Following on from the concept of anchor intervals, the next patterns are useful to practice:
- 1-5-6-5-1-7-1
- 1-3-5-6-5-3-1-7-1
- 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-6-5-4-3-2-1-7-1
The idea behind it:
- We start from the awareness of the fifth,
- We "fill" the fifth with a third to a triad.
- We complete the triad to a scale pattern.
Moving from coarse-meshed to fine-meshed.
In this case the grid is formed by the tones 1, 3 and 5. Just as the pure fifth is an anchor interval, the triad can be considered an anchor chord. In the case of western tonal music we speak not without reason of triad based music.
Notation examples: (1 through 6 refer to the modal patterns ionian-aeolian
1-2-3-4-5-6-5-4-3-2-1-7-1 * indicates half step
