8: Challenges

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

  • 8.1: Ear Training
  • 8.2: Tuning System
    The first thing musicians must do before they can play together is "tune". For musicians in the standard Western music tradition, this means agreeing on exactly what pitch (what frequency) is an "A", what is a "B flat" and so on. Other cultures not only have different note names and different scales, they may even have different notes - different pitches - based on a different tuning system.
  • 8.3: Modes and Ragas
  • 8.4: Transposition- Changing Keys
