Create 3 possible “basic parent” scales beginning on C. Remember, any basic parent scale beginning on C always contains
—C (sa) the tonal center and first tone of its raga
—G (pa) the perfect fifth above C
—C' (sa) the next C an octave above the beginning C.
Be sure to follow the lines/tracks as you move from left to right when you choose the seven consecutive pitches of your scales. (Examples will vary—there are 72 possibilities!)
What will be an ideal response?
• sa = C, ri = D#, ga = E, ma = F#, pa = G, da = Ab, ni = B, sa' = C'
• sa = C, ri = Db, ga = Eb, ma = F, pa = G, da = A, ni = Bb sa'= C'
• sa = C, ri = D, ga = E, ma = F#, pa = G, da = A#, ni = B, sa' = C'
