THE CLAVISET TEST Claviset Test Part 1 Claviset scales are made of repeating sets of seven notes. The notes are named for their numbers, 1 through 7, and then the next higher octave repeats 1 through 7, and so on. Fill in the missing numbers in the following scale notes table without looking at the answer:
Answer to Part 1:
If you answered anything in Part 1 incorrectly, try again and see if you can get it. Remember, keep counting upward from 1 to 7 and then start over again. Look at the picture of the Claviset keys below. If those numbers you just figured out were notes, you could just play them sequentially from 1 to 7 and keep right on going to 1+, 2+, etc. The + just indicates in this figure that the octave is higher than the previous one. You are ready to take Part 2 of the test now. Congratulations!
Claviset Test Part 2 Claviset primary chords are made of three notes. The chord gets its name from the first note used in the chord. The sequence of notes used in each chord is to skip every other note. As you pass 7, just keep going, starting over at 1. Let's try the first one, Chord 1. We start with note 1, skip note 2, use note 3, skip note 4, and use note 5, so the notes of chord 1 are 1, 3 and 5. Got it? Now for the test. Fill in the missing numbers in the following chord notes table without looking at the answer:
Answer to Part 2 including traditional chord names in C Major (C1):
If you answered Part 2 correctly, you have learned most of what you need to know to play Claviset. If you got anything wrong, look again and see if you can get it all correctly. Just follow the sequence. The traditional chord names are shown (assuming a scale of C 1) just so you know how well this relates to traditional music, yet uses such a simple pattern! The beauty of this system is that this is the only pattern you need to learn! To reinforce what you just learned, look at how the chords are actually played on Claviset. You ready to learn how to play Claviset or to see how the system works. |
