LESSON
VI.
1.
Mow
many
tones
form
a
scale?
Eight
tones
arranged
in
a
certain
order
form
a
scale.
2.
How
are
these
tones
arranged?
They
are
arranged
in
an
ascending
series
from
one
to
eight,
thus:
1,
2,
3,
4,
5,
6,
7,
8.
This
forms
a
scale,
if
the
distance
between
three
and
four
and
seven
and
eight
is
only
half
as
great
as
the
other
distances
between
any
two
succeeding
tones.
Of
the
descending
series
they
run,
8,
7,
6,
5,
4,
3,
2,
1.
3.
What
are
the
large
and
small
distances
in
the
scale
called?
For
the
sake
of
convenie
they
are
called
steps
and
half-steps.
4.
How
many
tep
half-steps
are
there
in
the
scale?
There
are
five
wh
eps
and
two half-steps,
5.
Can
you
define
th
Diatonic
Major
scale?
The
Diatonic
Major
scale
is
a
scale
of
eight
primary
tones
and
seven
intervals-five
whole
steps
and
two
half-steps,
the
half-steps
occurring
between
3
and
4
and
7
and
8
Between
all
of
the
other
numbers
whole
steps.
(See
following
example):
6.
Does
every
musical
tone
have
a
names?
Yes,
every
tone,
it
matters
not
how
high
or
how
low,
it
bears
a
name.
The
names
of
the
tones
of
the
scale
are
as
follows:
LESSON
VII.
MINOR
MODE
OF
THE
DIATONIC
SCALE.
1.
Does
the
minor
key
have
the
same
signatures
of
the
major
keys?
They
do;
they
have
no
separate
signatures.
2.
Does
every
major
diatonic
scale
have
a
relative
minor
scale
bearing
the
same
signature.
They
do.
3.
Explain
how
this
is.
The
sixth
tone
of
any
major
key
will
give
the
relaitve
minor
key.
This
can
be
done
by
counting
down
a
third
from
the
major
key
note.
This
is
called
a
minor
third.
5.
When
is
a
scale
said
to
be
relative
to
another?
When
they
are
composed
of
the
same
identical
tones.
6.
On
what
does
the
minor
scale
commence?
On
what
is
called
a
minor
third
or
a
step
and
a
half
above
the
minor.
6.
On
what
does
the
minor
scale
commence?
A
step
and
a
half
below
the
major.
7.
Why
are
they
called
Major
and
Minor
scales?
On
account
of
the
above
statements
in
the
ascending
minor
scale
from
