How to Play Piano: Lesson #26 harmonic, melodic minors

In this lesson I clear up why there is a tone and a half in a harmonic minor scale, I go into detail about leading tones, and what a harmonic and melodic scale is used for. OH NO!...i forgot to explain why it's called and augmented 2nd....well...maybe i'll make another lesson specifically for explaining those types of intervals.

i havent learnd anything....i cant play with 2 hands

playing with two hands is a physical skill you need to develop. Start by playing the same note with each hand, then you could try playing C D E F G with both hands at the same time. When you get better at that, then try playing one hand staccato while the other is legato, when you can do that switch it so the opposite hands are doing those jobs. learning to play hands together isn't something someone can tell you and you instantly know, it requires physical practise in guided exersizes.
