October 25 Build a Triad From Another Scale Note
Last time, we built our first triad using C, E, and G. But what happens when we start on a different note of the scale?

In Lesson 012 of Learn Music Theory, we're taking the next step in understanding triads!

Starting with D in the C major scale, we'll use our familiar take-one, skip-one pattern to build D, F, and A. Then we'll explore G major and practice finding triads from another starting note.

You'll learn how to:

- Build a triad from a different scale note.
- Follow the take-one, skip-one pattern.
- Keep track of scale degrees without changing their original numbering.
- Practice finding triad notes on your own.

Remember, music theory isn't about memorizing everything overnight. It's about understanding one small idea at a time.

Keep learning, keep experimenting, and most importantly, keep making music! 💚

October 25, 2023 Major Scale
Okay, you made it this far! Congrats!
Thanks for tuning into this series.
In this video, I do my best to explain the Major Scale and how to construct it.
I say construct because when you learn the steps and patterns you can apply this to any other note to make its major scale.
I did my best to make it as short as possible. I hope this is all useful, reach out for help.
