Menyusun Tangga Nada Kres

Main Ideas / Concepts Taught

• The video explains how to compose sharp scales and contrasts sharp vs. flat scales.
• Sharp scales and flat scales are treated as opposites in pitch movement:
  • Sharps: move up by half a scale (half-step).
  • Flats: move down by half a scale (half-step).
• The lesson focuses on arranging the 1 sharp to 7 sharp scales and how to build them systematically.
• A key reference is the neutral (natural) C–D–E–F–G–A–B scale:
  • The speaker states the neutral scale is “already there,” starting at C and ending at B.
• Construction is incremental: when building the next sharp scale, you use the scale you formed previously.

Methodology / Step-by-Step Instructions (as Described)

Common 3-Step Method for Composing Sharp Scales

1. Find the starting point using the “5th note from the previous scale”

   • When moving from one sharp scale to the next, the “first step” is based on:
     • the 5th note from the previous scale
   • The example pattern suggests the rule is to use the previous scale’s 5th note as the reference.

2. Arrange the notes in sequence from that point

   • The second step is to arrange the notes “in sequence.”
   • The speaker repeatedly lists patterns such as:
     • C, D, E, F, G, A, B, plus sharp variants like F#, C#, D#, G#, etc.

3. Raise the relevant note by a half-step (“7th note goes up half a scale”)

   • The third step is:
     • Take the 7th note and raise it by a half-step (make it “sharp”).
   • This is presented as the mechanism that converts a neutral/natural progression into a sharp scale progression.

Applying the Method to Multiple “Sharp Levels”

• You build progressively from:
  • 1 sharp, 2 sharps, up to 7 sharps
• At each stage, the process follows the same logic:
  1. Use the 5th note from the previous scale as the reference.
  2. Arrange the notes in sequence.
  3. Raise the 7th note by a half-step.

Exam / Learning Guidance Included

• The instructor says this material is included in the semester exam.
• Viewers are advised to:
  • Write notes and pause the video to practice.
• The speaker indicates they will later share another video about composing scales from flat to higher flat values (subtitles appear unclear, but the topic is “flats” progression).
