Sulam (Hebrew for scale, ladder)

From Astrith Baltsan Gershwin with Israeli Philharmonic אסתרית בלצן - YouTube:

One thing I found remarkable is that the Hebrew word she was using for "scale" (as in the musical scale) is sulam, which is the Torah's word for ladder (as in Jacob's ladder reaching from earth to heaven).
