What are music scales?
Music bowls are a series of notes that we use for a particular song. These tones have been chosen because they sound good together. Different cultures have different scales that they use more. The most common thing for most of us is the big scale. To form a scale, we go through the alphabet and choose notes that go together to achieve a certain sounding set. We usually do this by putting together “whole steps” and “half steps”.
Large Scales
A large scale is assembled using whole steps and half steps in a certain regular pattern.
Small Scales
Small scales are different from the large scales in the fact that there is no “right” minor scale. Minor refers to the fact that the 3rd degree (or 3rd note in the shell) is half a step lower than in the major scale. The other members of this scale can change to get different effects while still maintaining a “small” sound.
