Diatonic Scales

By Sweetwater on May 2, 2001

Diatonics are the predominate note scales used in modern Western music. Modern performers (especially in most forms of popular music today) have a tendency to conform their music into these scales. There are modes within diatonic music named for the classical Greek modes, though they no longer represent the same scales – the Ionian mode, the Mixolydian mode, the Dorian mode, the Aeolian mode, the Phrygian mode, the Locrian mode, and the Lydian mode. Each mode has a different, distinctive sound to the accustomed ear.

If you do not, interest will be charged on the promo balance from the purchase date. The required minimum monthly payments may or may not pay off the promo balance before the end of the promo period, depending on purchase amount, promo length and payment allocation.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.
