But before we go into all that, let&#8217;s devote some minutes to the review of the concept of key.<\/p>\n<h2>A Short Note On The Concept Of Key<\/h2>\n<p>When musicians say <em>key<\/em>, what do they really mean? I&#8217;ll tell you.<\/p>\n<p>Although there are several notes on the piano:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;they are basically categorized into twelve musical notes:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,Cs,D,Ds,E,F,Fs,G,Gs,A,As,B&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;with each musical note having duplicates across the keyboard layout.<\/p>\n<p>The establishment of a given note (by a collection of other notes) as a principal note creates a <em>key center<\/em> &#8211; which is commonly known as a key. For example, the establishment of the note C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;as a key center requires a collection of other notes. These other notes are essential components of the key of C major:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>C is the tonic<\/p>\n<p>D is the supertonic<\/p>\n<p>E is the mediant<\/p>\n<p>F is the subdominant<\/p>\n<p>G is the dominant<\/p>\n<p>A is the submediant<\/p>\n<p>B is the subtonic<\/p>\n<p>C is the octave<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Altogether, these eight components (from the tonic to the octave) make up what musicians call key.<\/p>\n<p>There are two key types &#8211; the major key and the minor key. While qualities like light and happiness are attributed to the major key, the minor key [usually] depicts darkness, sadness, the ghostly, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>In a nutshell, the note C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;can either be established as a major key:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;or as a minor key:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,Eb,F,G,Ab,Bb,C&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nAlright! Let&#8217;s go ahead and focus on the diatonic and the chromatic.<\/p>\n<h2>A Quick Review On The Term Diatonic<\/h2>\n<p>The origin of the term <em>diatonic <\/em>is Greek, and it means <em>progressing through tones<\/em>. From a literal standpoint, a progression through the white notes on the piano from C to C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;without any of the black notes:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Cs,Ds,Fs,Gs,As,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;can be considered to be diatonic.<\/p>\n<p>The outcome of progressing from any of the several white notes on the piano to its octave is also considered to be diatonic. For example, from D to D:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,D&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;E to E:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,F,G,A,B,C,D,E&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;F to F:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,G,A,B,C,D,E,F&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;G to G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,A,B,C,D,E,F,G&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;A to A:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=A,B,C,D,E,F,G,A,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;B to B:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=B,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>A Tonal Perspective To The Term Diatonic<\/h3>\n<p>The term diatonic can be used to describe the notes that belong to a particular key &#8211; whether major or minor. For example, in the key of D major, these notes:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,E,Fs,G,A,B,Cs,D&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;are considered to be diatonic.<\/p>\n<p>Although F# and C#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Fs,Cs&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;are literally non-diatonic, due the fact that they belong to the prevalent key, they are considered to be diatonic.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;In A Nutshell&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Any musical element (be it a note, scale, interval, chord, or chord progression) that is based on the notes of a particular key is diatonic. Before we proceed to the next segment, take note of the following:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Diatonic notes:<\/strong>\u00a0These are notes that belong to a given key.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Diatonic scales:\u00a0<\/strong>The traditional scales of the major and minor key.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Diatonic intervals:\u00a0<\/strong>Intervals that are formed from two notes that belong to a particular key.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Diatonic chords:\u00a0<\/strong>Chords that are made up of the notes of a given key.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Diatonic chord progression:\u00a0<\/strong>Chord movement from one diatonic chord to another.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>A Flashback On The Term Chromatic<\/h2>\n<p>The term chromatic has to do with colors. On a very basic level, seven white notes on the piano:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;are considered to be natural, while the black notes are considered to be accidental or chromatic, because they add <em>color<\/em> to the natural notes.<\/p>\n<p>C#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Cs,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is a chromatic (or colorful) variant of the natural C note:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nDb and D#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Db,Ds,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;are chromatic (or colorful) variants of the natural D note:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nEb:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Eb,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is a chromatic (or colorful) variant of the natural E note:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nF#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Fs,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is a chromatic (or colorful) variant of the natural F note:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nGb and G#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Gb,Gs,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;are chromatic (or colorful) variants of the natural G note:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nAb and A#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Ab,As,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;are chromatic (or colorful) variants of the natural A note:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,A,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nBb:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Bb,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is a chromatic (or colorful) variant of the natural B note:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,B,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<em>&#8220;Beyond The Black Notes&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Two or three notes that have the same letter names, are chromatically related. For example, Db, D and D#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Db,D,Ds,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;are chromatically related.<\/p>\n<p>In the key of Ab:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=Ab,Bb,C,Db,Eb,F,G,Ab,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n..where Db:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Db,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is the fourth tone of the scale, D:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;would be considered as a chromatic variant of the fourth tone, irrespective of its white color because it is foreign to the key of Ab:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=Ab,Bb,C,Db,Eb,F,G,Ab,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nIn a nutshell, the term chromatic is basically used to describe a musical idea [be it a note, scale, chord, or chord-progression] that is foreign to a particular key environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this lesson,
