    I'm ecstatic!! I struggled to read sheet music in the school jazz band so I abandoned it after I graduated but those tricks about the even intervals not matching and the odd intervals matching is mindblowing with how simple it is.

  • @exscape
    @exscape 4 місяці тому

    So I've apparently been at level 4, but recognizing intervals just became much easier thanks to your even/odd (not matching/matching) technique! I'm pretty sure this is exactly what I needed to progress further!

    Thanks for that, it's always good to go over these things. I do treble clef FACE and Every Good Bod Deserves Favour. Bass , ALL Cows Eat Grass and Great Big Dogs Frighten Animals. I know the ledger line below the bass clef is E and 2nd one down is C, and 1st line above the bass clef is C 2nd line is E, I only just realised they are a mirror image of each other. C E on top E C below the bass clef! 😊

    Very good strategies. Thank you!
    I saw an interesting system in China a while back where you have 2 note lines in between the staffs, A and C. That made both clefs have the same note in the same position, F the top line in both clefs and E the bottom line. I always struggled with the bass clef since I first learned guitar that only used the treble.

    If you play piano you don't need mnemonics at all. Just place your left 5th finger on middle E then skip 1 white key for each other 4 fingers and baam, you have your key references for each note on the lines.

    This approach overloads the memory with superficial disjointed knowledge, with no understanding of the repeating underlying structure. This is not a good approach. THE CYCLE OF THIRDS is the only thing we need to learn - one structure - one memonic, one understanding for all clefs, all lines on or off stave, all intervals.
