→Analysis of the Major Scale
We will find the major scale creates some interesting methods of tension and resolution in chord progressions later on.
== Homework: ==Go listen to some music, trying to identify with each of the four basic elements of music above. Listen to a song while only focusing on one of the following: the melody, the drum-beat, the bass line, and accompanying chords. Sing Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do. Try to stop on random notes in the scale and sense the relative tension or release of tension created.
DO NOT start trying to memorize that the key of A has 3 sharps. It will not do you any goodat this point. The only thing you should memorize from this is the layout of the major scale- whole whole half whole whole whole half.
