Scale Degrees are Sounds and Numbers

Video Transcript

One minute scalar of practice with Ari.
Practice the scale, and say the scale degrees, and then cement those sound relationships to the root by playing the root in between every single note, like this: C mixolydian.

[🎵🎵🎵 Ari plays scale 🎵🎵🎵}

Say the scale degrees: 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 – 6 – b7 – root. Now cement those sound relationships with the root by playing the root in between every single scale degree. Major 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, major 6th, flat 7th, root. These are sounds. These numbers are sounds. You can also relate them to the top root, and then all the intervals invert – what used to be the minor 7th now becomes the major 2nd… minor 3rd, 4th, 5th, minor 6th, minor 7th, root.
