An Ear Training Gondola Ride through the Canals of the Major Scale (Episode 12)

In this Episode of Busy Bards Ear Training, we go on a nice gondola ride through the canals of the major scale.

We're only using notes 1, 7, and 5. When 1 is the tonic, or the home note, we will always feel the most comfortable when heading there. 7 always tends to point us back to home, because it’s so close. Note 5, when it’s BELOW note 1, also tends to direct us back home to note 1. We’ll cover why in a future lesson.

If you're new here, Welcome!

At Busy Bards College we combine various musical systems to help busy guitarists master the most amount of theory with the least amount of memorization, so they can start making their own music even during their busiest workdays.

To do this, we are doing:

Call and Response Solfege Training, but with the movable numbers of a FIXED major Scale.
1 always starts the major scale.
6 always starts the minor scale.
We adjust these numbers as needed. (For example, we can do a #5 to create the leading tone of the harmonic minor scale)
We only use letter pitches (A - G#) when where to place the major scale to establish a key. (1 on G# = G# Major)
Chords are named by their root, and are harmonzied by their triads. ("The 1 Chord" = notes 1, 3, 5 and 7, "The 5 Chord" = 5 7 and 2, etc...)
Rhythm typically focuses on the START points of each hit, and I switch between a Takadimi system and a 1e+a system.

All of this allows musicians of ALL backgrounds and levels to come together during their busy work days to further their ear and musical training starting RIGHT NOW.
