Fibonacci Sequences in Music - Sound Healing Academy. Music, Fibonacci numbers and relationships to Phi. Musical scales are based on Fibonacci numbers The Fibonacci series appears in the foundation of aspects of art, beauty and life. Even music has a foundation in the series, as: There are 13 notes in the span of any note through its octave.A scale is composed of 8 notes, of which the5th and 3rd notes create the basic foundation of all chords, andare based on a tone which are combination of 2 steps and 1 step from the root tone, that is the 1st note of the scale. Note too how the piano keyboard scale of C to C above of 13 keys has 8 white keys and 5 black keys, split into groups of 3 and 2.While some might “note” that there are only 12 “notes” in the scale, if you don’t have a root and octave, a start and an end, you have no means of calculating the gradations in between, so this 13th note as the octave is essential to computing the frequencies of the other notes.

Musical frequencies are based on Fibonacci ratios * A440 is an arbitrary standard. Be Sociable. Inayat Khan, The Mysticism of Sound and Music.

The Healing Power of Sound and Overtone Chant

Every molecule, cell, tissue, organ, gland, bone and liquid in our bodies has its own specific rate of vibration. So too does each chakra and layer of our electromagnetic field or aura. These energy points and fields are of equal importance to the physical body, though less dense. In a sense they reflect the state of the physical body, but more importantly, the physical body reflects the state of the aura. Most illnesses begin in one of the subtle bodies. The "deep voice" chanting of the Tibetan monks and Mongolians, which only a few Westerners* have mastered, creates a second fundamental drone either in the pharynx or false vocal chords, which allows a second overtone to be amplified, a total of three or even four simultaneous sounds.

Through the regular use of sound combined with intention we may begin to vibrate faster at a cellular or molecular level. Important points to remember: Inayat Khan, The Mysticism of Sound and Music.
