Stage 1 · Single Tones over a Drone

Melody 1.2

Major (Ionian)

1, 2, 7

New tone: 7

A drone plays the root of a major key. Over it you hear single tones from the scale degrees 1, 2, 7. Identify each tone by how it relates to the root – not by the step from the tone before. You will hear twelve keys with twelve tones each.
