Numbers As Intervals In Music

A lot of times, when referring to an interval, people will refer to it as a Number instead of the actual note.

The example is that A B C# D E F# can be written as 1 2 3 4 5 6. This is effective because it easily allows you to change keys and transpose. 1 2 3 4 5 6 in the key of D would be D E F# G A B. So I transcribe the notes and show you how its’ done with this post. Check it out!

The program I’m using is called Sibelius – check out Sibelius 6

    I just found your website yesterday, and I have learned more in 2 hours than I have in 10 years. Your site and video tutorials are exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for everything and for things to come. My question is that I notice that some notes on a sheet of music are written lower than they are played. Example: The high E note (24th fret) pitch is higher than than the treble clef but it is written lower. Please explain. Would you also explain chords further? Example: Cadd9 (what is the “add9″ and how is it found?

    @CES use your ears – learning how to personally transcribe music is the best tool you could learn and will make you a more independent musician – and that’s powerful. Give it a shot, rather than depending on someone like me. It’s what I do!

    Was there an 8va written over the note? Or something at the beginning of the piece, or earlier in the measure saying something like “played an octave higher?”

    Or was there anything mentioning harmonics?

    “This is universal,” as you said, really nails it. The numbering system of the basis of music theory. From the first note to the second is a major second. One to three, a third. And so on.
