you could also say from happy to sad is 3 strikes, like in baseball. 3 strikes and your out so ur from happy to sad. 3 semitones down from major to minor.
im confused... in the last video u told us to draw the scales with both clefs, would the clef affect the way the scale's written or would it stay the same..? :/
IT'S FUNNY HOW THE FIRST VID IN THE SERIES HAS 600000+ VIEWS AND NUMBER 29 HAS 8000+ VIEWS. I BET THERE ARE ABOUT 1000 STUDENTS AND SOME PEOPLE VIEW THE VIDS A FEW TIMES TO GET IT RIGHT. AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THOUS THAT WANT TO BE A REALLL PIANIST.
THIS IS SOME HIGH QUALITY STUFF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE...
how do you play when same clef is written in the grand staff ? I mean two bass or two treble clef in the grand staff sometime s small clef in the middle of another clef
Thank you for turning the light on with regards to major and minor scales. I understand them now. I'm going to spend a few days trying to memorise the different T and sT. Regards Sue.
if you had a scale that started in fb. how you find that key signature? i know that with sharps the last sharp is always "ti" but how about with flats?
So is an augmented 2nd the same as the flat 5th interval? Thank you so much for the lessons! I'm jumping from grade 3/5 straight to uni 2nd year in composition so your tutorials have been a blessing.
Great educational videos with great sense of humor!
You always explain everything accurately, give extra information which is really interesting and make me laugh.You're so smart and funny.It's a pleasure to learn music theory with such a great teacher and intelligent person like you!
I love the videos, but you said something in this one and you didn't explain it and now I'm super curious. It's not a big deal, but you said the rudiments are divided into three sections and harmony is divided into another three. I was curious how these are usually divided up.
Hey Andrew, will Learn Free Music Theory cover all the way until Grade 8, or at least Grade 5 of music theory? Cause I really need music theory in order for me to enter the University.
thank you so much for the lessons :{D Your the best teachers I've ever had! theory has always fritted me but theses lessons are helping me so much to over come my fear, especially now that I'm studying music at CIT, it helps keep me sane. I play guitar and my main issue is remembering where the notes are on my threat board, especially past the first 3 frets. If these anything you know that can help I would be very great full, If could get anymore great full than I am already :Pagain ty :D

thanks for the video i understand most of it, but can anyone answer a question for me?
We were told that to go from a major to a relative minor we go down 3 semi tones right... but Minors aren't on the keyboard.. so how does that work i'm confused. minors are scales and chords/triads not notes? :S
@TheJShone93 Each Note in a scale has a value, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. in C Major it is C-D-E-F-G-A-B-C, each individual value has a name. 1- Tonic, 2-supertonic, 3-mediant, 4-sub-domininant, 5-dominant, 6-Sub-mediant, 7-Sub tonic and 8-Octave. Minor is Just a mode, in which the Sub Mediant is used as the Very first Note in the scale. So you Play From A, Using the Accidentals of the C Major Scale. Which happens to be A-B-C-D-E-F-G-A. He's helping simplify the process by saying 3 semi tones down.
I think you should tell everyone to watch the video in the How to Play Piano series that corresponds with this lesson. seeing it played out on the piano visually really helps
I love your teachings. I've been in music all my life playing guitar and some other instruments and I'm 53 year of age but have never taken official music lessons. You've made my day with your lessons. I'm currently on lesson 11 and I really hope you do add the harmony and other more advanced lessons so that I can also learn these as well. Thank you very much for putting all this all together for us. I'm also looking forward to your piano lessons.

Thank you very much for putting all this all together for us. I'm also looking forward to your piano lessons.
Instead of comparing parents to key signatures, just tell your followers that they share the exact same notes of the given scale, but they start and end in a different order. CMajors relative minor is Am, so CDEFGABC will now be ABCDEFGA. Ionian(Major), Aeolian(minor) First degree, 6th Degree of the diatonic modes. I'm sure you'll get to that much later. Sorry, I couldn't help myself. You're a fine instructor.
so im a bit confused on the purpose of the whole idea of relative major/minor...i understand how to get to each from what you taught, but not sure what the purpose is for it :S
Have you ever heard the phrase "if you're good at something don't do it for free". Thanks for completely ignoring that phrase and please continue making these.
if your drawings make you laugh whenyou make the videos, I'm imagining you ROFL-ing as you're making your boards... or would that be ROPL-ing? RUPL? my parents never let me climb onto the piano. I appreciate u taking time for theory. I was a lil brat and thus never learnt it =(
For those of us who can't afford an instructor and are learning on our own these you tube posts are gold! Greatly appreciated!! Please continue! :) Thank you!
what do you say when the major's relative minor is a sharp or flat? Like would you call the relative minor scale of A Major f# minor or gb minor? I hope my question make sense.
@rapperSkater The correct answer is F# minor not Gbminor. Reason being, in the key signature, there are sharps right? There's F# C# G#. So when you go to F, the Sharp brings it to F#. There's no Gb in the key signature. :) Hopefully that's not too confusing and makes sense!
@Lypur I usually think of it as a minor third (hope that's right, the reason I'm watching your lessons is because I can't remember my intervals very well :p) below the relative major, but your way of describing it is much better.
Another fantastic video, thank you so much! I've been following your courses for months now, and although our apartment doesn't have the space to house a piano (although once our living accomodations change, I will be able to shortly thereafter) I've been practicing and going over the basics on a relatively cheap keyboard. I've been discouraged not to learn this way and "you shouldn't be learning on a keyboard" but I think once I transition to a real piano, I'll already have a slight advantage.
@SINthetikTerror Yes if a keyboard is all you have, then work with it :) it's far better to practice with a keyboard than to wait however long to get a piano and then start. You'll be ahead in the long run to use what you've got.
I take it you like Ice cream sandwiches? I'd mail you some but they'd probably melt. you'd get excited when you see the box :) (major) but then you see they melted and your smile would go 3 semi-tones down :( (minor) ._. guess we're both cheesy
Cheers for that background. Last time I learnt this stuff I was twelve and, even if someone did give me all the whys and wherefores (leading tones etc.), I didn't understand them. So I quit music theory.
@buju exactly. if C is the I (roman numeral 1), then the " natural minor"(also known as Aeolian) A in C, is the 6th mode and yes, the relative minor. One thing to note:
the 2 is the Dorian minor, the 3 is the Phrygian minor, the 4 is Lydian Major, the 5 is the Mixolydian(Maj/Dominant) and the 7 is Locrian minor(or half-diminished). They make some fun scales. These are the modes. So the natural minor is actually also a "mode", the 6th mode as you have noticed. :)
I've been playing guitar for 6 years and I taught myself due to lack of cash and all that jazz. I've gotten technique down but, the main thing holding me down was my complete lack of knowledge of theory. I just played without really knowing what I was playing. You are a savior, man. I love music but I just hate teachers. You are the first person to lay this out for me in a well designed manner and not a rushed "wheres my money?" Anyways, THANK YOU! This was a really nice thing you've done.
hey andrew, great video but I was confused about something. The mnemonic FCGDAEB on the treble clef for example, how do I know which DEFG to use? G ----F-- E ----D-- C ----B-- A ----G-- F ----E---
Thank you SO much. You really have no idea how much you've helped me out. You're a GREAT great teacher and it's really amazing that you're doing all this for everyone and taking the time to create a better music community. I can't thank you enough. I would have never gotten anywhere without your videos. Thank. You!
for me don't have money to get some education on playing piano this is very very helpful and useful thanks a lot. You are really an educator. God bless you :-)
This are great videos! I've learned more here than 4-5 years of piano (with a change of attitude, of course). I think if you did all the levels for the rudimentary, harmonics, analysis and history you'd have a very great referencing tool. That's more work for you, of course, but it's great to have one source to come to for any questions, whether basic or advanced. Also, for organization sake, you might want to label the videos on the specific topic. That way we don't have to search through them.
It would be great if you would cover all the harmony levels too. Your lessons are very fun to watch and really educational. Certainly one of the best ways of learning music theory! I've played piano for over 1 year and I know most of this easy music theory but I still learn new things when watching your vidoes (for example chromatic and diatonic intervals and how different rests are placed in sheet music).
So if every major have a relative minor, how one still can be happy and one sad, when they have the same notes? What is deciding about the mood of the song, if not the selection of notes? Because we can say that a sad minor scale song is also using a relative major I understood?
It has to do with the chord progression Ray. For example in the scale of C it would use a progression of say C major, G major, and A major. However, in a minor scale it would use A minor, E minor and F minor if the progression were the same. I hope that helps a little
I'm into composing music, and I would like to know what the harmony does when a minoric melody is played over it. As you said, it goes -up- according to the melodic minor scale, and -down- according to the natural minor scale, but what do chords do that are played under it? Do they just follow the harmonic minor scale?
Great video, and PLEASE do some harmony when you get there!
hey lypur ^^ really good clean lesson =) easy to follow and understand ^^ it would be amazing if you could also do harmony levels later :p its really hard to find good lessons on that unless you pay for them xD and not everyone can afford them :p though i figure it will be a lot of work for you =p but who knows ^^ might be worth it xD
I'm New to music theory and piano. I've been following all of your lessons, and I thought it was really easy to understand and clear. Thank you Andrew :D
I can't hear happy vs sad when listening to a major or a minor scale piece. I wonder why people just keep teaching that major scale is happy and minor scale is sad?
THanks I just founds I was right to, it can be called the parallel of tonic major/minor. It was one of those things that have different words, like whole/semi tones, I learned whole/half steps. Still a good vid keep it up!
To me this is what the Net is made for! Thanks a lot for the great lessons

It would be great if you would cover all the harmony levels too. Your lessons are very fun to watch and really educational. Certainly one of the best ways of learning music theory! I've played piano for over 1 year and I know most of this easy music theory but I still learn new things when watching your vidoes (for example chromatic and diatonic intervals and how different rests are placed in sheet music).

So if every major have a relative minor, how one still can be happy and one sad, when they have the same notes? What is deciding about the mood of the song, if not the selection of notes? Because we can say that a sad minor scale song is also using a relative major I understood?

What makes a minor scale "sad" is actually the placement of the semitones in the scale.
Lypur 2 years ago
It has to do with the chord progression Ray. For example in the scale of C it would use a progression of say C major, G major, and A major. However, in a minor scale it would use A minor, E minor and F minor if the progression were the same. I hope that helps a little

Major, Minor (the 3 kinds).. diminished? what other scales are there?? how many are there???
Splurgendii 2 years ago
I'm into composing music, and I would like to know what the harmony does when a minoric melody is played over it. As you said, it goes -up- according to the melodic minor scale, and -down- according to the natural minor scale, but what do chords do that are played under it? Do they just follow the harmonic minor scale?
Great video, and PLEASE do some harmony when you get there!

hey lypur ^^ really good clean lesson =) easy to follow and understand ^^ it would be amazing if you could also do harmony levels later :p its really hard to find good lessons on that unless you pay for them xD and not everyone can afford them :p though i figure it will be a lot of work for you =p but who knows ^^ might be worth it xD
Keep on shooting those lessons sensei! xD

Minor is just starting a major scale from a different point.

I can't hear happy vs sad when listening to a major or a minor scale piece. I wonder why people just keep teaching that major scale is happy and minor scale is sad?

@hvpsmart minor sounds more like conflct and drama , rather than sad

What is the relationship between C major and c minor called?
I think it is called the parallel minor.
I know Relative= the minor is a third down from the major (or the sixth note)
macjsus 2 years ago
C major to c minor is called a "Tonic minor" or "Tonic Major"
Lypur 2 years ago
THanks I just founds I was right to, it can be called the parallel of tonic major/minor. It was one of those things that have different words, like whole/semi tones, I learned whole/half steps. Still a good vid keep it up!
