@@TheCelticCello I have an adjustable piano bench. After watching your video I realized it was too low by a couple of inches. I can’t wait to try it out today. 🎻🎻🎻
Brilliant Cliodhna! You are so gifted as an auditory learner. Thx for taking the time to post. Happy anniversary regarding the Cellos for Trees project. Have to hit goal! All best wishes.
Great tutorial - Thank You! How you dertermine the Key Signature for transcribing trad Pentatonic tunes? They don't have the same number of accidentals as their 7-note scale counterparts, but a D Major Pentationic Scale still feels pretty much like the Major scale, even without the C sharp.
Great question! The key signature remains the same. D Major Pentatonic will have an F sharp and a C sharp. The pentatonic scale will not use the C sharp. However if you are harmonizing and want to use the dominant chord of A major, you will need the C sharp. Hope this helps!
