I learned the tone/semitone formula a long time ago, but this was still as a way to visualise the notes for each major chord.
Nice one.
Im a beginner and Ive always had trouble remembering a new scale when using the pattern. I’ve managed to get away with figuring out a scale by playing it by ear and but even then its still a trial and error thing.
I always love a tip that just makes everything click, thank you!
Actually, as a beginner pianist, this is the first time I understand scales❤ super clear and helpful
Glad it was helpful!
This is so helpful. Thank you!
Thank you so much for these great videos, I always come back to your channel to get a better understanding and some great tips I don’t find in others even for paid ones. Love your work!
Brilliant. Game changing.
Great description.
A terrific job. I have to also mention the diagram of the Circle of Fifths is very helpful to see the relationships. I used to practice the scales moving up a whole step at the time, going from C to D to E, etc. I now would go up a half step at a time. Good for ear training . I have to also mention the 6th note is the relative minor for the major key.
All good tips too, thanks
Genius!!😊
Thanks
This helped me see and visualize what you had talked about previously. I'm a rank beginner and I think this method of visualizing will help once I put it in practice.
By far the best on TH-cam.
Appreciate it, lots of good channels but glad this one helps you
Nice content
❤ Thank you
Thanks !! Its very good for understanding. But how to memorize this ? It does'nt serve much purpose to facilitate the memorization process which we shall over a period of use or rather extended use.
You can’t buy anything from the shop! It says “ join the mailing list “ which I’ve done but it doesn’t help!
I was referred to your channel from another channel by Matthew Cawood who is awesome. So you can thank him : )
I LOVE this! Great visual representation of the notes/keys of the scale. Where can I get the blocks so I can try this at home?
When you say blocks, do you mean the things I'm sticking on the notes? They're just plastic coloured chips stuck with blu tack (from amazon I think) which I thought of a while ago as a solution to highlighting notes for viewers. Thanks for watching! 👍
You could probably just use pennies and dimes or even cut up a post it note into strips, anything to visualize marking it
…as a beginner at 68yo (Dyslexia/ADD) I greatly appreciate visualization exercises illustrating structural patterns, etc.
While my preferred musical genre will NOT include Classical, I’m wondering what the benefit might be, if any, to effectively execute a reach greater than an octave? My hand is of such a size that reaching an octave (in a natural relaxed position) is effortless. What practical value, if any, would there be to reach 9 or 10 notes??? Just curious
Can we apply the same logic for minor scales ?
You can do something similar (for the natural minor scale) BUT I don't recommend that. It's far more beneficial in the long run to learn how to change major scales into the natural minor scale by flattening the 3rd, 6th and 7th degrees (video here) th-cam.com/video/saHOPBBzw5E/w-d-xo.html as well as learning about relative minor scales th-cam.com/video/m6lLt9qxuJE/w-d-xo.html From this point, you can learn the harmonic and melodic minors too 👍
2 ways of learning, 1) understanding the concepts and fundamentals and 2) memorizing without understanding to fake it in the hope that you will make it. This video falls in the second category. That has customers too. Good or you.
I get the feeling you think that was a slam dunk of a comment but not quite I’m afraid, you have made a big assumption. I’m talking about something more visual/practical in this one instance here because being able to find the scale pattern clearly on the piano itself has value, it’s just an exercise to try to help people with that side of things.
I agree with you that understanding the concepts and fundamentals in music is paramount, that’s why I have made lots of videos about music theory but I also try to emphasise the practical application of that theory, how it helps us find the notes we need, for example. Just because you only see me focusing more one thing here, it’s odd to imply that I am advocating just learning without understanding.
The wwhwwwh major scale pattern is important to understand (I believe I said this in the video). I went through it in the previous video as well as in other older videos along with other aspects of major scales too like note spelling, intervals etc. This is simply a way of chunking that information, another way to look at that same steps pattern anyway. Just memorising the notes in each scale 1 by 1 sounds more like your category 2. 👍
