Piano key frequencies. This is a list of the fundamental frequencies in hertz (cycles per second) of the keys of a modern 88-key standard or 108-key extended piano in twelve-tone equal temperament, with the 49th key, the fifth A (called A 4 ), tuned to 440 Hz (referred to as A440 ).
showing the absolute frequencies in hertz (cycles per second) of the notes on a modern piano (typically containing 88 keys) in twelve-tone equal temperament, with the 49th key, the fifth A (called A4), tuned to 440 Hz (referred to as A440). Each successive pitch is derived by multiplying (ascending) or dividing (descending) the previous by the ...

May 6, 2014 · This chart displays the frequency of all notes: As a reference, 60 midi number = middle C on the piano. A piano has seperate strings for each note. So the fact that the A is different wouldn't necessarily mean the others are not in tune with 440. Depending on what the tuner did.

Pivot modulation is very common and is done by moving into a new key via a “pivot” chord from the new key. Sometimes the pivot chord is shared by both the old and the new key. Here’s an example of what I’m talking about (Ex. 1). As you can see, the music starts in the key of C major and modulates to D major via an Em chord. Em belongs to both keys....
Common-tone modulation uses a pitch from the old key as a bridge between it and the new key. In the examples below, an F chord (F, A, C) would have a total of 12 potential keys to which it could modulate. They are A major, C major, F minor, F# minor, Ab major, Bb major, Bb minor, C minor, C major, D major and D minor. In the example below, the comm...
Common-chord modulation is very similar to common-tone modulation. While common-tone modulation shares 1 or 2 notes with the new key, common-chord modulation shares all 3 notes. Here’s an example. As you can see, the common chord between the key of G major and C major is C (C – E – G). Example 1: G major to C major
2 – 5 – 1 modulation is done by jumping to the 2-5-1 one progression in the new key. There are actually a number of variations of this kind of modulation. Each one uses a different chord for the 2 – chord. Here is one that uses a minor 7 chord. Example 1: This one uses a dominant 7 chord. It’s also called a secondary dominant. Example 2: This examp...
The diminished 7 chord is by far the most versatile of chords when it comes to modulation. Lowering any of the notes by a half step causes the chord to become a dominant 7 chord in the new key. Dominant 7 chords naturally resolve to 1 of the new key. Here are a few examples: The notes in a C#dim7 chord are C# – E – G – C? (Bb). Example 1: Alter the...
In a world where the average attention span of most people is a matter of seconds, using modulation in the music you write and arrange can be the difference between someone listening to a whole song or changing the channel to look for something better.
