That's right on the money, Fred! Very well explained. Thanx, I always get a chuckle when I hear a kid say A#. (I think it must come from the tuner pedals which only have Sharps and no Flats on the display. or ????) If they say A# the one thing you can be sure of though, is they are not classically trained, as you apparently are. Now for the circle of 5ths. (Make mine Black Velvet) Seriously, Input like yours makes everybody a more professional and proficient musician. Everybody should put out info like that whenever they think of it and we will all bennifit. And by the way, Even-though it sounded like it after I read it, I meant no insult with tthe A# thing. Just want to put out some good info and maybe a smile on a couple of faces too. Next topic will be about the key of C flat ---- I'm such a smartass, Later Alligator Steve rom: Fred Schmidt <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, August 6, 2009 7:58:03 PM Subject: Re: [Bass Place] Re: Hi Group ! New players might be saying here,"What is this guy going on about, Bb and not A#? Why?" Music theory 101: The diatonic scale goes up the alphabet each letter without repeating. So if you had a Bb major scale, you would have Bb C D Eb F G A. That goes up each letter with no repeats. Yes, the A# note is the same as a Bb note, but an A# diatonic scale would be A# C D D# F G A. That doesn't make sense as a scale, it doesn't have a B and the D repeats, as well as the A. That's why it's a Bb scale, and not an A# scale.

It's a Bb Tenor Saxophone! Recent Activity 2 New MembersVisit Your Group Yahoo! News Odd News You won't believe it, but it's true New business? Get new customers. List your web site in Yahoo! Search.
