This is absolutely insane. I took piano lessons as a child (and have been playing independently, off and on, for 12 years, so I feel a bit insecure about the technicalities that I either missed or have forgotten) and this is the first time this has ever clicked for me! I remember being a child and filling out a theory book with this sort of thing, and not really understanding what was happening! I have been watching these videos for two days straight, trying to review even the simplest things that I know I understand, and I find them so helpful, and you so down-to-earth and a great teacher. Thank you so much for these videos, they're a wonderful idea and window into the world of music for people of all levels.

I just remember the sharps and major scales in two different groups of three keys. The even and the odd group. Everybody knows the C has no sharps, so it's the first note of the even group. Every next note on the keyboard has two extra sharps. So C D E have 0 2 4 sharps. Everybody knows the G has one sharp, so it's the captain of the odd group. Every next note has two extra sharps. G A B have 1 3 5 sharps To play the major scale in either one of the groups you have to play two more sharps than the previous scale. And these two sharps are always the leftmost (unused) sharps of the two groups of black keys. So if I want to play the D major scale I just take the C scale and add the leftmost black key of the group of three (F#) and the leftmost black key of the group of two (C#) to the scale. If I want to play the A major scale I take the G major scale and add the leftmost unused black keys (G# C#) to the group (F#). It's hard to explain in words, but it makes sense when i'm at the piano.
