10 simple tricks: balances in the Kalimba 17 notes in C
Learning the musical scale of your kalimba is very important for understanding your kalimba and the music you can make. The scale is like a magic key that will open many doors. But what if I told you that your kalimba, in its current version, plays on several different scales?
Each scale is like a universe of musical possibilities. We've got ten tips to help you use four different scales, in 17-Note C, in your music. Each of these four scales is like a different country or flavor. If you want this kind of richness in your Kalimba game, read on!
The tablature and sound recordings in this series of tips, "Little Bits of Music - Playing Scales", are specifically designed for the 17 C Kalimba, but generally apply to several different Kalimbas: you can also use this Kalimba tablature raised to G, or Kalimba Bb Treble (they are presented and painted in the same way). However, the sound recordings will be in a different key. If you have a different type of Kalimba, it may be necessary to make a greater conceptual leap to associate this instruction with your particular Kalimba.
These tips show you how to play C major, C minor and A minor scales in your 17-note Kalimba, how to use these scales in melodies and much more.
Perhaps the best part is that each tip contains a small segment of music. The cutting-edge concept is conveyed in text and illustrated with a 3- or 4-bar-long piece of tablature, which will fit perfectly on your phone or tablet screen. And by clicking on the tablature or on the button below, you can hear the sound of this small piece of music.

Little pieces of music - Balance of play - The C major scale
The notes his kalimba probably sound like the white notes of a piano. However, the way you play them ends up being totally different from a piano ... because the notes are organized differently from a piano. This tip guides you through the C major scale and gives you an idea of why scales are so important.

The smallest scale D
If you start on the middle tooth - C - and alternate - right - left - right - left upwards and stop 8 notes higher, on the C on the left, you've just enlarged the C scale.
Now, instead of starting and ending at C, try starting at the bottom D just to the left of the center tooth ... and alternate your way to the scale and stop at D. This is a smaller scale at D.

A song that uses the D minor scale
This tip illustrates music you can play in the D minor mode of your kalimba. Of course, the real lesson is that YOU create music in D minor mode, so pay attention to this music and then try to create your own.

Minor scale
We played the D minor scale, made up of D to D, F, G, A, B, C and ending in D.
We can obtain a slightly smaller scale by proceeding in the same way, but starting with A, B, C, D, E, F, G, A.

Music on the smallest scale
In fact, the song lives on a smaller scale. Breathe the air and drink the water of the minor. Know the curves and turns of the miner and follow them. It's founded in the land of the miner.
OK, I like to be dramatic.

Edge from top to bottom of minor scale
This is a great exercise to help you get to grips with your kalimba. Each bar has only three different notes: for example, in the first bar, it says A B C B A. There's even a little extra time left on this last note, so you can prepare for the next part.
And the next measure reproduces the same pattern, but a notch higher on the scale.
Learning to advise
G scale: almost the main scale
The major sun scale generally has an F #. However, if you play on a Kalimba scale of 17 notes of C, you get a natural F or a flattened seventh on the major scale (8 consecutive tonal notes).
In music theory terms, this is the G-mode mixolide.
Learning to advise
The upper octave of the C major scale
Do the math. You have a 17-note kalimba. There are 8 notes in an octave of a scale. For the major scale C, which begins with the lowest note of your kalimba, you can obtain a higher octave version of this scale.
And now here it is!
