Music Theory for Songwriters

Episode 6: Scale Degree Numbers, Nashville Number System, and Intervals


Listen Later

Last episode we discussed Whole Steps and Half Steps and the pattern of steps to create a C Major Scale. In this episode, we shift the perspective to refer to each note of the scale (scale degree) as a number, rather than a letter. Sort of an introduction to the Nashville Number System. We also use numbers to identify Intervals in melodies. For example, C to D is a 2nd, since D is the 2nd note of the scale. Thanks for listening, and search for Erol Oz on Spotify.
