                    ▶   Musical Notes represent different pitches and form the foundation of melodies and harmonies.
                    ▶   The Musical Alphabet consists of seven letters (A, B, C, D, E, F, G), which repeat in higher and lower octaves.
                    ▶   12 Semitones in an Octave:
                       ●  Includes natural notes (white keys on a piano) and sharp (#)/flat (♭) notes (black keys).
                       ●  Example: A, A#/B♭, B, C, C#/D♭, D, D#/E♭, E, F, F#/G♭, G, G#/A♭.
                    ▶   Note Intervals: The distance between two notes.
                       ●  Whole step (tone) = Two semitones.
                       ●  Half step (semitone) = One semitone.
                       ●  Examples: Minor second (1 semitone), Major third (4 semitones), Perfect fifth (7 semitones).
                    ▶   The Major Scale follows a pattern of whole and half steps: W - W - H - W - W - W - H
                    ▶   Example: C Major Scale = C - D - E - F - G - A - B - C.

                  Understanding  musical  notes, pitch,  and  scales is essential  for  composing  melodies  and
                  harmonies. These concepts help in both traditional and digital music creation. With this foundation,

                  we now move  to  MIDI  (Musical  Instrument  Digital  Interface), a technology  that  allows digital
                  instruments and computers to communicate. In the next lesson, we will explore MIDI sequencing,
                  how to use virtual instruments, and how MIDI enhances music production in DAWs like BandLab.
