Mechanics of Music

• OCTAVES
• The human ear perceives doubled frequencies as
  the same note.
• The combination of notes of doubled frequencies
  is so complete it sounds bland and uninteresting
  to the ear.
• In classical music notation notes of doubled
  frequency are assigned the same letter and the
  interval is called an octave.

4
Mechanics of Music

• Our western musical taste subdivides the octave
  interval into 12 equal tone divisions called
  notes.
• Actually the divisions are exponent multiples of
  2x/12 , but we will keep it simple
• If you line up all of the 12ths in order, it is
  called the Chromatic Scale.
• A pictorial representation of the Chromatic Scale
  is

Doubled Frequency (called octave)
5
Mechanics of Music

• The preferred musical scale of the western world
  is call the Major Scale. You will recognize the
  Major Scale as Do-Re-Mi
• If you compare the Chromatic Scale with the
  Major Scale, you will see that the Major Scale is
  a subset of the Chromatic Scale.

History of Music

• Brief History of Music

• Around the 14th century, the melodies and the
  chords were exclusively from the Major Scale
• Chords using notes outside the Major Scale were
  considered of poor taste and were unacceptable
• Playing these notes identified by the black dots
  were considered an accident. Thus the term
  accidentals was coined for black notes.

History of Music

• The organs from the 14th century only had the
  white keys correlating to the white dots below
• The black notes corresponding to the black dots
  shown below were not played. Playing them was so
  universally unaccepted, they were not installed
  in early keyboards.

  called flattening it. This gives us the term
  flat that is used in music today.

• Most songs melodies will stay on a scale as

  of the harmonies that go with the song as well

• Using the C Major scale, the first 3 note
  combination would be identified with C-E-G.
• Because the first note in this triad is note C,
  this chord is called a C chord.
• This chord is also classified as a 1 chord
  because the first note of this triad, called the
  root, is the first note of the scale.

• Now you can start to see the complexity of the

  problems
• There are 15 possible keys. We have looked into
  only 2 of those 15.
• Each Key requires a different scale and chord set
  that needs to be memorized.
• Too much rigor to reach even a novice level of
  proficiency is required for each key.
• In fact, each key has its own customized staff
  that has to be memorized for that key.

67
Classical Music System
Here is how the music staff represents the notes
of the C scale without sharps or flats.
With the Key of D, as we saw earlier, the F and
the C are sharped. Although there is no visible
difference in the look of the notes, the staff
with the sharps has to be memorized differently
and played differently.

• Our scale is now the set of notes signified by
  ABC3456.
• Our 1,4 and 5 chords are AC4, 35A and 46B
• Remember, the hand positions for these chords are
  the same in every key!!

• The classical staff no longer applies because
  sharps and flats are no longer used.
• Again, lets start from scratch. Lets use
  something that makes more sense.
• The staff is made of black lines and white
  spaces. Our keyboard is black keys and white
  keys. Can we use that to our advantage?

117
Uniform Music System
You bet we can. We have 6 black keys and 6 white
keys per octave. How about 6 black lines and 6
white spaces per octave on the staff?
118
Uniform Music System
What does our Scale now look like for the first
octave? What you see is what you play.
119
Uniform Music System
White spaces are white keys.
120
Uniform Music System
White spaces are white keys. Black lines are
black keys.

Suppose you change to the key of B?

125
Uniform Music System

• Lets summarize the advantages
• No sharps or flats
• What you see is what you play
• Everyone can inherently change keys
• All chord structures are the same in all keys
• Learning keys starting on black notes come
  naturally because they are inverted to the white
  keys.

Now there is one more problem with the classical
music system as it applies to pianos. All scale
fingerings and chord fingerings are inverted when
the left hand is compared to the right. If our
fingers are numbered 1 through 5 from thumb to
pinkie, the A chord of AC4 would be a fingering
of 1,3,5 on the right hand. However, the left
hand fingering would be 5,3,1. Learning
different fingerings of left vs. right for the
piano is a major obstacle to overcome because
humans are biologically symmetrical
127
Uniform Music System

• We have already changed the face of the piano to
  accommodate a more accurate sight/sound
  relationship, what could be changed on the piano
  to accommodate the humans biological symmetry?

128
Uniform Music System

• Seeing that our left hand is symmetrically
  inverted to our right hand, what on the piano
  could be physically inverted so that our left
  hand does not have to play inverted?

129
Uniform Music System

• Seeing that our left hand is symmetrically
  inverted to our right hand, what on the piano
  could be physically inverted so that our left
  hand does not have to be?
• HOW ABOUT THE KEYBOARD ITSELF!!!

• Fingering for the A scale on the left hand is
  12312345
• Again, the same.

I believe that you can see that for you to become
an expert at the traditional keyboard you have to
learn the scale and chord fingerings for 15
different keys on both the left and right hand.
With the Uniform System the Treble and Bass clefs
are exactly the sameno more cows eating grass
or good boys doing fine to learn the staff. The
Uniform Music System only requires you to learn 2
scale and chord fingerings. One configuration
for the white keys and one configuration for the
blacks THATS IT!!!!!

How Technology Helps
Technological Advantages and Answers
Now, one question is How can I learn this
because no music for the Uniform Staff exists.
Another question is Where will I get a piano
that has a Uniform Keyboard? The answer lies
with technology. No concert pianos with the
Uniform Keyboard yet exist. However, a prototype
electronic Uniform Keyboard already exists.
These keyboards could be available for less than
100. Software would also exist to easily
convert classical staff to Uniform staff.

Summary

• Clearly this is a paradigm shift in the music
  world. This will enable large numbers of people
  to write and play music who otherwise did not
  have the time or ability to learn the classical
  system.
