Okay, so this week we're gonna be focusing on scales
- 00:03 - 00:06
and to help do that, I've made this nifty little
- 00:06 - 00:08
power point for you she used throughout the week.
- 00:09 - 00:11
So in this video we'll talk about what scales are.
- 00:12 - 00:17
So to start scales are any graduated sequence of notes,
- 00:18 - 00:21
tones or intervals dividing what is called an octave scales
- 00:22 - 00:23
can be major or minor.
- 00:23 - 00:25
That's a pretty big definition, so let's break it down
- 00:25 - 00:26
a little bit.
- 00:26 - 00:30
Essentially, a scale is a pattern of different notes, and
- 00:30 - 00:31
so there's a lot of different scales.
- 00:32 - 00:34
But what we focus on our major scales for this
- 00:34 - 00:37
class and what it means when it says intervals, dividing
- 00:38 - 00:39
what is called an octave and active.
- 00:39 - 00:42
It's just starting, for example, on middle C and then
- 00:43 - 00:45
going to the sea above that that is one octave.
- 00:45 - 00:47
You can also start on middle C and go to
- 00:47 - 00:50
the sea below that, and that's also a knock tive,
- 00:51 - 00:54
So a scale takes that active and you play the
- 00:55 - 00:57
notes in between so major scales.
- 00:59 - 01:01
Major scales are happy sounding scales.
- 01:02 - 01:04
They sound very complete, and they convey a positive tone
- 01:05 - 01:05
in the music.
- 01:09 - 01:10
So when you do this on your own.
- 01:11 - 01:13
There's a video right here that you can watch.
- 01:16 - 01:19
Minor scales tend to sound darker than a major scale,
- 01:20 - 01:21
and they're not as complete or satisfying.
- 01:22 - 01:25
I personally do like listening to minor scales, but they
- 01:26 - 01:28
still don't sound quite as happy as a major scale.
- 01:31 - 01:33
And there's again this black screen.
- 01:33 - 01:35
There's a video that you will need to watch when
- 01:35 - 01:38
you do this on your own, so that is what
- 01:39 - 01:39
our scales.
