Escalas, acordes y Arpegios!

Hello, how are you, friends? Right now we're doing the programming for the summer courses over there in Mexico, So stay very attentive because we are very excited to fix all this And really trying to bring you new things, innovative, new music, songs, I'm looking at music education from the point of view of other cultures. And something I want to share with you is the way I'm approaching the concepts with my students. The European Parliament has a duty to ensure that the European Parliament is able to take part in the debate on the future of the European Union. The videos, the social networks. I think it's very important now to be able to reach our students. Something that is very important for a musician is to know how to create a melody It seems very simple and the truth is that it is, but when we start to create a melody Or when we tell you to compose a melody, enter the brain of spiders, The brain enters wanting to complicate everything to make melodies that have no feet or head. Then we need to get back to basics. What is a melody? A melody is a musical idea. It is an idea that cannot be expressed in any other way than in music. I can't paint or say it only through music and that's what a melody is. So let's start to see how to build a melody and how to do it in a very simple way. The first thing we need to see is something about the stairs. And he's been talking a lot about the scales, about how the major scales are generated from sustained ones, Starting with the bemoles, but basically the scales are this superposition of notes in consecutive form. That's all. And then comes another resource, another tool that's very useful for creating a melody. Son loses his arpeggios. To be able to talk about chords and arpeggios we have to understand what an interval is. But that's the simplest thing in the world. An interval is the distance from one sound to another. For example, if I put a do and then put a sol here, the distance is do, re, mi, fa, sol. The distance is a quinta. If I put a do and there's a re, the distance is a second. Do a third one, and so on, and so on. And this last interval is super important, the third. Because the third one is what I'm gonna be building all my chords with. All the agreements are built on base three. Then let's make our first chord. Ah, and we'll start with three-chord solo. Let's put our first chord together. Do, me, and Sol. Perfect, we got it. Here is our well-armed agreement. And with that we have our first chord. But what's the difference between an chord and an arpeggio? A un accord can also be called a triad. The triads are how we're going to accommodate the sounds. For example, a scale is the sounds superimposed in a consecutive way. And one chord is to use three sounds of the same scale in no consecutive way. In the case, for example, if yo tengo do, re, mi, fa, sol. Son loses who we dance that chord. And the basic difference between an chord and an arpeggio is that in the chord everything is in vertical form. And in the arpeggio, one note after the other. You would do the chord, mi, sol. After we use these bricks. These bricks we're going to use to create our melodies. But look, it's not just about putting notes. It's not about unifying an idea. I always like to sing first and write later. Or touch and write. But always the music before. We're expressing what we imagine. No more reverses. For example, if I do... And now the challenge is to write that melody. Because it's a melody that, I say, honestly isn't the most important melody in the history of music. But it's a melody that might be worth a solfege class. For a little song. I'll give you a salute. For a goodbye. And use it. We can use it because we all naturally have a lot of melodic inventiveness. The trick is to have the craft of going from imagination to written music and being able to rehearse it. So, well, I hope this will help us. And we're gonna do a lot of exercises like this and a lot more in the workshops in July. So, please, keep writing and see you in the summer there. - I'll see you later.
