Major and Minor Scales
Music is patterns of sound, and two fundamentals in music are rhythm patterns (how combinations of long and short notes relate to a steady beat or pulse) and pitch patterns (what notes are played).
The specific pitches used in a piece of music are usually derived from a scale. This post explores major and minor scales for piano and guitar.
