- Scales provide a basic vocabulary for what notes are available in specific musical situations. Even more important is knowing what those scales sound like. Use this video to learn how to instantly recognize 21 of the most useful scales by ear. It’s time to work on your scale skills, or as I call them: scills. It’s skills, but with a c. Scills. What am I doing with my life? I hope nobody reads this.

That was immense... I think even more taxing on the mind than the other ear training lessons I've had from here so far! Kudos and thanks for the tremendous amount of hard work put in!
Glad you found it useful! I weirdly found this video to be way easier than intervals or chords, but that’s probably because I’m a piano teacher who teaches scales several hours a day.
By the way- I know that it’s “The Sound of Silence”, not “Song of Silence”. I’m only about 75% in control of the words that come out of my mouth sometimes.
This is super helpful!!! I was struggling to hear the types of scales, but this video helped me understand and really hear the differences.
Thank you!!
Glad it helped!
Your channel is the best!j Thank you!
Okay that sequence of ‘there are no wrong notes in music’ made me cackle 🤣 and subscribe 🙌🏻thank you !
Thanks for subscribing! I worked super hard on that song, clicking random notes.
Thanks for your channel, I have learned a lot with your ear training videos, you continue doing a great job, God bless you brother
So glad you found my channel! Thanks for watching
iT is sooo helping Sir , Thankyou So Much.
This was a great workout! Very informative! Best ear training I ever had! 🎉 😂
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastic lessons !
Thanks! 😃
Excellent ! It is impressively well done ! Thanks a lot !
Thanks so much! I spent more time on this video than anything I had created previously, so glad to hear it’s working!
@@joeluegersmusicacademy Sure, it should have been a lot of work for a so nicely structured bunch of exercises. Amazing work really 👍👏

Scale?
Upscaleutely! @@joeluegersmusicacademy
da fuq?
thank you so much ❤
thank you its just so great
Thanks for watching!!
Very good
I like this video 🎉🎉thank you.
Thanks for watching!
This is GREAT! I'll be working on this one! Thanx!! 😂
Thanks!
LOL ! Love the memorization directive::D
Great job, thanks for the work! To me there has always been an issue between the pure melodic minor (#6 and #7 ascending and natural 6 and 7 descending) and the (jazz) melodic minor which just has the raised 6 and 7 ascending and descending.
Thanks! When I learned piano I played the version that is different ascending vs descending, but haven’t found it all that useful when it comes to improvising. It’s more of a good way to visualize the available notes across multiple minor settings.
maybe helpful for many: the modes dorian, phrygian, lydian and mixolydian are all major scales starting on different steps; e.g. dorian is just d to d all white keys up, just like major from c to c. phrygian from e to e, lydian from f to f and mixolydian from g to g.
so d dorian is just d e f g a b c d. much easier to remember than all those flats
Yes. I think the best way to understand scales is to realize they are all just starting and ending on different degrees of the major scale. On the other hand, I think the better way to identify them by ear is to learn which scale degrees different from the major scale construction. What I mean is that it is easier for me to think “Lydian sounds like major with a sharp 4” than “Lydian sounds like I started on the 4th degree of the major scale and went up and down the octave.” I have a video specifically on modes. czcams.com/video/2J8MqYQZ3XE/video.htmlsi=vgbG7Xre9lsXcKm7
Your videos are very helpful and easy to do while driving. I wish there were more on rhythm. The ones you have seem like they would be difficult for beginners. They would benefit from having the count visible and/or a quarter note pulse running throughout. Just a thought. I'm a music teacher and use your videos in class. Thank you!
Thanks for using my videos! I’m actually starting a new rhythm series soon where each lesson adds one new type of note/rest and then takes you through three exercises. Should be ready in about a month, but you can preview an early edition of the first lesson here: How to Count Quarter Notes and Quarter Rests - RTVG Level 1

Awesome video, would you be able to add maybe the chord/chords that can be played with each scale with a diagram?
Great idea- I’ll add that to my notes for the next one.
Can you make a video with all the turkish makams (scales) please 😮
I will immediately investigate the 'enigmatic scale' :D
On a real note tho thank you so much for these videos, otherwise people would have to pay hundreds for instrument lessons probably not learning anything for months
True! I’ve taught private lessons for a long time, and honestly students who are self motivated and put in deliberate practice on their own make progress 100 times faster than students who sit around and wait for me to correct all their mistakes.
I have a suggestion for a future video, can you make a video on practical interval distinguishing where you break down the intervals on some pieces of music (e.g. moonlight sonata, river flows in you) to help us better comprehend intervals in action? Resurrect the interval series...?? I'm almost sure you've thought of this already, but it would be very useful for me to be taught how to hear intervals practically. This question seems a little circular, but I want to know what you think.
For sure! There’s been a lot of demand for me to continue the interval series, so when I’m done making the two videos I’m working I plan to get to work on it. One of the issues with tune recognition is that it is tied with scale degrees, and if you hear that same interval between different scale degrees it can sound totally different. I’m developing a method that I call the “invisible tonic” that I plan on making a video about.
Also- for the time being, check out the channel “David Bennett Piano”. He has some amazing videos exactly like what you’re talking about.
The way I learned the melodic minor on the piano is that the sith and seventh scale degrees were raised ascending and those degrees were lowered descending.
Typo: sixth
Yes, that’s the more classical approach. Jazz musicians tend to use the melodic minor scale as is in both directions, and I chose to play it this way otherwise you would never get to hear it descending.
I got lvl 1, 2, 3 and 4 right on first try!
Thank you for your great and helpful content!
That's a Subscribe from me! :)
Edit: Got lvl 1-5 right first try, besides one minor (pun intended!) error in lvl 5!
That’s great! Thanks for subscribing. Telling scales apart is just a matter of memorizing the formulas and listening for the half steps. I just made a half steps vs half steps video, which might help if you find some of the later levels difficult: czcams.com/video/WLRVx_INMf0/video.htmlsi=k5ZCVDvCiua7x88V
Lol lol lol 🎵"there are no wrong notes..."🎵
The great thing is that you can sing along with any notes you want.
I don’t mean to sound rude, but I thought melodic minor on the descent, went back to natural minor - Fi and Si go back to Fa and Sol.
That’s how I learned it too, but I’ve discovered that a more modern approach is to use it for improvising and not revert to a regular minor scale when descending. I figured I would use that version, because doing it different in each direction would almost make identifying it too easy.
Melodic minor really should be the same in both directions!
@@mistershaf9648It depends. In a traditional, European-centric course, yes. If you’re improvising, it’s more practical to keep it the same.
It's so hard to learn 😭 . I can't even fully learn intervals. Sometimes I also fail to distinguish between the minor & major third...music is so tough man. P.s- I'm 21 years old. Maybe it's too late to develop a good ear now😢.
NO! i'm 21 too, and i've always thought those stuff are too hard. Its true, they are, but you gotta start small. Go search The easier videos of this Channel, Go back to square one, and start again! Do it over and over, and then, one day, it'll be easier. Its also good to remember that its a long journey to get to distinguish intervals. I got beaten by them a Lot, but its easier now. Scales are harder!
do not give up yet!!
It’s not worth worrying about if it’s too late. There is a sensitive time for the brain to soak up information when we are very young, but most of us aren’t fortunate enough to be in Suzuki violin programs when we’re 4 years old. So, for most musicians it’s a very gradual process. I’m a much better musician now at 33 than I was at 21, and a lot of the improvements came in the last 2-3 years.
@@bruno-yw5dc thank you for your kind words. I guess I'll have to practice more, worry less and let my ear grasp what it can and I'm sure I'll see some improvement someday lol😜.
@@joeluegersmusicacademy Thanks. I know any art takes time especially something as creative as music 🎶. Let's just not give up. I am sure I'll see some improvement in future. Your playlists are amazing btw. I learnt a lot from them. ✨
It was good but I felt like I was zoning out after 12 minutes and not answering the questions. It was more like I was listening to the scales and for some reason understanding the scales
Scales are the bedrock, are they not ?
