Merci for this. I've been preparing for studying music for about 4 years, and just bought a piano this week. Videos like this are an inspiration.

Great video! Very practical and useful suggestions to a beginner on which scales to start with.

This is great. It helps to have this info so I can make a plan for practicing. I've learned F C G D major scales so far--now I know where to start as far as minor, pentatonic and blues scales. Thanks!

Really love your work ❤ this is really helpful for the beginners💐💐

Great content as usual!!

I’ve been a professional keyboardist for a decade now and decided to go right back to the basics. Mate thanks for these gems!🔥👏🏽

Trying to learn piano by myself bc lessons are expensive lol. Its going really well to be honest, i could already play some basic things but i want to be able to read sheet music and be able to play that. Thank u for these videos :)))

Thanks for the video! Enjoyable and makes scales seem less daunting… 😊

Thanks very much. This is the most comprehensive content in less than 10minutes...

This has enhanced my piano playing. Thanks. 😉

Why u have only got 2.3k likes?? U deserve more than that... U have saved my time and life... It was so nice to learn from you... U r sooooo gudd brooh❤❤

Very helpful! 👍Thank you 🙏 I like the sequence: natural-harmonic-melodic. It helps memorizing the pattern.

Thanks for this man. Appreciate your content!

Your videos are always a godsend, man!! I've been organizing myself to get my keyboard studies going for good this time and i was at a loss on where/how to start. Thank you so much for doing this, wish you only the best 💜💪

Helpful. Thanks!

Best video I’ve found for a question that lot of people are most likely asking

I've been playing piano for about 2 years, and have done alot of work on scales and the circle of 5ths, but I've never understood other things. I know obviously major and minor scales, and within minors there is harmonic and tonic. But then there's the chromatic scale, blues scales, pentimento scales, and now that I've started guitar I'm hearing about mixylodian scales.

What scales have you learnt so far? 🎹

GREAT video.

This was exactly what I was looking for. Appreciate your teaching style. Great video quality. Cheers!

very helpful

The blues scale 🎹🎶💯

Merci.

Is there any upside/downside to learning the two whole tone scales? I've only just started with keyboard yesterday and was practising whole tone as it seems to help internalise the tone and semitone jumps from each key, if that makes sense.

Are all these scales taught for both the left and right hand?

Bro lookin like Kelsi the composer from High School Musical (2006). Love the video, thanks :)

Awesome vid I learnt all 12 major scales nice to know that the natural minors use the same notes. How do I train my ears to recognise the scale or rather the key?

Thank you Iam 47 old I learned a lot from you I

Okay dear... Same question I asked many.. nobody gave the answer. How much time do u think it will take to go from 0 to 4 notes per beat at 120 BPM? Lets suppose u can have 3-4 hour daily practice. I mean I am almost 6-7 months into piano learning... And I need to judge my progress but dunno have a average benchmark to compare with.. so thinking if I am progress even right or not. Cant play both hands together yet.. just started trying but can do about around 2 notes per beat at 120 bpm with both hands seperatly. How much more time u think its gonna take to go to 4 notes per beat? ..Now dont say it depends like all rest. Just give me a rough estimate so that I can evaluate if I am going all right or have to change way of doing things. I mean I practice on my own. Few scales I might even can do at 150 I guess or 300 straight bpm. My idea at start of the year was to accomplish it by the end of this year but maybe not gonna reach it I suppose. I mean u have gone through that period yourself and must have seen or observe many student in your life. So whats your general take? Just give me a general idea with that much practice hour .. and +- 10-20% will be okay for me i guess. And lets not talk about with both hand together speed just hands separately will do for the moment. I need that much speed or clarity for something u c.

i think your lessons are great and I'm learning a lot, would just like you to slow speech down a tad , feels like a race when you talk.

Okay so when the talks have came to modes.. lets dig into it one more time. Its sorta 3rd kinda lesson about modes ..right globs? 😀 I dunno actually what good it for or used for.. but yeah thats what I came to know about it on youtube. Think sometimes they called church modes or something.. so might be used in that music. Anyways first day I came across a video about it ..it was just simple and straight forward. You play a scale but from its different note that is that mode of that scale. Like if u play C scale from C its Ionian mode... If u play C scale but from its D to D note its its Dorian mode ..and so on. Better call it note position than specific note so that we can scale it to different scales without confusion. So 1. Ionian 2. Dorian 3. Phrygian 4. Lydian 5. Mixolydian 6. Aoelian 7. Lockrian Its too simple obviously u need to play any mode of any scale just play that same scale but from its that note. Simple enough...right? 😀 Now one or two days back I encountered another video about the topic.. and this time it was some jazzy blue kinda guy. Now the way he started describing modes. My head started spining. Like u flatten this u flatten that. And it wasnt about flattening a note.. its about how I learned it in first place. That was simple enough u dont need to care what note flatten or what u just have to care about that u know that major scale. U just play it from that position. Now this guy was telling things quite differently. And I thought what the heck.... Whats going around. But then lil insight told me they both were talking the same thing but different angles. So me summarize what I happen to understand it like from those two videos about the topic. Its very true if you have to play the dorian mode of C scale or play Dorian mode from D note u got to play C scale from D. So if u wanna play Dorian mode from E note u have to play D scale from E cause its in D scale that E is at 2nd note position. So whether u say u play dorian mode of D scale or just Dorian mode from E note ..its upto you. Cause in both eays interval distance between notes of dorian scale not gonna change. Like every major scale has different key pattern but notes interval pattern is consistent among all 12. And since we learn manor scale first so we usually see other things or scales with reference to it. Thats easier to comprehend and manage info. And better if we from now on talk about note as position rather than letter cause that gonna confuse thing. So when we are talking about flattening some note we talking with reference to some benchmark... Major scale pattern here in this case. So sorta Major scale kinda assumed as pure scale and u flatten or raise certain note and u get that other thing. Though its another matter that major scale sound more impure to me. 😀 And I have also read that thats what it is thought about that scale. Its just wokable workaround than perfect scale. Anyway..lets keep to topic. Lets try see it though C scale modes and mode on every scale will have same interval pattern since parent scale are same pattern.

Wait…was it really that hard to not play them as you talked about them at the piano… bruh

💪🧡

Jesus, this is advanced as fuck

🤣🤣Did I click on the wrong session for a compleat beginner ? 🤪. I will carry on regardless 👍

But daddy... My ear's is not good and I don't know what to do it daddy.. please can you help me of it

Crazy complicated.

This teacher is very knowledgeable but he sounds so much like the GEICO gecko lizard that I just don't think I could follow more than a few minutes without thinking of my car insurance and wondering if I could actually get a better rate. 😁

this actually is a talk show

…..so we’re just gonna sit here and talk in front of the piano and not play a single note to show examples?

bro sat with a piano in front of him and didn't play it once lmfao

You're not actually playing the piano in this vid?

You lost me after five minutes I am afraid so obviously I need something more basic.

You spoke so much and showed us the keyboard, yet didnt play anything!
