đThis video is a revised re-upload. I originally uploaded this video in April 2022, but soon realised from the reaction in the comments that I had skimmed over a lot of detail when it came to the major scale and the tones and semitones. This was causing confusion for many viewers so I've now decided to replace that video with this new, updated version. I'm much happier with the explaination in this video. Sorry again for any confusion caused by the original edition. You can still view the original version if you like here:    â˘Â Why are there no black notes in these... Â

The bigger question is why did they start with "C". Why not have the white key major scale start with "A". That would make more sense....

Our choir learned to sing quartertones, bright or dark for each chord.
This is extremely tough and takes a lot of practice and a great ear.
But the effect is impressive

It wasn't until I started singing choir music that I really appreciated how the voice is the instrument standard notation is optimized for. It really makes it easy to sight-sing major, minor and modal music.

As a guitarist, I think showing the guitar fretboard would help illuminate this question. The keyboard-oriented labelling of the Major scale obscures the fact that It is blindingly obvious on a fretboard that there just isn't a semitone between B & C, and between E & F.
At age 15 or so in the mid-Sixties I taught myself to play guitar by ear and with tablature and never learned to read sheet music. To me, the question initially appeared the other way around: "Why have these musical theorists assigned letters to some notes on the fretboard, but not others?"

As someone who is just recently starting to learn the keyboard, the layout actually really helped me memorize the notes. I tinker around in E Major a lot and so I always know where E is, two keys to the left of the group of three black keys. The slight variance on the pattern with black keys is just enough to give every note itâs own little distinctive spot, regardless of what octave youâre in. (Which is also easy to tell just by looking at that pattern)
If it were a perfectly symmetrical layout, either with those black keys added in or with just white keys, itâd be a lot harder to tell where youâre at, especially as a beginner. But as is, itâs akin to having little landmarks to go off of when youâre getting directions.
Seems like it wasnât even done purposefully but when I realized how much it was helping me I began to really appreciate the design of modern keyboards.

David, you are sent from God to explain to us non musical all the questions that confused us in primary school.

David, I just discovered your channel And I am highly impressed at how informative and educational your videos are!

Writing B sharp also preserves the chord (or melody) shape on the staff, making it easier to read and remember once you get to the point you're reading several bars ahead of where you're playing.

What an incredibly easy way to understand what you said, well done! This has been explained to me over and over, but because I have so little understanding of music and music theory, I never understood any of this. I'll have to go through this a couple of times, because you showed me things I didn't know that I didn't know.

The question that sticks in my mind is how the seven notes in the scale even got to be in the first place. Going by perfect intervals, a 12-tone system emerges clear as day, but I've always wondered why the white notes begin and end where they do on the circle of fifths.

Brilliant, as always! Your videos are educational and very well explained!

David, this was an excellent tutorial and, for me, answered questions which I struggled to even articulate. Thanks for the history and insights.

Just one comment: The more important reason why to use a B-sharp in the Moonglight Sonata example rather than to avoid a "mass of accidentals" by alternating C-sharp and C-natural comes from harmony: the dominant chord in C-sharp harmonic minor key HAS TO BE a G-sharp major chord (G-sharp B-sharp D-sharp) in order to keep the logical major triad shape of the chord.

I found myself coming back to this video and am so glad the short explanation is dealt with right away.

This made things very clear, thank you. With regard to 12 tone equal temperament, and the impracticality of just intonation tuning on the fly for pianos, please consider talking about hermode (dynamic) tuning for synths. I see it in my digital audio workstation but don't really understand it and am curious about it.

Thanks for the video.
History is always so important to put things in perspective and help us get the actual meaning of things. Everything is always in a context.

This is the best video covering everything I was missing in music ⤠Thank you đđť

Great Instruction again Dave.
Wonderful Channel

I learned something important, thank you. The examples was perfect for this, it was clear to me which one was the odd one out.
