Learn the Major Scale & Its Intervals on Piano (Theory & Notation)
In this music theory lesson you explore all types of musical intervals, Major, Minor, Diminished and Augmented, and learn to read them on staff notation. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music walks you through every interval type and how to read it on the staff. You'll then identify and name the intervals from each note of the major scale (not just the root), using the keys of D and Bb major to make it stick. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 - Performance 00:33 - Introduction 01:03 - 3 Ways to look at Intervals 01:48 - Intervals w.r.t chord and scale 02:42 - Intervals w.r.t neighbour tones 03:10 - Diatonic Intervals 04:02 - Each Part of the Series Explained 05:48 - Types of Intervals - Music Theory 06:06 - Indian Music Notes 09:16 - Scale Degree 10:44 - Reading Intervals on Staff Notation 11:22 - Visualising 3rds 12:47 - Alphabet Thirds 15:28 - Alphabet Singing 16:07 - Sing notes clockwise in a circle 16:47 - Sing Notes Counter Clockwise in circle 17:19 - Memorizing Scales 17:53 - Draw Piano Diagram 18:19 - Fourth Intervals 18:57 - Finding Fifths 19:51 - Sixth Interval 20:56 - Intervals of Bb Major 21:49 - Visualise Octave 22:13 - Visualisation of 3,5,7 & 9 23:58 - Every interval wrt each Note of the Scale 24:15 - 2nd Intervals in the D major scale 24:37 - Major Scale Formation 25:16 - 3rd Intervals in D major scale 26:48 - 4th Intervals in the D major scale 28:17 - 5th Intervals in the D major scale 29:12 - 6th Intervals in the D major scale 30:23 - 7th Intervals in the D major scale 32:09 - Forming Chords with Intervals 33:51 - Conclusion 34:32 - Preparing Ahead ============================= 📹 Our Video Courses (Everything for Life Bundle) ➡️ https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🎹 Piano Courses & Private Lessons ➡️ https://piano.nathanielschool.com ============================= ▶️ Related Lessons & Playlists 🎵 Music Theory lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory 🎹 All our lessons on Chord Inversions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC 👂 Ear Training lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/EarTraining ============================= 🎓 Learn Music with Nathaniel School of Music & Jason Zac ➡️ https://nathanielschool.com 📚 All our YouTube lessons (1000+) by skill level, topic & genre ➡️ https://learning-portal.nathanielschool.com ============================= 💰 Donate on PayPal ➡️ https://geni.us/DonatePayPal 📸 Instagram ➡️ https://instagram.com/jasonzac 📞 Call +91 98454 65411 · 💬 WhatsApp chat +91 77604 56847 📧 Customised & Private Classes ➡️ music@nathanielschool.com 🎧 Listen to Jason Zac Music ➡️ https://riffs.jasonzacmusic.com/ #MusicIntervals #StaffNotation #MusicTheory
