One can say that it is a pitch itself. The base musical notes are sung in different ways in different countries. However, the most popular way of singing them is in "Do-Re-Mi-Fa..."

They are: 1)Number of notes in music. 2) The formation of a major scale: the seven positions. 3)Pentatonic Minor and Blues scales. 4)The Three types of minor scales. 5)Arpeggios. 6)Chord Families. 7)Styles of Music. 8)Mode/Modal Theory. 9)Transposing. 10)Rhythm Patterns. Note that I plan on covering a topic or two of these every post from now on. So be sure to see my next blog post! Thank you.
