Musical Abacus

Título: Example on Composition with the Musical Abacus Descripción: Taking into account the basic elements of music (melody, harmony and rhythm) a simple composition is carried out, in a major key and using only two chords (tonic and dominant seventh). The Musical Abacus is used for obtaining the notes involved in the melody and the chords. Nuño Fernández, L. (2018). Example on Composition with the Musical Abacus.

Título: Musical Abacus - Summary Descripción: A summary of Music Theory is presented and it is shown how it is integrated in the Musical Abacus. As well, answers are given to several questions that usually arise when one begins to study Music. To do it, a diagram is introduced, which starts with the Theory of Harmonics and ends with Major and minor Scales. Nuño Fernández, L. (2017). Musical Abacus - Summary.

Título: Musical Abacus - Key signatures Descripción: The C Major Scale is first considered and their notes are sorted by perfect fifths. Then, by adding notes above them the scales with sharps are obtained, as well as the order of sharps. Similarly, by adding notes below them the scales with flats are obtained, as well as the order of flats. All the keys are arranged in the Cycle of Fifths. The major scales can also be obtained by connecting tetrachords. Nuño Fernández, L. (2017). Musical Abacus - Key signatures.

Título: Chords and Keys Descripción: From the analysis of harmonics, the concept of major chord is established. With 3 major chords, the major key is obtained, as well as its corresponding major scale. Then, the minor consonant chord is built in an artificial way. With 3 minor chords, the minor key is obtained, as well as its corresponding minor scale. The natural, harmonic and melodic minor scales are explained. It is also indicated which are the main chords in a key. The concept of consonance is one of the basic principles in Western music. Nuño Fernández, L. (2016). Chords and Keys.

Título: Intervals Descripción: From the major scale and the harmonics, the perfect and major intervals are explained. Then, the minor intervals are defined, as well as the augmented and diminished ones. Additionally, it is explained in what consists the inversion of an interval and the corresponding rules are given. Finally, those intervals considered consonant are identified. The concept of consonance is one of the basic principles in Western music. Nuño Fernández, L. (2015). Intervals.

Título: The Major Scale Descripción: From the analysis of sounds, the 7 notes composing a major key and its corresponding major scale are obtained in a reasoned way. These concepts represent one of the basic principles in Western music. This way, it is explained why there are only 7 names for the 12 musical notes. Nuño Fernández, L. (2015). The Major Scale.

Título: The 12 Musical Notes Descripción: From the analysis of sounds, a detailed explanation is given for one of the basic principles in Western music: the concept of octave and its division into 12 parts. In other words, it is explained why we use 12 notes for writing music. Nuño Fernández, L. (2015). The 12 Musical Notes.

Título: Musical Abacus Descripción: The MUSICAL ABACUS integrates the main concepts in Music Theory, relating them in a logical and ordered way. Each of its 12 possible positions corresponds to a Major Key and its relative minor. The Keys are sorted out by Perfect Fifths. Each position contains: 1) The Major Scale and its relative minor. 2) The Intervals from the Tonic of the Major Scale. 3) The Key Signature for both Keys. 4) The Order of Sharps and Flats. 5) The 3 Main Chords in both Keys and their Arpeggios. 6) The Harmonics of the Tonic of the Major Key.
