| First off you need to know what is a scale and how it | | | | to play in the key of Ab, we will use the same formula |
| is formed. If you know that between every note it is | | | | and step down. So Ab would be the first key then we |
| considered a half step. So the formula for finding a | | | | go whole step to Bb then Whole step to C, Then half |
| major key to any scale is to go | | | | step to Db. Ok and from there we have whole step, |
| Whole step, whole step, half step, whole step, whole | | | | whole step, whole step, half step, and the rest of the |
| step, whole step, half step. | | | | notes in that key would be Ab, Bb, C, Db, Eb, F, G, Ab. |
| Now the scale you are in is what determines what | | | | Ok so that's the scale of Ab so now you should be |
| key the song is being played in. So using this formula if | | | | able to find the key that you are playing in or the scale |
| we are going to play a song in the key of C major, the | | | | to any note on the piano. |
| scale would be C D E F G A B C . | | | | Once you learn the scale you are in then you can |
| There is no black notes in the C scale so you can use | | | | form chords off of each note in that scale. And once |
| that to remember the formula. Now to find how to | | | | you learn the formula for what order the chords flow |
| play the key of any song you just pick a note, any | | | | you will be playing songs. |
| note on the keyboard and go up using that formula | | | | And the order the chords flow is called chord |
| and that is the key, or the scale of the note you | | | | progressions. Every song is made of progressions and |
| picked. | | | | there are different kinds of chord progressions. |
| Ok lets try to find another key. If we want to find how | | | | |
