The Lydian-Mixolydian scale is so-named because the first tetrachord resembles the first tetrachord of the Lydian mode, and the second tetrachord resembles the second tetrachord of the Mixolydian mode.

These skill-sets, in tandem with rhythm, will prepare the student for exploring first the grammar, then the syntax of the musical language.

The C-Clef on the lowest line of the staff is called Soprano Clef, the second line Mezzo-Soprano Clef, the third line Alto Clef, the fourth line Tenor Clef and the top line Baritone Clef. Two clefs are no longer in use, French Violin Clef (locating G4) on the lowest line of the staff, and a Bass Clef (F-Clef) located on the middle line of the staff.

The lowest pitch, called gamma, extended to the highest pitch, ut: the contraction of these two terms, gamut, has entered the language to mean “a complete range or scope.”

The use of register designations is coupled with, and reinforced by, the visual tool of the piano keyboard. In order to avoid using ledger lines, the passage is written in a lower octave, then labeled above the staff if 8va, below the staff if 8vb.

In a simple meter, inserting a compound division (artificially dividing the beat into three equal portions) is called a triplet and is written thus:

The distance of a semi-tone or half step is the same for any two adjacent pitches across the keyboard. Define whole steps and half steps in the context of the piano keyboard.

Since this was done to correct the perceived melodic flaw, a third form of the minor scale came to be recognized, called the Melodic Form of the Minor scale, or simply Melodic Minor.
