Notes of the Scale and how to remember them.
It's just like the husband coming home from
a hard day at the office.


1=TONIC: Just right after that hard day.

2=SUPERTONIC: As a tonic but with added Gin.

3=MEDIANT: Call upon to act as mediator between wife and screaming kids.

4=SUBDOMINANT: A tactical posture in the face of wifely anger.

5=DOMINANT: What the wife has become.

6=SUBMEDIANT: Laying on the "yes dear"
"you are right dear" really thick.

7=LEADING NOTE: Signs of reconciliation.

8=OCTAVE NOTE: Can you manage an eighth time?
