Description
Let's dive deeper into the exploration of solfège!This course focuses on two scales that are very similar to one another, the minor pentatonic and minor blues scales.While these scales may have less notes than a regular minor scale, the forced leaps between some scale degrees actually make this scale a bit more challenging to navigate. That's why I chose to start the intermediate level solfege courses with pentatonic and blues scales.In this course you'll be taught:- How the minor pentatonic and blues scales are created- New intervals: descending major 3rd and minor 3rd- New chords (Minor 7th chord)- Singbacks within the minor pentatonic and blues scales- Various forms of ear tests within these scalesMy hope is that this course will benefit the following musicians:- Guitar, piano, horn players wanting to feel more confident within their soloing- Singers looking to improve their theory for choir- Singers wanting to get a grasp as to how vocal runs can be understood and sung with confidence- Composers wanting to improve their understanding of melody writing- Theorists wanting to improve their overall knowledge of solfègeSo whether you already use these scales within your compositions/performances, or if you just want to get started with them, this course has something to offer everyone! Is it the flashiest course I've created...no. Is it one of the most fundamentally important, for sure. To hear notes BEFORE you play them requires a deep understanding of theory and ear training, and that's what this course is meant to help you with. Use this course as a springboard into harder scales and a deeper understanding of solfège.Have fun with the material ahead and don't forget to apply the material to your own compositions, solos, and live performances.I'll catch you in the first class!
