Intro

In Music we usually define a 'key' to which we relate what we play. A key is defined by its root note.

So for example if we take the key of 'C' we have 'C' as our root note. Now how would do we know what other notes we can use in the key of 'C'? So this is where music theory comes in and you would go ahead and apply intervals (difference between notes in numbers --> 1 above 'C' would be 'D') up until we are at the root note again, but one octave higher. One octave would be 12 semi tones higher than the root note. So in the case of 'C' it is a C again, but played higher.

Confused yet? Good! Cause that's what PSHarmonize is for!
