 Chromatic scale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
All of the other scales in traditional Western music are subsets of this scale.
The term 'chromatic' is understood by musicians to refer to music which includes tones which are not members of the prevailing scale, and also as a word descriptive of those individually non-diatonic tones.
As tonal harmony continued to widen and even break down, the chromatic scale became the basis of modern music written using the twelve tone technique, a tone row being a specific ordering or series of the chromatic scale, and later serialism.

After a little experience listening to different kinds of scales, they discover that playing the tones in a particular scale produces a specific kind of feeling for them and for their listeners.
