2. What’s He Going to Talk About?
Indian music (the very short version).
Demonstration (the long version).
Pearls of wisdom.

3. Indian Music Also a 12 tone system.
Note names: Sa, Re, Ga, Ma, Pa, Da, Ni, Sa = Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti, Do.
“Komal” = “b”, “Tivra” = “#”. All 12 tones: Sa, Komal-Re, Re, Komal-Ga, Ga, Ma, Tivra-Ma, Pa, Komal-Da, Da, Komal-Ni, Ni.
Note names are relative to a base tone.

4. Lists vs. Sequences List: A collection of mutually exclusive items.
Sequence: All items, whether duplicated or not, are necessary and need to be in a specific order.
Example:
C, C, G, G, A, A, G, F, F, E, E, D, D, C. – Sequence
C, D, E, F, G, A. – List
