Music Theory

On Thursday’s when we are in college we have a four hour lesson with Nick about music theory in these lessons we are learning about notation major and minor chords and how to make a standard song using those chords another thing we have been working on as well is circle of 5th

we also learnt how to find the scale with any of the notes on a piano the trick to finding them is in the tones and semi tones or Steps and half steps depending on what you are used to for example to find the c major scale you would start at the root note which is C and work your way up going Tone, Tone, Semi-Tone, Tone, Tone, Tone, Semi-tone. and you should get C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C

Along with the circle of fifths we learned about the notes in a scale (for an example i will be referencing the C major) in the C major scale C would be the root note, D would be D minor, E would be E minor, F would be F major, G would be G major, A would be A minor, B would be Diminish and back to C for an octave.
