  • @Chessczar ...because, from C to E there are 4 semi-tones or half-steps: C-C#-D-D#-E but, from B to D there are only 3 semi-tones or half-steps: B-C-C#-D. This is because of the way our diatonic scale is designed: [Whole-step, Whole-step, Half-step, Whole-step, Whole-step, Whole-step, Half-step]. The traditional scale is NOT all whole-steps. It's a mix. Get it? Good luck!

  • Shawn love your videos. But I'm a little confused. You showed c-e as being a a third but then b-d as being a 3rd but there are 3 semitones between the 1st 2 notes and 2 semi tones between the 2nd pair. what about sharps and flats?

  • this is pretty interesting, good job Shawn ! keep it up :D

  • Hi Shawn, I'm turning 30 and I'm completely nonmusical and never learned an instrument in my life, but your videos have inspired me to take up piano. What kind of keyboard should I get? Should I get a cheap one to learn with then buy a good kind later, or do I need to start with a good one so I don't pick up any bad habits? Any particular brand you like? Thanks

  • Like they say you learn something new everyday thanks alot for this!
