Thank you so much for this series Dr Meyer. This is so helpful! One question though: In 01':37'' it says that Minor 2nd is half tone above tonic. well half tone above tonic is not part of the minor scale, right? so how can D flat be Minor 2nd to C? What am I missing?
You’re right that a m2 is a half step, but there are only 2 half steps in a minor scale, between 2-3 and 5-6, so you can’t use 1-2 to measure a half step. Both major and minor scales feature a whole step at the beginning, so you could start your measurement there and go smaller for the m2 if that’s easier.
I know this is super frustrating, but there's a slight error here at 6:27. Your third example (on the right) features a m2 and a M7. I'm sure it's just a simple typo, but in case anyone else looks at this and is confused. Otherwise, great video!
You're right; Locrian mode has a diminished 5th between scale degrees 1 and 5, but I'm only focusing on the major and minor scales in this video, not any other modes.
@@DrKatiMeyerMusicTheory I knew, but I thought it may introduce a point of confusion for others. It seemed to me that when you said "No matter the mode" you meant all modes. Its have been fine if it wasn't for that ONE mode. 🤦🏾♂️ Thanks for the reply!
@@bshmoove08 For sure! And to be honest, students taking Music Theory 1 don't usually know their modes, so when learning major and minor, I don't have to differentiate the Locrian mode. Thanks for watching!
@@DrKatiMeyerMusicTheory I love this video you posted. Thank you, very helpful! Also, along the lines of the Locrian comment...I presume that Lydian is another mode that does not have a perfect 4. But to your point, you were really trying to capture a discussion around Ionian and Aeolian. Correct?
Thank you for all the effort that went into this.
Thank YOU for watching!
This has been super helpful! Thank you
So much for all that you do and for
this wonderful channel!!!
Thanks for watching :)
I love your voice. It sounds nurturing and pleasant.
This video covered our 3 hour lecture in 8 minutes haha, great video!
wow really helpful. Thank you Dr. Kati Meyer
FYI around 6:30 the 3rd set of intervals b-c is m2 and c-b is M7.
Thanks for your careful attention to detail!
this was very helpful. thank you!
I'm so glad!
You're awesome! 🏅
Thanks! So are you!
❤ 😊
Merci beaucoup. Very useful.
thanks a lot.. this was so helpful to learn about interval inversion🔥❤️😎
YOU ABSOLUTE LEGEND THANK YOU

Thank you..
Can you explain me why B to E Flat is become an Augmented 4th?
B to E flat is a diminished 4th.
Thank you very much

Thanks! Human error is inevitable. I appreciate your comments :)
Hold up.. Doesn't the Locrian mode have a flat 5th? How is that still a perfect 5th? 1:25
