Hello, welcome to piano Lesson number 2. Okay, so, can you match if you have not seen the first lesson. I recommend you go to the items start then come to this one because this kind of go together, I guess and if do not remember what was in the first one . I would probably just go back to that and start over again. I am just review what you learn before.
Okay, so let us get right on to it, okay, so the first thing we are going to learn is I have to point the difference between a whole tone and the semi tone and you probably thinking, oh my gosh, what is going on. He is going on complicated on me but really the it is really simple. You just basically you going in between every note of the piano. So, if you listen to this, it sounds like every note is going up, right.
(Demo)
Right? Okay, so we can pretty much conclude that going like this is the pattern that goes up. So, this notes all fall together in a row. These are the notes that have been in a row, okay. So, think of this like a chain. If you going to listen to this note, you are missing lenght right here, okay. So, these are always going up, okay. So, from here to here is one length that is a semi tone. So, from going one length to the next length that is the semi tone, so think of it like that. Now, if you skip a length, that is a whole tone. So, from here, now you skip this length, now you here that is one whole tone. So, if you go from here that is going to the next length, right. So, that is a semi tone.
Okay, so what about here, what is this going to be called. Now, you probably think, oh, maybe that is a whole tone because there is no block note. It is going to 8th note to 8th note, no, because look no block note means this is going to here, so that is just the next length. Just the next length in the whole chain, so that is a semi tone. So, whole tone that actually from here to here because that is skipping one note or one length in the chain, okay. So, if you think of it like that, it should help you a lot. I am telling you this mostly because this will help you learn any scale in the piano but I will get to that as the way lesson, right now we are just going to focus on the pattern, okay.
So, the pattern from Major scale is whole tone, whole tone, semi tone. Whole tone, whole tone, whole tone, semi tone. So, two whole tones; one semi tone; three whole tones; and one semi tone and then that is it. So, if you watch, watch carefully.
(Demo)
That is a whole tone,
(Demo)
That is a whole tone, so that we have two now.
(Demo)
Now from here to here, that is semi tone, so we have one semi tone. From here to here, that is one whole tone.
(Demo)
That is another
(Demo)
And that is another
(Demo)
And that is a semi tone, so.
(Demo)
Taaraaaa!!! Oh, my god. Okay, so we got that by gone. So, if you you can do that on C, do you think you might be able to do that on every other key. Yes you can.
Okay, so, let us start on G. This is scale we are going to learn today guys, okay. So, G. So, look in at G right now and the like ha? Okay, this looks confusing but if you just remember the pattern everything is okay. So, watch.
(Demo)
That is one whole tone.
(Demo)
One whole tone. So, we have got our two whole tones. Now, we need is semi tone, okay.
(Demo)
That is our semi tone, right there
(Demo)
Now we need another whole tone.
(Demo)
Another whole tone and remember we needed one more, right because we have to have three, so we are going to miss this note.
(Demo)
That is an extra tone
(Demo)
And then we have to have semi tone
(Demo)
So, comes back to G. so listen up.
(Demo)
So, that sounds major, right because this is major.
(Demo)
They sound similar but different.
