AP Music Theory 1.1 Music Terminology, Terms & Symbols

and here the potential answer All right first things first

let's figure out what notes we're looking at here We

know we're in trouble class so that means we have

f g a and b flat If we take a

look at our options we know we can eliminate some

of these scales pretty quickly How can we do that

Two words magic chicken wait what No different to words

And there we go He signatures that's Better way know

that d major has two sharps in its key signature

f sharp and c sharp We also know b minor

is the relative minor of d major So it has

the same two sharps And if we take a look

back at the scale we can see it has an

f natural not in f sharp So naturally that means

we can eliminate both bnd now in a whole tone

scale each tone is related to the other by a

whole step and a quick glance at our scale shows

us that's Definitely not what we're dealing with here there's

only a half step between a and b flat which

means we can eliminate option c which leaves us with

the drum roll please Yeah f major f g a

and b flat are the first four notes in any

f major scale for the more f major has just

one flattened its key signature b flat another quick glance

at our scale and yet be flat is the last

note Looks like we can say is the correct answer

without running into any trouble Sorry we'll cut out the 00:01:40.929 --> [endTime] puns tone it down if you will
