no… not any minor scale has any sharps or flats…
does A minor have any sharps or flats?
Good job communicating clearly and thoroughly. This helped me!
very interesting… i don’t play the piano, but i found this video to be very helpful… as long as every one knows, and understands all of the musical terms you named. “intervals”, “octaves”, “major”, “minor”, “relative minor”. all of these terms are confusing to beginners. thats who i thought you were addresing in this vid. i know what they mean, i just think that next time you should simplify your terms.
Even if he isn’t “pro,” he seems to know what he’s talking about. Isn’t that what matters?
sounds like hes trying to teach a room full of little baby idiots
I think it is complicated for the beginner students/children, although sounds very clear to the teachers/pro.
This is for the piano, and that he is only doing the first octave of an A minor. I play the violin and yeah there are sharps. But when he says no sharps and flats is refering to the first octave he plays and that this is a piano. So all the white keys.
the root note is important, but you also have intervals that matters a lot. Certain melodies such as Turkish March don’t respect the interval betwen notes, but thats only because it insanely fast changes scales, making it sound the way it sounds.
People can’t explain this to newbies, I think I shoud try to make a vid.
Doest look like ur a pro…
way ou speak play etc.
couldn’t you just say, C major and A minor are diffrent because of root note, so ..the end.. 5 seconds… yes?
this was the best weird al impression ive seen in a while!
no, this A minor was right. Im a music major, he;s right.
I’m pretty sure there are no minor scales without a sharp or flat. Right? I’m not sure though. And this guy had no emotion and barely told us anything. I’m beginning to think these “Expert Village” guys aren’t experts.
yeah there isnt just 3 types of minor scale anyway u 4got pentatonic minor
So why don’t you make a video, then?
he played in order, a aeolian, a major (forgot the name), and a lydian scale. he did not play a minor scale. seriously if that dude ever reads this, you shouldn’t teach if you don’t know what your talking about. Also, there are 2 types of minor scales harmonic and melodic.
technically this should be labelled as the A Aeolian mode, as the minor scale has different forms which vary the 6th and 7th degrees of the scales
thank you for the lessons, but you should place the camera above the piano.
you’re a good teacher, thank you.
his tone in his voice makes me unable to comprehend and people are saying he did it wrong
lol he talks to us as if we’re dumb..
i ment melodic, not natural. anyway the problem is just that this video is not very clear, maybe also because it’s for beginners.
There’s nothing wrong with this video. Stop bashing people who are trying to help others. If anyone reading this discussion has any doubt, just search wikipedia for “minor scale” to get the basic facts.
