    A way I teach major scales, (and this also works for other scales in the same way) is when you have learnt all the sharp keys, then figuring out the flat keys are very easy (also this works visa-versa). For example, if F# major is: F# G# A# B C# D# E#, then figuring out F major is just remembering the odd note out: B. In F major it's: F G A Bb C D E.
    B and Bb major work in the same way (you can try this in any key). B major is: B C# D# E F# G# A#, whilst Bb major is: Bb C D Eb F G A. So if you remember for the B keys the "odd notes out" are B and E then you are all good :)
    If you want to take this further, if you ever (for whatever reason want to know) less common keys), then you just take the key you already know, (let's say the key of G# major for whatever reason), then you take the G major scale and remember that F# is the "odd note out" and you then make sure that all the other notes are sharp whilst the F has to be sharpened again to Fx (F double sharp). So G major is: G A B C D E F#, and G# major is G# A# B# C# D# E# Fx.

  • @Super_Lowcrian
    @Super_Lowcrian 8 місяців тому +2

    I connected some interesting dots (or just realized something I forgot a long time ago) while drawing the circle of fifths and reciting along with you: 1) The key of C is all natural, C# is all sharps, and Cb is all flats. 2) The rest of the keys are just the inverse of each other, so since the key of F has one flat, Bb, the key of F# is all sharps except B. G has one sharp, F#, so Gb is all flats except F and on and on.
    This may be confusing for some, but was a huge lightbulb moment for me just now helping reinforce and internalize it all. Thank you!

    This is indeed an interesting way to learn scales! It is a bit challenging because you have to swallow everything in one go. However, I immediately feel the result because I can remember the 'sharp' scales better than before. I am now going to transfer each scale with your voice to MP3 . And then repeat it daily. I hope to have mastered them within the week. Without images I am of course less distracted 😊😊 Thank you for this lesson. greetings from Belgium

  • @stevencharleswhite7045
    @stevencharleswhite7045 7 місяців тому +1

    This video gets off to a great start by *not* repeating the tonic of the scale. Making the mistake of repeating the tonic confuses a lot of presenters, who will then in the same breath tell you that there are eight tones in a scale. So this video gets off to a solid start.
    But... this is a 35 minute video, which is long by UA-cam standards. To get me to invest, I'd like for the video to begin by making a compelling case as to why I should invest all of that time. And a case for why I should believe that this video presents this same old info in a new and fresh and worthwhile way. And the reason for my healthy skepticism is this: we need to do much more than just memorize the tones of all of these scales in ascending order.
    Sure, that's all that we do with the alphabet. Nearly nobody can recite the alphabet in reverse, and/or index into the alphabet at random. Why? Because alphabetical order is pretty much the only reason you're required to recite the alphabet. But music is very different.
    With scales, you *do* need to be as fluent with them descending as ascending; and you *do* need to know that G# is the sixth degree of B, for example. Not to mention needing to know all of the intervals from any of the seven degrees to any other degree in both directions. And you need to see (and internalize) patterns. For example, the A major scale has four naturals and three sharps; Ab has the photographic negative of that (the naturals go flat, and the sharps go natural). Go looking for those same patterns in all the other scales. With those patterns, you don't need to do as much blind memorization, because you're attaching meaning and understanding to what you're learning. With patterns like that, you can recall a scale to mind whole and instantaneous, instead of being limited to recalling it sequentially and mindlessly, like in this video.
    And then you also want to be thinking more holistically about scales. Here, we're just thinking about majors. But if you take A major and flat all the sharps in it, you get the natural minor. If you're familiar enough with A to know that the scale degrees in that are sharped are 3^, 6^, and 7^, then you instantly know which scale degrees are flatted in a natural minor. It's these kinds of inter-relationships between the components of music that are vital. Not learning things parrot-fashion, like here.
