I always memorized the modes by „where the Half steps are“: Ionian: 3-4 and 7-8, Aeolian: 2-3 and 5-6. Etc once you know this, the rest with what you need to flatten or sharpen is only a consequence... And „where the half-steps are“ is clearly visible on the piano, if you play only the white keys and start with eg D for Dorian or E for Phrygian etc...

[@filmfaithandlevity]

I'm going to be honest, as someone who knows almost nothing about music theory this is kind of overwhelming. I understand that it is a lot more information than you usually consume at once, but music theory always feels like it expects you to understand other parts of music theory no matter where you actually start. I always feel the need to ask "before you continue, what do you actually mean by ___".

[@elumixor]

You don't know how much I appreciate you putting this out for free. My sister put my life savings into a Trust. So, I don't even have 50cents for a sodapop.

[@KevinFlatt]

I love that the deeper you dive, the more songs start to become reference and the more we can really relate. That’s really the beauty of all of this. The more we truly understand, the more we can truly see all the underlying theory to how we feel about so much of the music we listen too!

[@ffggddss]

Totally awesome! You're right on target, saying that different people learn new things in different ways. A fellow amateur performer once asked me after I played & sang a fairly lengthy tune, how I memorized long, complicated lyrics. I had only thought fleetingly about it before that, and his question has had me trying to answer that for years now. Because I can do that with some songs, but just cannot do it with others that ought to be easier. Best I can come up with is, the ones I manage to memorize, I get a mental picture/movie of, as the story unfolds, and remembering those images, brings the lyrics to mind. Having been taught piano from a young age, I just learned the circle of fifths, I think by associating the steps in it with some other, now vague, mental images. So I suppose I'm a visual learner. OBTW, you might have pointed out, and I hope most of your viewers picked this up, that the order of sharps and flats, simply follows the Co5ths. Also note that the major scale can be built from the Co5ths. Example: the C-major scale. The roadmap for this is, start with the step 4 of the scale (F), then repeatedly go up a 5th, or down a 4th (which is just the inversion of an upward 5th), whichever stays within the octave spanned by the scale. So you go: Start: F -4th = C +5th = G -4th = D +5th = A -4th = E +5th = B, and you're done, because you've filled up the 7 slots needed. All you have to do then is unscramble the order. ;-) Fred

Do you remember the old magnus organs with the push button chords to the left of the keyboard? The order of those buttons is how I learned the circle of 5ths as a child. It was imprinted in my memory at that time. 50 years later I still envision those buttons in my head.

[@keyboardsandlife]

Love it. I just noticed the formula is Lydian, Ionian, Mixolydian, Dorian, Aeolian, Phrygian, Lochrian for each mode. i.e. if you start with G ionian (C Lydian), then from there go along the circle of 4ths and the modes will go in that order. C Lydian (G Ionian), C Ionian (C Major), C Mixolydian (F Ionian), C Dorian (Bb Ionian), C Aeolian (Eb ionian), C Phrygian (Ab ionian) and finally C Lochrian (Db ionian). It's amazing the patterns you can find in music.

In addition to memorizing the major scales (and the circle of fifths), I would recommend actually building all of them yourself from the major scale formula (WWHWWWH). This will help you memorize them and have a much deeper understanding of why they have certain notes, and why the circle of fifths is set up the way it is. Thanks, Rick!

Think of the major scale as a phone number. Going up in semi-tones or frets on the guitar or keys on the piano. Starting on the root the phone number that describes the major scale is 221 2221. The minor scale phone number, starting on the root, is 212 2122. Both of which add up to 12 - which is how many chromatic notes in a scale.

Dr. Beato, thank you. I was kept back in the 4th grade because I could not read. Like you said, I could not remember what I read. I also, had a problem with spell; I can't spell for $h!t. Other kids and Adult would wonder, how can you know so much stuff, but can't read or spell. I can read and I can spell a little, but I can't remember how to spell some words ; or remember what I read two minute ago. I'm 64 years old as of January 9, 2021. You have explained what is wrong with me. I thought I was the only one in the world who had this problem. As a black child in Washington, DC Public School, I was classified as retarded (mentally ill). I fought though school by remembering what the teacher said as appose to reading stuff. This help me through to high school, but when I got to college I was screwed. Because, professors would say, in some of my classes read chapters 1 to 10 test on Friday and walk out of the class. I dropped out, and I'm 32 credits from a degree in Mathematics and Computer Science. I am retired now; I wish someone would have explained or said what you've said in this video way back than. Instead of trying to put me in special education class or sending me to the principles office, or call my parents because I wouldn't go to the special education classes (with kids who had behavioral problems and other physical issues) or kicking me out of school. Only if someone knew about A.D.D. back then. Thank you so very much Rick (Dr. Beato).

The Produce Like a Pro channel did something similar for Baker Street, I believe. I'm not into that song so I didn't watch it, but I'm pretty sure I remember seeing it in my notifications.

@@africkinamerican I see. Maybe I need to get into "music" more like what was on display at the grammy awards this year. gag..... Music is either good, or it's not. It doesn't matter what type or generation it's from.

You don’t have to learn an instrument to make music or appreciate theory! Have fun with it😊

@@zeapic8500 I lived with a percussion major for three years. She didn't understand the science stuff me and my friends would talk about in college and I wouldn't understand the music theory stuff she and her friends would talk about. It's fun learning bit by bit

[@MICKEYISLOWD]

If you are interested , make me happy and buy a keyboard. Learning an instrument is addictive and such a joy. Learning a song you love or a classical piece like 'Prelude In C Major' is wonderful. I enjoyed the practice all the time. You could even make videos of your unboxing the keyboard and your first yr of progress.

This was truly great! Really helped me to connect some pieces together!

Rick thanks for the discount!!!! I bought the Beato Book and the Ear Training course yesterday! Cheers🍺

[@markgoodwin5306]

If I read something over and over, I can eventually understand and remember. I wrote out the entire fretboard and stared at it until I found patterns, that’s how I learned it. So if someone catches me staring at a blank wall, I’m probably in another dimension visualizing something haha.

Same. No idea what a sharp or a flat is.

[@DunmoresMovieMania]

I kinda figured this was more for people who have a basis in music to begin with. I've taught for nearly 40 years - so I can easily keep up - but I can definitely see places where I imagine Rick is taking for granted his listeners know certain stuff - like when he started suddenly talking about the "B diminished" chord in the scale of C major. Civilians be like: "Whaaaa----? Hang on! Where'd THAT word come from?!"

[@anthonywhelan5419]

Thanks Rick, you are the best. I had similar issues as a kid. I had a loving mother and sister. They encouraged me. My sister taught me Latin at the age of 12. That transformed me. I can now also read koine Greek, French and Italian. I'm not great at speaking them but Latin was the key. Your emphasis on the keys in music is right. Keys are for unlocking the treasure trove of music.
