Scale:

The movement from doh to the next available ‘HIGHER PITCHED’ doh. i.e (d - d’) is simply called scale. Movement from a doh to a higher doh is called Ascending Scale, while, movement from higher doh to a lower doh is called Descending Scale.

There are various scales used in music.

Examples are: Diatonic/Major Scale (d,r,m,f,s,l,t,d’), Pentatonic Scale, Chromatic Scale etc. (more on this later)

The most commonly used of all these scales is the Diatonic/Major Scale. This is the scale from which 99% of songs in the whole world are composed from in various pitch levels.

some chart will be shown on how to play each alphabet. This can now form the scales and tonic solfa for each instrument (violin, trumpet , sax, clarinet, guitar, piano)
