I know this videos super old, but thanks so much for making it. I always had trouble understanding relationships between majors and minors and all the different minors. You explained it so well even if you think you didnt. Thanks a bunch for making learning the piano easier with your lessons!
@Grogrosh No, the C Minor scale remains as a minor scale always. Every major scale has a minor scale that goes with it, and every minor scale has a major scale that goes with it. In this case, C minor is the minor scale, and D sharp major is the major scale. These two scales are called relative scales because they have the same notes, they just start on different pitches. Other examples of relative scales are C major and A minor, A major and F# minor, and G major with E minor.
does a "second" always refer to two semitones up? if so.. wouldn't the relationship between every minor to mayor relatives be a "dreaded" augmented second? .. tnx in advance
@MasterJuancho Hi. No, a second refers to the pitches specific to the key. For example, If I were to describe the note G in relation to C, and the key were to be C major (C B D E F G A B C), then the relation would be called a fifth. Even though there are 7 semitones between the two notes in the example, only 5 of them belong to the key I am concerned with, and so it is called a fifth. As for the relative minor and major question, yes, the relation between a major and minor scale is a minor...
@MasterJuancho ...third. This is the dreaded augmented second. However, when playing the progression of the relative minor scale, the tonic is first played, then the supertonic, and then the mediant. The tonic is the first note, the supertonic is the second note, and the mediant is the augmented second. Since the supertonic is in between, the dreaded interval is no longer in play.
I think you got the augmented 2nd interval mixed up between the diminished 5th/Augmented 4th that was the tritone which banned not an augmented 2nd. If I'm wrong my bad and ignore me hhaha
When you raise the sixth and seventh notes of a scale by a half step as you go up the scale and then return to the natural minor as you go down the scale. For example:
Melodic C Minor Scale = C - D - Eb - F - G - A - B - C (as you go up the scale)
Natural C Minor Scale = C - D - Eb - F - G - Ab - Bb - C (as you go down the scale)
I think I might have missed something basic early on. For the melodic minor scale: why is the C to a D# an augmented 2nd, but the E to the F# just a regular 2nd? Aren't they both augmented?
@computervideo1 Because there is no sharp between E and F, going from C to D#, there is C-C#-D-D#, which is three semitones, but from E to F# is E-F-F#, which is only two semitones, a major second. an augmented second would be E-F-F#-G.
The answer is D#, no? Because from a C minor, you must go up 3 semi-tones to hit the major... so, C-->C#-->D-->D#? ^^; Anyway, thanks for the great vids!
most of the second part didn't make it to my brain... i'm trying so hard and yet it's still not making it there... can you please tell me if the part on the white board is anything new or is it the same as the keyboard part but on paper instead?
@CopyCat1995 What's so hard to understand? He explained everything very simply and even had history explanations which helped put everything in perspective
@Andreilg3 what's hard to me, was that he explained the same part twice( well, according to the guys who answered to me at least) and my headphone wasn't working that well, so i had a hard time listening to what he was saying.
GAHH i just like failed my midterm yesterday like literally. and i swear if i watched your video, i would have gotten a b. the circle of fifth,... that was on the exam.kthxbye but yea hahah you are such a good teacher. it really helped! i hope i ace the final haha

Thank you so much for posting these videos. I think you do a great job. Love the evil laugh as well. Laugh = I am a master and I enjoy you struggling with easy piano ..HAHAHA in evil way. awesome!
well i thought i was on a roll since i got the last hard one in my head alright gonna have to bookmark this one and come back to it. i was totally lost. (sad face) wait im on the internet. :( ya! i did a sad face the only thing i learned in this video how to do!!! i laughed myself.
This was sooooo helpful! Thank you! I am an adult student studying music, and it's ridiculously hard to find concise properly explained lessons and information on the subject, especially with all of the really weird exceptions and historical abnormalities. This tutorial really help me put this particular subject in order and have it make sense, so thank you!
I do have one question: on the Minor Melodic scale, as we go down we replace the two accidentals we added on the 6th and 7th keys. WHY?
The explanation of the theory behind the need to insert a tone that leads you to the tonic(the one before the "buff guy" joke, which was funny lol)-I`ve never actually known about that before! I`m so grateful to you for explaining that! :)
And yes! When I`m just fooling around on piano and playing some random melody I thought up...it`s like I always want to RETURN to the tonic or to some note that COMPLETES the melody/scale, what have u.
The tutorials are great. Theyve really sparked my interest in learning piano. Theres only one thing that I need to point out. Its the volume, when you do the stuff on the whiteboard or are at the whiteboard, the volume is quite low, obviously cause the camera is far away. When youre showing the piano keys, your voice is much louder.
I have a question. If I was asked to play a C natural minor scale do i have to go to the relative minor to play it.. or can i just play " C, D, Eb, F,G, Ab, Bb, C
@ssscrusher Yeah you are right, you can always check by working both scales out individually using the interval patterns. Remember, Major is 2,2,1,2,2,2,1 (whole tone, whole tone, half tone, whole tone, whole tone whole tone, half tone) and Minor is 2,1,2,2,1,2,2 (whole tone, half tone, whole tone, whole tone, half tone, whole tone, whole tone)
I just wanna say I've been practicing with your videos, and they are helping me learn a lot. Anyway to answer your question for this lesson, What would be the relative major of C minor? My answer is that the relative major of C minor would be D Sharp or an E Flat because the in-harmonic name of D Sharp is E Flat. Hopefully that's correct. (I really believe it is) :) Thanks for the videos Lypur!
I just started playing piano.... last night... anyways, I was inspired to play by a song I heard, I got the intro down, and I know what I need to do, but I have problems moving my hands around the piano, and my placement of my hands is off a lot... do you have tips for this or is it something that will come with practice and few shortcuts?
You are a great teacher and very knowledgeable. However, may I make a suggestion? It's not as much that you speak too soft. But you are not using the right mike. Perhaps if you had a good lapel mike. Also, do not be afraid of raising the audio level on the audio amp that you are using. It needs to come up quite aways. The first part of each of your lesson is good with the piano music, but then when you speak, your voice is way down in audio level and no one can hear you!!

nice video, just a few things, the demonic interval is actually an augmented fourth or diminished fifth...
another thing, i have trouble with is that I always learned the minor scales just like you said on the video, but now that I started studying music, my teacher tells me that a natural minor is actually 1 2 b3 4 5 b6 b7 8, a harmonic minor is 1 2 b3 4 5 b6 7 8 and a melodic minor is 1 2 b3 4 5 6 7 8 going up and going down just like a minor natural,,,,,,,,, have you ever heard it this way?
@adversariozz Its basically the same, this kind of representation is:
1 2 b3 4 5 b6 b7 8
basically compared to the same key's major scale, think of it as if you're figuring A minor from the A major scale, we previously had WWHWWWH (W=Whole Tone, H= Half Tone) for any major scale, that would work to figure out the A 'major' scale, but from there you can figure out the minor as well with what your teacher gave you (continues next post)
so, if im playing a song in the tonality of C (mayor C) can i start playing the minor relative scale (Am, minor A) but i mean, not the natural minor scale, the harmonic minor scale???? is the harmonic and melodic scales in Am relatives to major C???
Andrew, I´ve been playing piano for about two months now. I just want to let you know that this tutorials are outstanding, congratulations. Thank you very much in the name of all beginners. Really good work, thank you.
Hey! :-) You are a great teacher! God has blessed you with a great talent! :-) I do have a question for you though( anyone who understands music theory can answer this if you want); there is a minor with a lowered 3rd, 6th, and 7th. What is that minor scale called?
I am in Intro to Music right now, and you have helped me soooo much! You are totally awesome... and of course it's always nice to have a good looking music theory teacher.... somehow it's all easier to grasp :D lol Thanks!!!
@HigherState001 No its E Major. If C is your minor then It goes C, D, Eb, E. So E is the relative major. An easy way to remember is that the are 12 notes in the scale and it loops around:
A, Bb, B, C, C#, D, Eb, E, F, F#, G, G#......and then it goes back to A. If you remember this you can easily find any note you want. Hope this helps.
@kdemaria5 You contradicted yourself there. You said it goes C, D, Eb, E. But going by your scale you wrote out, 3 semi tones would be C, C#, D, Eb. You forgot the C# meaning that the relative major would be Eb Major.
hey guys a little trick that i am using to remember the minor scales or the harmonic atleast is the harmonic demonic one is the one where the 7th is raised. im hooked on mnemonic's
Can you tell me what exactly is the point of learning scales? Do musicians just put it into a piece like a whole scale? I also wanted to know what playing a certain song in C minor or A major would exactly mean?
Can someone please explain, if a major scale goes: tone; tone; semi-tone; tone; tone; tone; semi-tone and if A minor natural is the same as A major, why does he play tone; semi-tone; tone; tone; semi-tone; tone; tone? Thanks

To play a harmonic minor scale, you simply raise the seventh note of the scale by a half-step as you go up and down the scale. For example:
Natural C Minor Scale = C - D - Eb - F - G - Ab - Bb - C
Harmonic C Minor Scale = C - D - Eb - F - G - Ab - B - C

I could be wrong, but I believe it was the tritone that was considered evil in the middle ages. I've never heard anything about a minor third.

@Lypur
The relative major of C minor is D#.
Am I right?
ssscrusher 1 year ago
@ssscrusher Yeah you are right, you can always check by working both scales out individually using the interval patterns. Remember, Major is 2,2,1,2,2,2,1 (whole tone, whole tone, half tone, whole tone, whole tone whole tone, half tone) and Minor is 2,1,2,2,1,2,2 (whole tone, half tone, whole tone, whole tone, half tone, whole tone, whole tone)

I just wanna say I've been practicing with your videos, and they are helping me learn a lot. Anyway to answer your question for this lesson, What would be the relative major of C minor? My answer is that the relative major of C minor would be D Sharp or an E Flat because the in-harmonic name of D Sharp is E Flat. Hopefully that's correct. (I really believe it is) :) Thanks for the videos Lypur!

I just started playing piano.... last night... anyways, I was inspired to play by a song I heard, I got the intro down, and I know what I need to do, but I have problems moving my hands around the piano, and my placement of my hands is off a lot... do you have tips for this or is it something that will come with practice and few shortcuts?

You are a great teacher and very knowledgeable. However, may I make a suggestion? It's not as much that you speak too soft. But you are not using the right mike. Perhaps if you had a good lapel mike. Also, do not be afraid of raising the audio level on the audio amp that you are using. It needs to come up quite aways. The first part of each of your lesson is good with the piano music, but then when you speak, your voice is way down in audio level and no one can hear you!!

Augmented second? Were tritones not called the devil' s intervals?
MrJambone1 1 year ago
nice video, just a few things, the demonic interval is actually an augmented fourth or diminished fifth...
another thing, i have trouble with is that I always learned the minor scales just like you said on the video, but now that I started studying music, my teacher tells me that a natural minor is actually 1 2 b3 4 5 b6 b7 8, a harmonic minor is 1 2 b3 4 5 b6 7 8 and a melodic minor is 1 2 b3 4 5 6 7 8 going up and going down just like a minor natural,,,,,,,,, have you ever heard it this way?

@adversariozz Its basically the same, this kind of representation is:
1 2 b3 4 5 b6 b7 8
basically compared to the same key's major scale, think of it as if you're figuring A minor from the A major scale, we previously had WWHWWWH (W=Whole Tone, H= Half Tone) for any major scale, that would work to figure out the A 'major' scale, but from there you can figure out the minor as well with what your teacher gave you (continues next post)

Hey! :-) You are a great teacher! God has blessed you with a great talent! :-) I do have a question for you though( anyone who understands music theory can answer this if you want); there is a minor with a lowered 3rd, 6th, and 7th. What is that minor scale called?

relative major for C minor is Eb Major... Let me know if i am rite plz lol
HigherState001 1 year ago
@HigherState001 No its E Major. If C is your minor then It goes C, D, Eb, E. So E is the relative major. An easy way to remember is that the are 12 notes in the scale and it loops around:
A, Bb, B, C, C#, D, Eb, E, F, F#, G, G#......and then it goes back to A. If you remember this you can easily find any note you want. Hope this helps.
kdemaria5 1 year ago
@kdemaria5 You contradicted yourself there. You said it goes C, D, Eb, E. But going by your scale you wrote out, 3 semi tones would be C, C#, D, Eb. You forgot the C# meaning that the relative major would be Eb Major.
LeeValentine001 1 year ago
@HigherState001 You are. It's 3 semi tones up, so C goes to C#, D then D# (which is also Eb).

Can you tell me what exactly is the point of learning scales? Do musicians just put it into a piece like a whole scale? I also wanted to know what playing a certain song in C minor or A major would exactly mean?
Th3WiseFool 1 year ago
Can someone please explain, if a major scale goes: tone; tone; semi-tone; tone; tone; tone; semi-tone and if A minor natural is the same as A major, why does he play tone; semi-tone; tone; tone; semi-tone; tone; tone? Thanks
