Hello Cantemus,
I just spent TWO HOURS working on this stupid Chrome Book, gathering tips, writing tips, and linking sites for you to practice F major and A-flat major,.
SOMETHING HAPPENED - either my palm touched the pad or something? and everything suddenly clicked out - I wound up back at the log-in screen.
Two hours of dedicated labor has been irretrievably lost, and it is too late to go to campus and repeat this on a real computer.
I ask you for your pardon. I had intended to have these things ready for you yesterday.
I will post a bunch of material tomorrow (Monday) from a real computer.
In the meantime!
First - using keyboard app or regular keyboard, find and play the major scale whole/half step pattern beginning on C, F, and A-flat.
Reminder: W W H W W W H
Do to Re - whole step
Re to Mi - whole step
Mi to Fa - half step
Fa to Sol - whole step
Sol to La - whole step
La to Ti - whole step
Ti to Do - half step
Do spend a few minutes writing out, playing, and singing solfege for the keys of F major and A flat major.
You can find scales and key signatures here
SOLFEGE YOUR MUSIC FOR "WALKING" - Leave altered tones (accidentals) blank if you aren't sure how to designate them.
Tenors - familiarize yourselves with bass AND tenor clef.
Basses - you need to know this in bass clef only
INTERVALS - from Do
Do - Re: major 2nd
Do - Mi: major 3rd
Do - Fa: perfect fourth
Do - Sol: perfect fifth
Do - La: major sixth
Do - Ti: major seventh
Do - Do: perfect octave
How many half steps are in the various intervals? You can't always count from Do, yanno - (use piano keyboard to help - remember that you are counting the DISTANCE between pitches)
Examples are given in the key of C major. Ascending and descending intervals are the same size and have the same pitch names (when you're not starting them all from Do, that is! Why?)
Minor 2nd is 1 half step (example, E to F)
Major 2nd is 2 half steps (example, C to D)
Minor 3rd is 3 half steps (example, D to F)
Major third is 4 half steps (example, C to E)
Perfect fourth is 5 half steps (example, D to G)
TRITONE! is 6 half steps (example, F to B)
Perfect fifth is 7 half staps (examples C to G, D to A, E to B, F up to C)
Minor sixth is 8 half steps (example, B up to G, E up to C)
Major sixth is 9 half steps (example, C to A, D to B
Minor seventh is 10 half steps (example, D up to C)
Major seventh is 11 half steps (example, C to B)
Yours in musical enjoyment,
Lee
