Playing Piano: Harmonic, Melodic Minors P.1

Hey, guys welcome to the Piano lesson number 26, I am Don, I do not really have any feeling here. My jaw is a little bit vacant stuff like that. Anyway all time clear at the end of the lesson that way if you guys just wants going to get a lesson I need to keep it down like what this is going on in my life or anything or just until the end that’s is my plan . Any way so today it would be teaching a on harmonic minors a lot of minors. Because I had so many questions about them probably a good fifty people had to be either e-mailed me or like commented on it on those lessons and stuff like that. So I thought I clear out why is there an augmented secondary as people call it a tone and a half skip. The first thing that I need to tell you is first you look at my notes I remember where it done it does why you would you want the race the second. The first thing we need to clear up is that there are tow three types of scales. This natural minor are those have the ones no rest 7 3rd rest 6, they share the exact same key signature as like C major. The natural scale of A minor, by the way fine relative minor are of any major key all you have to do is (Music Playing) you just take C and you count three semi-tones back you go A, B flat and E , so 1, 2, 3 in now minor sale you that work anywhere you just back three semi tones in your line with the scale of that key. The key signatures what ever A minor share the same key signature as C major has no sharp to flat (Music Playing)that is natural minor it always share just like a carbon copy. But the things is minor scale is has like a has in imperfection on that in that is why the harmonic in the lot of the create. Basically they had the natural minor in then did not has called something a leading tune which is very popular when the model scales came out with major and minor. So they decided to fix that by all kinds some notes so that it would have a leading tones. By doing so then they created another problem because they had a augmented seconds which are going turn in to a minute. This is kind of (inaudible) so they had a augmented second in the minor scale writing that is no-no is like a cardinal relative to that that is very bad and all can days they did not allowed any augmented seconds. I will show how to find augmented seconds a low one. To correct the minors the augmented seconds they create them a lot of scale so that you did not have to like to jump around and there is no possible way to Playing in augmented seconds in the lot skip so basically they got there names because they quite of lapses the natural minor because that way natural is. Harmonic minor is actually use harmony and voice leading in stuff like that because they want harmony and melody just like a cake. The cake is like the puppy bake feelings stuff. That is like a the harmony that is like the support in everything the melody is like sugar coated ice icy laying on top of the cake. So the melody I write is her in the right hands is all. (Music Playing) that is like the melody in then if you like adding harmony really (Music Playing) like that you adding in chord that is support them melody. That is actually they got the terms then a lot of minor scale is use for reading melody line they use that I going to do augmented seconds it be like “who” then they just change into then like a minus scale. If it is harmonic they like the Playinging the harmonic chord say want to do the like the fire to one perfect cadets and he did that leading tones (Music Playing) like (Music Playing) tunes like (Music Playing)in all that lot sounds. Nice and prod it is getting explaining that all. In all details you guys can understand that is reason is actually quite simple. The harmonic minors created to support harmonic functions, which be like creating chords that leads to each other wise it does not sound right all other minute
