98318345	hemiola	metric device where rhythmic relations of 3 notes occurs in the time of 2
98318346	syncopation	a musical rhythm accenting a normally weak beat
98318347	tonic	1-the note on which the scale is built
98318348	supertonic	2-above the tonic
98318349	mediant	3-halfway between tonic and dominant
98318350	subdominant	4-fifth below tonic
98318351	dominant	5-pitch dominating tonality, perfect 5th above tonic
98318352	submediant	6-median pitch, in between lower dominant and tonic
98318353	subtonic	7-one whole step below tonic
98318354	leading tone	7-leads upwards towards resolution in the tonic
98318355	blues scale	seven note scale that skips the 2nd and 6th degree but includes the flatted 5th and the 5th
98318356	ionian(major)	whole whole half whole whole whole half
98318357	harmonic minor	7th degree of minor is raised both ascending and descending, everything else like minor(whwwhww)
98318358	melodic minor	start with minor pentachord, then raise both 6th and 7th degree going up, natural minor going down
98318359	ionian	major scale
98318360	dorian	natural minor plus sharp 6
98318361	phrygian	natural minor plus flat 2
98318362	lydian	major plus sharp 4
98318363	mixolydian	major plus flat 7
98318364	aeolian	natural minor
98318365	locrian	major plus flat 2, flat 5
98318366	octatonic scale	alternates whoe step with half step intervals
98318367	consonant interval	p1,p5,p8,M3, m3, M6,m6
98318368	dissonant interval	M2, m2, M7, m7
98318369	perfect intervals	built from tonic up to notes in major scale-p1,p4,p5,p8
98318370	major intervals	M2, M3, M6, M7
98318371	tritone	augmented 4th
98318372	augmented triad	M3 plus A5
98318373	diminished triad	m3 plus dim5
98318374	major triad	M3 plus P5
98318375	minor triad	m3 plus P5
98318376	first inversion	root of chord in bass-6
98318377	2nd inversion	3rd of chord in bass-6/4
98318378	major minor 7th chord	M3, m3, M3
98318379	major minor 7th	M3, m3,m3
98318380	minor 7th	m3,M3,m3
98318381	Diminished minor(half diminished th)	m3, m3, M3
98318382	Diminished Diminished 7th	m3, m3, m3
98318383	perfect authentic cadence	A progression from (V to I in major keys) and (V to i in minor keys). Both chords must be in root position Strongest cadence from the standpoint of finality The tonic note must be the highest sounding pitch in the tonic triad
98318384	imperfect authentic cadence	type of cadence, slightly weaker than PAC due to either: highest sounding tone is something other than tonic, diminished seven chord is substituted for V, or one or both of the chords (V or I) is inverted
98318385	half cadence	A cadence which ends with the V chord
98318386	phrygian half cadence	A half cadence from iv to V in a minor key
98318387	plagal cadence	The last two chords of a phrase when they are IV-I
