🎵🧠Yesterday, I embarked on a captivating exploration within the pages of book"Le secret de Pythagore dévoilé ou Le fond de la musique ", delving into the profound connection between music and mathematics. At the core of all music lies sound itself - a fascinating phenomenon intricately woven with mathematical principles. From the vibration of strings to the propagation of sound waves, every musical note can be mathematically characterized by its amplitude and frequency.🎶 One of the fundamental insights of Pythagorean thought was the concept of harmonics - the fundamental frequency of a vibrating string and its higher-order multiples, known as harmonics, form the basis of musical tones. This exploration led to the development of the Pythagorean scale, where intervals such as the octave and the fifth were considered consonant and served as building blocks for musical compositions🌟 #Harmony #Music #Mathematic #pythagore #tones #theorem #frequency #vibration #continuouslearning

6 ALT DOMINANT CHORDS TO PAIR WITH A DIMINISHED SCALE Over the weekend we introduced the DIMINISHED SCALE; a symmetrical scale that consists alternating whole and half steps (or vice versa). The diminished scale is used to add tension, dissonance, and unique color to the harmony, and widely used in jazz, fusion, and classical music. The dissonant and unresolved quality of the diminished scale adds a sense of unease or mystery to musical passages. One notable characteristic of the diminished scale is that it contains four distinct diminished seventh chords within it. For example, in the C whole-half diminished scale, the diminished seventh chords are Cdim7, Ddim7, Ebdim7, and F#dim7. This allows for chord substitution and chromatic movement in chord progressions. The diminished scale can easily be used over the diminished 7th chords since the diminished chords are derivatives from the said scale, Previously, we also treated ALTERED DOMINANT CHORDS, so today we'll be paying attention to a few altered dominant chord with which we can use the diminished scale over. Its use over dominant chords with altered extensions obviously adds tension and color to the harmony. Its unique structure allows for complex melodic patterns and chord substitutions. Whether for improvisation or composition, the diminished scale offers a wide range of possibilities to enhance musical expression. See slides: #prosam #pianolessons #musicbusiness
