Hello Ted, I can't thank you enough for putting out this video. You can explain things clearly that very few could - indeed, a talented and sincere music teacher. I am a Jazz piano student, and like you and many others, I don't have perfect pitch, although my youngest brother does, so I know quite a bit about this natural gift. On the other hand, I have a sound degree of relative pitch and had begun my training, on my own, on Solfege a few years ago. I am at a place where I am pretty good at churning out simple arrangements by ear with relative ease. That said, I want to know more about modulation and how I might twig the Solfege in this capacity. I would be very grateful for any advice you can give me. Again, Ted, thank you for all your help to us music students. You are a great and knowledgeable teacher - I enjoy your videos. Ivan Brisbane Australia

In our solfege training we were taught how to always reach the root note from any note in the scale with standard steps of tension resolution. It's the idea that some notes are stable (1,3,5,8) and unstable (2,4,6,7). The unstable notes have their closest relation stable note yhey resolve to and then once you're on the triad it's easy to get back to home note.

In China, we primarily use numbered musical notation, so we sing 'do re mi fa so la si'. It wasn't until five years ago that I learned this system is called 'Solfège'. We are not familiar with 'intervals'. So, when I see many foreigners immediately sing notes like 'F A C#', it seems like they all possess the superpower of absolute pitch. This might be a cultural difference between the East and West. We focus more on holistic perception and relativity, while you emphasize specific analysis and absolute positioning.

Transposing melodies is the best for me because I want to sing in combination of perfect and relative pitch. But before that, learn my music theory.

Nice...I never considered sight singing ear training, but it makes sense that it would help. I've actually been trying to start doing that (but I was trying to learn reading...still quute bad at it 😅)

I downloaded the functional ear trainer app after you mentioned it in the last video and I’m super happy with my progress, I can feel my relative pitch getting better every day. One feature I found useful is the advanced mode where you can get it to play a short melody instead of single notes (you have to fiddle with the settings a little) it ups the difficulty when you completed all the basic levels and is also a way to bridge the gap to transcribing real music

Hey, I'm having issues with finger placement especially when I'm playing different scales. My fingers be getting tied up and I be hitting wrongs😂😂...are you gonna make a video explaining how to correctly do this fluently or is it included in a course?

@pianofluency 10 ай бұрын

Go to my channel and you'll find a reference video with all major scale fingerings :) enjoy!

How do you know this note will work with this note in playing melodies

@joeloss1 11 ай бұрын

Lots of great info here. I'm still hoping to get further with jazz improvisation and this is an essential part I've ignored so far.

Functional Ear Training app really works... at least up to a point. I slowly improved with C Major, and then when tried to test me on random Keys, I thought I'd never get it ... and yet a week later I was consistently scoring 80+%, and now it is almost effortless. Unfortunately, I've never mastered the final exercises, where the notes commingling the highest and lowest registers. I tried for a month, made zero progress and basically moved on to other things. Might need to dust it off and try it again. Perhaps adding sight signing or transposing simple melodies will help.

Awesome! If you're getting really strong on every level except the extreme registers, I bet you're ready to focus on transcribing melodies and chord progressions in the music you like.
