Rules and Guidelines
The 1.____ scale a perfect fifth 2.____ the current scale contains the same notes but the 3.___ in the current scale is 4.____ to become the 5.____ of the new scale.
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| major | above | P4 | sharped | M7 |
| minor | above | M6 | sharped | M2 |
| major | below | M7 | flattened | P4 |
| minor | below | M2 | flattened | m6 |
Equivalent Pitches for Scales Below/Above by Interval
Modulating from any major scale to a new major scale that is ___ interval above/below the original key has ___ same pitches and #/b per note:
| Interval Above Root | Uni | m2 | M2 | m3 | M3 | P4 | d5 | P5 | m6 | M6 | D7 | M7 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Interval Below Root | Uni | M7 | D7 | M6 | m6 | P5 | d5 | P4 | M3 | m3 | M2 | m2 |
| Example Major Key vs C Major | C | C# | D | D# | E | F | F# | G | G# | A | A# | B |
| Number of Common Pitches | 7 | 2 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 6 | 2 | 6 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 2 |
Which means the most harmonic key changes are:
