What is a descending chromatic scale?
Put simply, a chromatic scale is all twelve notes arranged in ascending or descending order of pitch. It's made up entirely of semitones (half steps) with each note being a semitone above or below the last note. ... To descend you play the note one semitone (half step) lower until you reach your starting note.
What is the correct order for the chromatic scale?
The chromatic scale is the scale that includes all twelve tones in sequential order: A, A#/Bb, B, C, C#/Db, D, D#/Eb, E, F, F#/Gb, G, and G#/Ab. The chromatic scale can start from any of the twelve tones, so there are twelve different iterations or inversions of the scale.
