Transcripts

1. What can you expect in this course?: Hello everyone. In this course, I'll give my best to teach you the piano basics and show you that it is possible to play the piano as a total beginner in around one hour. I'll show you how cool this is. An if you are able to count from one to 12, you'll have no other excuses to be able to play the piano. Okay. I'll see you guys inside. 2. Learn Piano in Less than 60 Minutes!: In this lesson, you are going to learn the basics of playing piano by ear without using nodes and without having any knowledge about this topic, will completely focused on things people mostly learned in piano academies, often struggling and spending years to make progress. So to avoid wasting time, let's start with the tone names first by dividing them into two groups, black and white keys. The first group is a group of two black keys surrounded by a group of three white keys. The second group is a group of three black keys surrounded by four white keys. And these exact patterns are repeated throughout the whole keyboard and it has a specific name, but we will discuss this topic later on. Now, the first group of tool, black and three white keys are the following. The white keys are C, and the black keys are C-sharp, D-sharp. And depending on their role, they can also be called D flat and E flat. Also something we will discuss later. We can play the same notes anywhere on the keyboard. Again. Now, the second group of three black and for white keys are the following. The white keys are a and B, and the black keys are F-sharp, G-sharp, A-sharp. And depending on their role, they can also be called G flat, a flat, and B flat. And again as well, we can play the same notes anywhere on the keyboard. Now again, F, G, a, B, and F-sharp. G-sharp, A-sharp. Okay? Once we have learned the names of tones on the keyboard, we are able to play our very first skill called C major. If we play all the white notes in the following array, C, D, E, F, G, a, B. We also need to form the proper finger positions. The basic fingering for the C major scale is 12312345, okay, which means R1 is our thumb. R2 is pointing finger, three is our middle finger, for is our fourth finger, and five is our pinky. Okay, 12312345. The same thing applies when playing C major scale backwards, as well as all other types of skills you'll learn in this course. Five, 4321. When it comes to hand posture, makes sure your chair is high enough where your back is not bent and your elbow should be within the same height as your keyboard. So make sure your wrist is relaxed and flexible, prepared to move along in both axes, right? For specific types of situations, also makes sure the most strength comes from muscles of your fingers and not from your arm, avoiding cramps and physical pain, as well as fatigue. Classic piano has only 12 notes repeated in patterns throughout the whole keyboard. We need to count each possible note from left to right, like this, 123456789101112. This is repeated. This is one. Once again. This is called the chromatic scale at it. And it is the biggest scale in music. Since there are 12 tones in it, the proper finger positions would be the following. 13113131, 12. So whenever you have a wide key followed by a black key, play it with your thumb, followed by your middle finger. Sorry. If there are two white keys with no black in-between played with your tongue and pointing finger, okay, but it happens only in two occurrences between F and B and C. The second rule is when chromatic scale starts with a black key, you're going to start to play it with your middle finger and just follow the previously explained pattern. For example, if we want to play F-sharp chromatic scale, we'll start off with. Our middle finger. And the next scheme is a white gate. We're going to play it with our thumb. The next one, once again, is a black key, so it's our middle finger, etc. The exception. Once again, the exception. And we're done here. So once again, one day, there are two types of steps in music, half-steps and whole-steps. A half step is a, theoretically, when you count the very first possible physical note from your reference point, for example, 1.5 step would be from C to C sharp, as there is absolutely nothing in-between these two physical nodes. A half-step is also from F sharp, G, as there is nothing in between, as well as from E to F, as there are no black keys between these two, the same thing applies from B to C. Okay? Whole-steps are when you count two half-steps from your point of reference. For example, if we take notes G as our reference point, we count plus two from G. And we're going to end up on node a. So, so g is our 0012. Okay? Another example would be from B to C sharp, for example. So B is our 0012. This is a whole step. No matter where you start, this rule is going to apply. Any tone can be referenced on or that 0 tone you start counting from. For example, our D-sharp is our 0 hours to our starting point, our reference point. Let's say we need one half-step from it, and that would be node E, right? So 01, okay, this is 1.5 step. One whole step would be note F case, since it's two half-steps away from that exact note we started, we started counting from one to 0. This is 1.5 step and this is one whole step. So the names of the toes as intervals are as following, and they might differ in a matter of different contexts. If we start counting from C and relating everything from that node, we get the following names. C is a perfect unison. This is plus 0 half-steps. C-sharp is a minor second. This is one half-step. Okay? D is a major second. And it's two half-steps away from our reference point, which is a seat. Okay? D-sharp. This is called a minor third, and it's 3.5 steps away from our reference points. So 0123, okay. The next one is called major third. It's four half-steps. So 01234, okay, The next step is called perfect fourth. So 012345, It's 5.5 steps away from our reference point. The next step is called augmented fourth or diminished fifth. And this is F sharp or G flat, sometimes. So 0.51234566 steps. The next one is called the perfect fifth gait. So 01234567, half-steps, perfect fifth. The next one is augmented fifth or minor sixth. This is G sharp, or a flat. Okay? So it is G-sharp related to G or a flat when you count from, hey, so once you flatten the a, you get a flat. Okay? So this is 012345678, half-steps, okay? The next one is major sixth, or a diminished seventh. And this is nine half-steps away. Okay? The next one is minor seventh, which is Dan half-steps away from our reference point. So 012345678910. Okay. The next one is major seventh. It is 11 half-steps away from our reference point. And the last one is called the Perfect Octave. Which is 12.5 steps away from our reference point. So 0123456789101112. Okay, perfect unison. Minor second, major second, minor third, major third, perfect fourth, augmented fourth, or diminished fifth, perfect fifth, augmented fifth, or minor sixth, major sixth, or diminished seventh, minor seventh, major seventh, and perfect doctrine. So this means you can count any interval from any reference point. For example, let's say our reference point is note G, K. And we need to count, for example, a perfect fourth, 012345. This is perfect fourth. Since it is 5.5 steps away from our reference point, which is our notes G. There are four types of courts are often called triads, which are used in music. So now we have major chord, we have a minor chord, we have a diminished chord and augmented chord. Major chords are happy Course, which have a bright sound and they're made up for root, node followed by one major third, minor third. So how do we count these things? Let's say our root node is, we need to count one major third from denote f, and that is 4.5 steps away from it. So 01234, which is a node a, the formula now says one minor third, But we count from denote we just came on. So count from note, a minor third from node a is 0123. This is node C, okay? This means we have nodes a and C. And this is called F major chord with the formula of 0 as our root node F. Then we have plus four half-steps, which is node a. And we have plus three, which is our known seats. So 0123. Okay? So what a formula for all major chords is 0 for three. Same thing applies for minor chords, but the formula is different. Minor course sound sad and really depressed. Sometimes in major courts, we had 0 for three. For minor chords. It is now 034. For example, let's build a G minor chord. So we start off from node G. We count plus three, so 0123, and that is B flat. And now we count plus four, which is 01234, which is a node D. And this we can build any other minor chord for any other node. For example, let's say E minor, 1231234. This is E minor diminished chord sound kind of scary and they also have a formula which is 033. Let's build for example, E diminished chord. We have as our root plus three would be 0123. Would it be an O to G? And another plus three half-steps would be note 0123, a B-flat. Okay? So this is E diminished. For example, let's say G-sharp diminished, 01230123. So this is G-sharp diminished. Augmented chords sound haunting and a different type of scary as like an individual type. Their formula is 044. And an example would be, let's say D augmented with the following notes as our root. So 01234, this is F sharp, and once again, plus four, so 01234, B flat, or a sharp. So this is the augmented chord. For example, b. Oh man, it would be 012341234. So this is the augmented chord. In this part, you'll learn how to form scales with simple formulas like we used for counting intervals. If you can do basic math in terms of counting, along with some logic, you're good to go. So there are four types of basic scales, but for this course we will cover only two of them, as they are most important types of scales and their usage is very wide in today's mainstream types of music. The major scales, the formula is 0 to 21 to two to one, and fingering formula is 12312345. If we start from a node C, that is our number 0 in the formula. It is our first node in the C major scale, and we will play it with our thumb. Okay? Next, the formula says two, and it means you need to count plus two half-steps from denotes C 012 in order to get the second note in the C major scale. So by doing that, you'll come to node D, OK, and we're going to play it without pointing fingers. So C is our first 012. The second note is D. The next number in the formula is again two, which means we now count another two half-steps from the current node D. And we're going to end up on denote E. So D is our 012. This is node E. This is the third note in the C major scale. You're going to play it with your third finger, which is a middle finger. Now, note E is our third note in the scale of C major. And next, the forward slash sign means we need to place our thumb once again underneath all other fingers in order to play the next node. So what is the formula says plus one. So the thumb goes underneath. Plus one from E is F. Means we go from E to F as that is it only possible solution in this case, right? So there are no in-between nodes here, between E and F. Now, the next number is two again, and that means f plus two half-steps is G. 012 half-steps. This is G. This is the fifth note in the scale of C major. And this has played with are pointing finger. Again, it says in the formula, plus two half-steps, which is a node a with our middle fingers. So 012 half-steps. This is a middle finger. So once again it says plus two, which is a node, be played with our fourth finger. So 012. This is node B. And finally, in the end it says one, which means plus 1.5 steps, which is node C played with our pinky, as there is absolutely nothing in between the B and C. So once again, the C major scale, 1212345, backwards is the same, 54321. We have minor scales next, and the formula is 0212122 and fingering formula is 12312345. The same as for D major scale. In the seat. Everything is the same, so except the counting of half-steps. And now let's read the formula and played along. So C is our 0 plus two is d. K plus one is E-flat or D-sharp. But within the C minor scale, we've have E-flat. Okay, you'll see why later on. Now it says plus two once again. So 012, thumb. Once again plus two, which is 01 to the next it says plus one. This is a flat. The next it says plus 2012, so it is B flat. And in the end it says once again, plus two. So 012, C, C, E-flat, G, a flat, B flat, C. Scale nodes have also degree names, and they are the following. Tonic, supertonic media and subdominant, dominant, submediant, and leading tone. Also the same thing applies for minor scales to, and any other types of scales, but denotes actually differ. In the example of C major scale, we have c is our tonic. It's our first-degree in this scale, is our supertonic. The second-degree in the scale is media, and our third degree in the scale, F is subdominant. Our fourth degree in the scale, G is dominant, or fifth degree in the scale. A is our submediant. Our sixth degree in the scale. B is our leading tone, the seventh degree in the scale. And once again, we come to the root position, which is our tonic note C. Okay, Our first degree in scale. Harmonic functions represent the roles of chords in specific tonality. For example, we are able to measure simple triads or courts for every node in a specific scale just by using the notes of that scale. For example, C major, our root node is C. And the first possible chord, just by using the notes of the C major scale would be exactly C major chord. But why is that? Remember when we learned how to form cords, and we said that C is our root. And then we have a major third. And we have a minor thirds stacked on top of each other. Well, in this example, the C major is our first chord, and the notes in this cord are also denotes a C major scale, right? The next chord in the C major scale would be formed if we just played the next note in the C major scale for all three current nodes. That means the note C would become D. Denote E, would it become, and denote g would become a. Now let's count the half steps between them in order to find out which chord that is. So 012301234. We have d as the root, and then F is plus 3.5 steps away, which means it's a minor third. And then a is plus four from f, k, so 01234, which makes a major third. Now, if you remember the formulas 034, it makes a minor chord. So if our root node is dy, that means the second chord in this progression is D minor. This is a D minor chord. We can just continue doing this. And until our thumb gets to see, once again, we're gonna be doing, we're going to be making chords from each node in the C major scale by using all the nodes from this C major scale. So the first chord is C major. The second chord is D minor. The next chord would be E minor K. So this is E minor. The fourth chord would be, this is F-major, the fifth chord. G-major, the sixth chord. This is a minor chord. The seventh chord. This is B diminished. Okay? This is B diminished because 01230123033 means the chord is diminished gate. And in the end we have C major chord once again, and that's where we stopped. So the best formula to learn would be like this. For major scales, we have major minor, minor, major, major, minor, diminished, a major chord. For minor scales, we have the minor, diminished, major, minor, minor, major, major, and minor chord. Okay? So for, for example, a C minor scale. Since we already know the scale and the scale nodes. So C, D, E-flat, F, G, A-flat, B-flat. And see, the first possible chord is C minor. Now we move through the C minor scale. C goes to D. If it goes to F, and G goes to a flat. Okay? So what's this? 01230123. This is a diminished chord. So this means on the second degree of C minor scale, we have a diminished chord. Now, next, E flat major, F minor, G minor, next, a flat major, B flat major, and once again C minor, okay? Chord inversions really serve a great purpose in music because they help us to navigate through different course easily. Imagine how hard would it be if we use only root positions of each chord. For example, jumping from C major to F-Major would mean literally this, right? But for this problem, we have chord inversions. Chord inversions are actually really easy to understand. As all we have to do is just swap the lowest note in our chord and played within the upper octave. Okay, let's say we have a chord, G-major root 1234123. Okay? This is G-Major. We have no, it's the G, B, and D. So the note G right here is the lowest note, our tonic note. If we played one octave higher, we get the first inversion of the chord, G major. So g one octave higher would mean we were going to play the G here. Now we have this be done and g. The same thing is going to apply for the second inversion. When you invert the first inversion, first inversion would be this. Now the lowest note is B. We're going to swap this B with this B here. So now we have this. This is the second inversion of the chord, G major. And that's also valid for minor chords, diminished and augmented as well. For example, let's say a C minor chord. This is the root position. First inversion is c goes here, and we have, This is the first inversion, second inversion, this is the lowest note. Now, this became the lowest note, so e-flat goes to one octave higher, and we have G, C, and E flat. This is the second inversion of the chord, C minor. For example, let's say, let's say G diminished, 01230123. This is the root position of the chord G diminished. The first inversion, G goes one octave higher, and we have this, the second inversion. This is the lowest note. Now, the B flat is going to this position and we have, This is the second inversion of the chord, G diminished. Let's say, let's say E augmented. So 0123401234. This is E augmented chord in first inversion egos here. This is the first inversion. Now G-sharp goes one octave higher and we get second inversion. But the fun thing with these augmented chords, for example, this is the root position of E augmented chord. And once we inverted for the first inversion, egos here, we're going to get the root position of the G-sharp augmented chord as well. For example, this is the root 0123401234. So at the same time, this is the first inversion of the E augmented chord and the root position of the G sharp augmented chord as well in the second inversion where they're going to get C augmented. Okay, so 01234012301234 once again. So in the second inversion, this is also the root of the C augmented chord. Okay? Let me show you some examples. If you play some chords with inversions where you actually don't jump physically that much, okay? For example, let's say, let's say C major, G major. This is the first inversion. Now a minor chord in first inversion. E minor chord, and second inversion. F major chord, second inversion. Once again, C major route. F major second inversion, G-major second inversion. C major in first inversion, with the left hand. So G major, a minor, E minor, F major, C major. F major. G major and C Major. Now we will train our ear to listen to the famous 145 progression. So in the example of C major scale, we have C major as our first chord. F major is our fourth chord, right? And G major is our fifth chord. In the scale of C major. This is one, this is two. This is the third chord. The fourth chord chord for seventh chord. Once again, first-quarter, okay? So only by using the notes of the C-Major Scale, we're gonna get the exact same chords, which we need to get. C major, D minor, E minor, F major, G major, a minor, diminished, and C Major once again. Okay, now let's see what do they sound like compared to each other? First of all, we will start off with C major, and regardless of the chord inversions we're in, we will be able to see how each of these chords sound. But before we begin, I just want to tell you that you can play bass notes from every chord by simply playing a root note of the chord you're on. For example, let's say a C major chord. The root node is node C. And we're going to play the bass note with our left hand, which is one octave lower, or for example, two octaves lower. Also, you can play with your, with your pinky finger and your thumb, which makes a double, double node C here, right? Okay, so the tonic, the octave, and in the right hand you're going to play the C major chord. So our C major chord is R1 and we will jump to the five chord, which is a G major, right? Okay, So this is G major, but this is the first inversion because it's easier to do this C major, G major rather than doing manger and jumping all left to here. It's a lot of physical movements here. So, and here, our C major chord sounds like a home cord where we feel safe and we don't need to change anything. Okay, once we jumped to the five chord, G major, sorry, we feel like there's an uprising tangent which needs to be resolved. Would you agree with me here? Okay, So C major, what would happen if I just left the piano now? Would you feel like something is unfinished and you would probably start hating me a little. Okay. But that's not what we want here. It's just it's just a way of expressing myself to do the show. How you can feel when something in music is unfinished, okay, So C major. And now I'm gone, and I haven't finished this harmonic progression. So something needs to be resolved. Okay? There's an uprising tangent which needs to be resolved once we get back from, let's say, C major, G major, or for example, C major. Let's invert it. Once we get back to the C major chord, we feel like that tension is resolved. So by returning to the chord one, the problem is solved right? Now, let's see what happens when we go from one to four chord, okay? And what is C major? The four chord is F major k. Does this sound remind you of something that brings your hopes up? This F major chord says, something new is coming. It's on its way, but it's not quite there yet, okay. Once again, so the hopes are present and something new is on its way, okay, but it's not quite there yet as we already, already said. Okay, once we're on the F-Major, we can go to the G major, for example, which is here, right? It's very, very near. And we're going to build the tangent once again, as we said, the fifth chord is in the tangent mode. And then once again, we're going to resolve this back to the C major or to go back, to go back home. Okay, So once again, for the five is our, this is our C major chord once again, okay, This is our home court. We went back home, right? But going from F major to C major is also possible, for example. But it sounds not so heavy like it sounds when doing five to one, for example, G to C. Okay, if you would agree with me. So this is not as heavy as it is when we go from five to one. There's not enough tangent here in this fourth chord. So this is where you need to practice these things by ear to get into these things and how each of these chords sounds compared to each other in a specific progression. Through time, your muscle memory will build itself and your course will become fluent, as well as you'll be able to finally play some music, okay, also, if you learn to hear the 145 floridly, you'll be able to play. Let's say, 90% of the today's pop mainstream music with ease, regardless of the scale you're playing. Let's play the same progression from another scale, regardless of the fact that you are still unable to play. For example, within the intonation of D major. D major is those like this. And the courts within the D major scale would be like this. D major, E minor, F-sharp, minor, G major, a major, D minor, C sharp diminished. And the major wants again. So for example, let's see, let's, let's use some inversions to make the heavier sound. Another thing worth mentioning is that 145 are the major chords in all major scales, and that 236 are minor chords. The seventh chord is always diminished. So 145, in the example of C major scale, are always major chords. Now. 26 are always minor chords. And the seventh chord is B diminished. In this example of C major scale, it's always diminished chord on the seventh degree, the major scale. How do they react with each other? Let's see. For example, C major, followed by D minor. Sounds kinda depressed, right? Once again, this sounds kinda depressed to me. I don't know if this works for you too, but for me, this is depression. Now, C major, followed by E minor. I would say that this sounds kind of nostalgic to me. Can you agree with me here? So once again, danger. Now, let's say C major, followed by a minor. This sounds pure sad to me. So this is the transition, once again, Major. This is a different level of sadness to me, and this is a pure status. If you ask, how do I react to these chord transitions? Okay? And now when combining both major and minor chords, we often tend to get back to the home chord, which in our case is a C major chord, for example, like this, let's say a major, major uprising. Now let's say, let's play a minor. This is pure sad. And five chord is G major, which needs to be resolved back to the home chord, which is C major. Now, let me play once again without me saying anything, just imagined the transitions between these chords. And imagine how do you feel internally. It doesn't have to be that you agree with my thoughts, which are, which are, for example, I said, depressing, depressing transitions, nostalgic transition is pure sadness, tangents, et cetera, uprising. I don't know. Just imagine this lesson, what I'm going to play and close your eyes. You don't even have to watch this while I'm playing now. Okay, So once again, before we begin explaining these new types of courts, we must clarify that every type of course we learned so far are called Quinta courts, as they have the roots C major third, which is a node E and a perfect fifth. This is G. Note, when counting the distances from the root node, the word Quinta means five. And as we have a perfect fifth, which is a G, That is where the word Quinta cord is derived from. On the other side, we now have septa courts, which literally means the court has seven notes in it. So we will need to play these types, of course with four fingers at once. Basic example of a septa court, would it be C major seventh chord? We build this chord by adding an extra major third above the perfect fifth. In the example of C major chord, the formula will be like this. So C is our root, our perfect unison, It's R1, okay? He is our major third. The three, G is our perfect fifth. The five and b is our major seventh, okay? This node B is one major third above this, above this perfect fifth, as we already said. Okay, so 01234 plus four half-steps is a major third. So this is a C major seventh chord. And then we're going to play this with 1235 or 1234. Fingers. Ok. Now this chord sound really jazzy and nice. Okay, it gives that special texture also when playing along with the bass note. For example, in the left hand. The next type of septa chord is C dominant seventh, or simply C7. The formula is the following. Is a root is our major third, G is our perfect fifth, and B flat is our dominant seventh. So this B flat is a minor third above the perfect fifth case. So 0123 plus three half-steps means it's a minor third. So this is a dominant seventh chord. And these types, of course, usually are meant to build tangents which tend to resolve to something else. In most cases, they will resolve to either major or minor chord, which is 5.5 steps away from the root node. So for example, if we had a C7, our root node is C, and a C7 chord would resolve to either F major or F minor. So 012345, this is 5.5 steps away. Now, the tangent is going to be released here, okay? So C7 to F minor, for example. This is F minor in second inversion because it's easier for me to play it like here, rather than going from C7 to F minor here. Okay? So once again, and the tangent is released here. Okay? Now let's release the tangent by going into the major chord, the same note, k. So it's going to, it's going to be F-major C7. The tangent is also released. Now. Next we have minor seventh chords, and these add some extra layer of sadness to minor chords. For example, the formula C root flat is our minor third. G is our perfect fifth, and B flat is our dominant seventh chord. And this sounds like this. We abbreviate these cores as C, M7, for example. So C minor seven, they really sound cool, especially in their second inversions. For example, let's say B-flat major, C major, D minor seventh in the second inversion. Once again, that's played for one octave lower. This is the minor seventh in the second inversion, okay? Next version is the minor, major seventh. Okay? This is a very weird sounding chord often played in the hands of some harmonic progressions. And a formula is the following suit is our root, is a minor third, g is our perfect fifth, and node B is our major seventh. Okay? An example would be, for example, let's say F minor major and C minor major seventh. Listen how it sounds. Let's play this For one. Let's play this in one octave lower. We have many types of courts, but we will mention some of them for now as their usage is never studied depending on what you're playing. So the formulas are as following. C6, C minor six, C diminished seventh. C diminished major seventh. C minor seven, flat five. This is a flat five, okay? C of men and seventh. C augmented major seventh. Seats us to c sus4. See, Add to, see ad for. In this final section, we will finally be playing some course while listening to how they sound and how do they react to each other in a progression. Let's play chords in a following way. So you're going to play the chord C major in this pattern. You're going to play the perfect fifth and the major third first together. And then you're going to play the note by itself. Okay, so the pattern is like this. So regardless of the chord inversion, urine, for example, let's say we play the c major in first inversion. You are going to play these two nodes together. And this node you're going to play by itself, okay? So once again. Same thing would be applied for the second inversion. For example, in the key of C major, let's say the C major chord in the second inversion would be like this. Or for one octave lower gate. Now, finally, the progression. Let's play the famous canon composition. This is a classical composition, okay, In C, G major, a minor, E minor, F major, C major. F major, G major. Then once again, C major. Now without me saying anything, Let's play this. Now. You should be able to play this right now, regardless of the fact that you are playing the piano, I don't know for how long, so far. So this is extremely easy to play because everything is, everything is played in white keys. Okay, So this is the C major scale and we're just using the courts of the C major scale. Once again. Or for example, the composition of Canon in D would sound like this. That would be it my friends, and I hope you like this course. And now as you can see, it's possible to play a piano after just one hour of learning, but not going to lie, you're still not a professional and it will take some time while you get used to things. I advise you to go check out my other courses here, which are more in-depth tutorials about piano theory and practice. And let me know if you have any questions and I'll see you guys later.
