Composition & Improvisation: A Non-Linear View of the Major Scale

[@Foster-57]

Wow ! I've always had an ear for music and enjoyed playing saxophone in high-school. I enjoyed it but couldn't afford an instrument Now 7 years later I bought a full size digital piano, I felt an overwhelming urge to return to music I have been wating nothing but your videos and practicing ! You have such passion and love for music, the only teacher I can relate to. you are a blessing. Thank you

Your most beautiful words of appreciation fill me with pure joy this day, my friend. I am so happy that you rediscovered your love of music and that we discovered each other in cyberspace. All the best to you in music and life!

I..I mean it feels like all the music I've heard for years suddenly makes sense...the hierarchical relationship and how to tell a story with the tension and releases, both while composing and improvising.. I just watched your video and suddenly everything's clicks into its place. I can't thank you enough for these videos. 😀

YES!!!! Music to my ears, Kabeer! It gives me deep satisfaction to know my lessons help students take their playing to the next level. Thanks for the most kind words of appreciation and all the best to you in music and life, my friend.

[@Pianoologist]

Thanks a bunch for asking, my friend. I do make a little bit, about 50 cents a day on average! All the best to you music and life!

Nice video. Now it's time for this question I hide so long time : In French we say Sol and we say Si. Where do So and Ti come from?

It's too bad that there is no one standard naming convention for the solfege. That said, feel free to use any names you like, knowing that you will soon abandon names like training wheels.
