In this lesson we look at the abstract mathematical form that defines the Major Scale (our familiar Do-Re-Mi sound), how it can be moved around to different starting (or Tonic) pitches on the keyboard, and how this knowledge of a scale can help us move “When the Saints Go Marching In” to a different starting pitch on the keyboard and keep it sounding like the same tune. We also dip our toes into the vast waters of Harmony (ie. two or more pitches sounding simultaneously) with a Harmonic Yoga exercise and some listening examples that highlight Consonance versus Dissonance.
In order to follow along effectively, you will need to be familiar with the keyboard (see Episode 4 for an introduction to the keyboard) as well as the basic concept of Tonality (see Episode 7).
