 The Scales

Definition: A scale is a sequence of ascending or descending notes proceeding by a specified scheme of
intervals. 

The distance between two successive notes is called a SCALE STEP, or TONE.

DO   RE   MI   FA   SOL   LA   SI   DO
      1       1      ½     1         1       1     1 ½

A tone is made up of two SEMITONES, or HALF STEPS. Most natural notes are a whole step
apart, and we need to be able to name the notes that appear in between two natural notes. 

Two particular symbols make it possible to obtain such notes, either by heightening the pitch of
any natural note, or by lowering it by a semitone: the sharpand the flat signs.

b                         Flat sign            Lowers the note by a half step
