1st part: Introduction
If you love music, take a few minutes of your time and read attentively what is following and discover one of the greatest inventions based on a new musical perception. Everything started when the inventor associate together the diatonic scale and the chromatic scale by using numbers to indicate each degree (see Fig.1). By looking at the numbers that correspond to the intervals that constitute a Perfect Major Chord, you can see appear the legendary Fibonacci sequence (the golden section - PHI). With the discovery of a “Musical Universal Key”, M. Sylvain Lalonde, the inventor, demonstrates where this revolutionary easy approach method begin.

2nd part: Diatonic scale vs Chromatic scale
Let's look at the same graphics on a 360-degree platform.. The use of black and white is used to represent the notes of a piano, to help understand this new perception.
Select and print Fig. 3 (picture) cut the two discs, then cut down the 7 windows that correspond to the intervals on disc 1 (Item 32). Overlap disc 1 over the second disc (Item 30) and then position the 1st degree (“Tonic”) on C,
you’ll get the “C-D-E-F-G-A-B” sequence.
Fig.3
Now move the “Tonic” on the “Fifth”, the G, this way you obtain the alterations that constitutes the key frame of our tonal system and so on. We call this:
The Cycle of the Fifths
(Ascendant = Sharp order = F#, C#, G#, D#, A#, E#, B#)
(Descendant = Flat order = Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Cb, Fb)
3rd part: The Harmonics
« the Third circle »
C, E, G, B, D, F, A
What is important here is that no matter the tone (tonal height) in which we play,
the intervals will always be the same :
either major (which constitute the key frame of our tonal system) or minor.
