So useful and helpful. Thank you. I'm Egyptian and here we call the two minors "nahawand" and "kurd" and the Aladin we call "hijaz"... I learnt from this video the relation between them and the English terminology.
Brevity and clarity. The hallmark of your videos. Thanks. There's a little youtube channel called 'Why These Notes - Adventures in Music' for those who want to hear more about how music works.
Thanks for this excellent explanation. I always wondered why there were different minor scales. Your explanation was so simple and clear. I also really liked how you explained the modes using only the C scale. I play guitar and I could never remember the notes of each mode. Your demonstration using the C scale made it totally clear. Now I'll be able to play the different modes without having to memorize them all. Thanks!
Brilliant explanation. I'd always wondered about this. In Bach's day, and still in Mozart's - who mostly lived in Vienna - Turkey aka the Ottoman Empire was a superpower and a credible threat to Central Europe. Hence the fascination.

I didn't know the historical reasons for three minor scales, I always enjoy the historical context. Thanks Also I think that the Ionoan mode (major scale) is the only one with a true cadence from the V chord. If you play a I IV V7 song in Aeolian (i iv v ) it lacks a resolution and has no impact as the leading tone 'signpost' is missing - as noted by you. Harmonic Minor (i iv V7) sounds much better. It makes a good demo.
Thank you, that was really interesting, but at the same time mind boggling. Musicians such as the Beatles seem to have managed very well without all this information, - as long as it sounds good why worry !
Absolutely, nothing to lose sleep over! The Beatles, interestingly though, did know about the modes and used them deliberately; they were very interested in world music and experimentation 🎸🎶 😊
Thank you. I didn't know that. I'm wondering though what is the maximum number of accidentals that can be used in a piece, before it ceases to be in the specified scale or am I overthinking things?. 🙂
@@angelanewman5566 Oooh, interesting question, Angela - I'm not sure there's an answer to that one, since there are five different kinds of accidental and any number of ways they might appear in a piece 🤔
Constructive. You talk too fast in your lingo, and would be handy to have better audio. Better shown hands on on the piano. If you listen to yourself, you speak way too fast.

Really interesting, I didn't know this. Thank you!
Great teacher ! Thank you!
You are the best! Thank You so much!
Thank you, Ms Murphy! Fascinating,!
That’s revealing that you can do a scale on every note of the c major scale. Interesting and useful
That was a great explanation! Thanks, Leah.
Leah, very well explained as always thank you for the education
Thank you very much…VERY interesting and very well explained 🙏🏻👏x
Fascinating I never knew the reasons for this thank you x
Thank you for this explanation. It's always puzzled me but I was worried that if I asked my piano teacher she'd spend half the lesson discussing it!
Fabulous, thank you.

Is there an easier way to learn the notes on the staff?
😮😢😅
As it happens, there is! 😊

For me, the question has always been, "Why are there ONLY three minor scales?" I routinely play half a dozen that Western music does not name.
Would love to hear more about them, David, do you have a link or a description?
@@LeCheileMusic... I know of one of those minor scales. I've only known of it as the Hungarian minor scale: A B C D# E F G# A

I do indeed speak fast - you can slow me down by adjusting the playback speed in the video settings.
