THE NBR, SYSTEM AND HOW IT WORKS…………….
FIRST WE HAVE TO UNDERSTRAND THAT THE PIANO, OR ORGAN IS DIVIDED INTO SEVERAL SPICIFIC TONES, AND THAT EACH TONE HAS A SCALE THAT REPRESENTS IT.
A TONE: IS , ( LOOKING AT THE BOARD), THOSE BLACK AND WHITE KEYS YOU SEE, SO WE NEED TO BREAK IT DOWN FOR YA.....
A SCALE = EIGHT NOTES!!!!!!!!
WE PICK A TONE- ( USE SAY C )
WE HAVE TO FIND THAT TONES SCALE
W = WHOLE STEP
H = HALF STEP…EX;
FROM C TO D IS A WHOLE STEP
FROM C TO C# IS A HALF STEP……
FORMULA: W,W, H,W,W,W,H ….THIS WILL WORK FOR FINDING ALL SCALES! THE TRICK IS TO … FIRST, NOW PAY ATTENTION!!!!! *** YOU START ON THE TONE THAT YOU WANT TO KNOW THE SCALE OF! THIS IS CRITICAL!
EX;
START ON TONE I WANT TO KNOW THE SCALE OF, LET’S SAY ………C………
SO FROM THE ..C TONE I WILL BEGIN MY FORMULA………ON THE…..D…..WHICH IS A WHOLE STEP AWAY FROM THE …C….TONE, AND SO FORTH AS THE FORMULA GOES!! NOW FAR AS THE NBRING GOES,…….THE…. C….. WILL BE YOUR …..1…… AND THE ….D….. WILL BE YOUR …2….AND SO ON ECT….
NOW BASICALLY; A SCALE OF A TONE WILL FALL WITHIN ITSELF!
EX;
C, SCALE - 1,,2,,3,,4,,5,,6,,7,,8
C,D,,E,,F,G,A,,B,C………….NOTICE! IT GOES FROM C………TO ………C!!!!!!!!
THIS IS ALL ON MY FIRST TAPE, AND IT IS FURTHER BROKEN DOWN SO YOU CAN UNDERSTAND IT IN EVERY KEY!!!!!!!!!
NOW THE NEXT STEP IS TO CONVERT THOSE INDIVIDUAL TONES INTO ACTUAL CHORDS WE WILL NEED; TO BE ABLE TO PLAY IN THAT PATICULAR TONE!!
THE WAY WE DO THIS; IS BY DOING THE FORMULA ON EVERYONE OF THOSE INDIVIDUAL EIGHT TONES, WHICH MEANS WE HAVE TO KNOW THOSE EIGHT NOTES OF THAT PATICULAR TONES SCALES………NOW I KNOW THAT MAY HAVE LOST YOU FOR A SECOND, BUT JUST READ IT AGAIN, AND AGAIN, IF YOU HAVE TOO, IT WILL MAKE SENSE……….WE CANNOT JUST PLAY A SONG USING SINGLE NOTES! IT’S POSSIBLE, BUT NOT ACCEPTABLE, …….WE NEED CHORDS!!!OK! SO,
EX;
THE …C…( OR THE 1 ) NOW HAS TO BE CONVERTED TO A CHORD, THIS IS HOW WE DO IT…..
WE TAKE THE C, SCALE - 1,,2,,3,,4,,5,,6,,7,,8
C,D,,E,,F,G,A,,B,C………….
THEN WE TAKE THE…..1(C),, 3(E),,5(G) = C,,E,,G = 1 CHORD…..
NOW THIS MUST BE DONE FOR ALL OF THE TONES THAT MAKE UP THE C SCALE!!!! UNTIL WE HAVE …………EIGHT CHORDS……… AND THEN WE ARE READY TO MAKE SOME NOISE ….LOL
NOW THESE EIGHT CHORDS ARE THE BASIC CHORDS WE WILL NEED TO START PLAYING MUSIC………BUT REMEMBER, THESE ARE JUST THE BASIC CHORDS, IT’S JUST THE BEGINNING!!!!
THIS MUST BE DONE IN ALL KEYS IN ORDER TO PLAY THIS INSTRUMENT WITH ANY REAL CLEARITY OF SKILL! ARE YOU READY???????????? NOW MY TAPE TWO WILL TAKE IT FROM HERE, AND WE WILL REALLY GET INTO SOME OTHER THINGS!!!!!!!!!! COME AND GET IT!!!!!!!!!!
GIERES!!!!!!!!!!!!
