.

Any “6-2-5-1” chord progression with the addition of the “3” chord can be transformed into a “3-6-2-5-1” progression.

First, I want to explore “3” chords that will actually pull us towards our “6-2-5-1” progression. Let’s explore the following chords:

(In the key of Db major):
D major scale = Db – Eb – F – Gb – Ab – Bb – C – Db

1) F7 (#9#5)
Left hand = F - Right hand = A Db Eb Ab

2)F7 (b9#5)
Left hand = F - Right hand = A Db Eb Gb

3) Dmaj / F
Left hand = F - Right hand = A D F

4) F7 (b9)
Left hand = F - Right hand = Gb A C Eb

5) Fmin7 (b5)
Left hand = F - Right hand = Ab B Eb

6) Ab (add 9) / F
Left hand = F - Right hand = Eb Ab Bb C
Let’s combine them with “6-2-5-1” to create our
“3-6-2-5-1” progressions.

“3” chord: A Db Eb Ab / F
“6” chord: Ab C Db F / Bb
“2” chord: G C Db F / Eb
“5” chord: C F A / Ab
“1” chord: Bb Eb Ab / Db

“3” chord: A Db Eb Gb / F
“6” chord (1): Ab C Eb G / Bb
“6” chord (2): Ab B D F / Bb
“2” chord: Gb Bb Db F / Eb
“5” chord: F A C F / Ab
“1” chord: Eb Ab Db / Db

“3” chord: A D F# / F
“6” chord: Ab C Db F / Bb
“2” chord: Db Gb Bb / Eb
“5” chord: C F A / Ab
“1” chord: Bb Eb Ab / Db

“3” chord: Gb A C Eb / F
“6” chord (1): F Ab Db / Bb
“6” chord (2): F Ab B D / Bb
“2” chord: Gb Bb Db F / Eb
“5” chord: Gb Bb C F / Ab
“1” chord: Eb Ab Db / Db

Let’s take a look at the history of the piano.
When talking about piano history, mention must be made of the early instruments that paved its way.
The first historical mention of instruments is in Genesis 4:21. The King James Version reads as follows: “And his brother’s name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ”. The first instrument in history to have a keyboard was the Hydraulis, the precursor of the modern organ. It was built in Greece about 220 B.C. By the Second Century A.D. the organ was commonly used at important festivities in Greece and the Roman Empire.
The earliest keyboards were played with the hands, wrists, fists, knees, or feet. Up to the 13th Century the scales were diatonic (as in GABCDEF) rather than the twelve tone chromatic scale we use today.
The piano is founded on earlier technological innovations . The 14th and 15th Centuries saw the development of different kinds of keyboard stringed instruments. Some came with hammers, including the chekker, dulce melos, and clavichord. Some were plucked instruments, including the virginal, spinet and harpsichord.
In this discussion of the history of the piano, let’s now talk about its inventor. Who invented the piano?
The modern piano was invented by Bartolomeo Cristofori (1655–1731) of Padua. He was an expert harpsichord maker, employed by Ferdinando de’ Medici, Grand Prince of Tuscany, as the Keeper of the Instruments. The first piano he built was about the year 1700 or 1698. Historians are not in total agreement as to the exact date. The keyboard looked different to today’s piano keyboard layout; the natural keys were black while the accidentals were white. It was Sebastian LeBlanc who suggested that the black and white keys be switched. The three Cristofori pianos that survive today date from the 1720s.
History of the piano – the harpsichord and clavichord
At the time of Bartolomeo Cristofori’s invention of the piano, the most popular keyboard instruments were the harpsichord and the clavichord. Both of these instruments looked like the piano that exists today. The major difference between them and a modern day piano is the way their sound was produced. In a clavichord the strings are struck by tangents, while in a harpsichord they are plucked by quills.
A major drawback of the harpsichord was the fact that the dynamics (loudness or softness) of each note couldn’t be controlled. This meant that composers couldn’t evoke emotion in their music as needed. The clavichord aimed to improve on this shortcoming. While it still plucked at strings, it allowed the strings to continue vibrating as long as the key was depressed. As a result players had more control over the volume of their instrument. The technically more advanced clavichord became very popular but it still had its weaknesses. Although it allowed artists to be more expressive, the tone of the harpsichord was too delicate. It was not suited for large hall performances and would often be drowned by other instruments.
The piano was likely formed as an attempt to combine the loudness of the harpsichord with the control of the clavichord.

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.

I'm Marho, founder of Mpiano.

I bring with me over 15 years of experience.

I have grown from the intermediate level to a Professional level as a Pianist.

Mpiano is currently experiencing various phases including blog visual modifications which is still going on.

Marho' Piano is growing from being a blogger blog to a full featured site where you can get very useful resources like videos, quality articles and general music info.

We will be making full lessons based on three categories (Beginner. Intermediate, Advanced)
These three categories will help most musicians based on their skill level.

We trach on 'play by ear' basis. Play by ear means that you are taught what to play without the necessity to go through music classes or learning how to sight-read. The benefit of this is that the whole piano learning process becomes an easy one.

You can bookmark this page for regular updates and lessons.
