In this lesson, our instructor Laura Ryan gives an introduction to music theory. She gives an overview of the grand staff, major scales, and minor scales before discussing the names of white and black keys. She concludes the video with chords, chord progressions, and examples of each concept covered in the lesson.
The grand staff is made of both Treble and Bass clefs.
When reading notes separately from left to right, they are played in succession.
When reading notes stacked vertically on top of one another, they are played simultaneously.
One can use simple chord progressions and only a few notes to create catchy and memorable tunes.
