Hey what is up guys, Walt here and today, we are going to be working on octaves right there. See that first letter here, G, the second of it is also G but they are what we call an octave away from each other. Here is the piece of music, here is your treble cleft, here is your bass cleft. There is a time signature, there is the key signature, there is your time signature and it is symmetrical on the bottom. Now, in the bottom, there are the chords that you play with your left hand and here are the notes that you play with your right hand. So now there it is your octave, jump G to G.
Now, where is that played on the piano? Well this G, here is the piano. So it is really not that difficult. You just need some helping out on it. So this G, there is a G right there and the way that I know that is look at the piano and there is two black keys, three black keys, follow the pattern, two, three, two, three all the way up, all the way down. So now, this note to the left of the two black keys is C. Then you walk out every letters, so C, D, E, F, G so G is the note to the right of the first of the three black pieces and then it repeats all the way. This here is another C. It is the last of the two black keys. Here is another G C, D, E, F, G. So here is G, G, G, G, G, G and it continues all the way up. Here is another G, here is anther G all the way to the top here. Okay, and they are all the same G. Well, they are not the same G but they are all G’s. So when you see this note up top here, that is this G. But when you see this note on the bottom, that G on the bottom right there, so that the way you would play that as a chord of just G, would be one, two, one, and two. And so here is your octave jump.
One, two, one, two, one, two and then if I were to take this, here is a G. Here is a different A. So here, you have an A on one octave and it jumps off once again to treble cleft, bass cleft. Do not worry about the key signature. If you do want to know about key signature, refer to my video that will be in the video description to the right but here is your first A. And here is your second A and so the way that you would play those is one and two and one and two and. So I would just loop that. So here you have one and two and so if you want to write it down as a chord, you would just have it both rewritten down at the same time. So instead of having them being separate, here, I just took my pencil and I put a note in the bottom. And then they make your chords. So before, what you have is separate notes that look like this and when you zoom out they have this. If I will write that down as a chord, you play it together. Hear about this being played? And that is it, building an octave, all right.
