About Musical Scales
What are Scales?
Musical scales are sequences of notes arranged by pitch. They form the foundation of melodies, harmonies, and musical composition across all genres and cultures.
Why Different Root Notes?
Each root note creates a different tonal center. The same scale pattern starting from different notes will have different pitches but maintain the same intervallic relationships.
Scale Categories
Our collection includes diatonic scales (major/minor), modal scales (Dorian, Lydian, etc.), pentatonic scales, blues scales, and specialized theoretical scales.
Practical Use
Use these scales for composition, improvisation, music analysis, and understanding the harmonic structure of your favorite songs.
