[PLAYING PIANO]
Now comes time for the interval part of our lesson.
And the two intervals we're going to focus on today
is the major sixth and the major 7, the major sixth and the major 7.
First the major sixth.
Start on C. And then we go up to the sixth degree of the scale, which
is A-- (SINGING) La, la.
Can you sing that with me?
I'm going to have the Berklee students sing along with us.
Ready?
(SINGING) La, la.
Very nicely.
Let's do it again.
(SINGING) La la.
Now this time I want you to repeat after me.
(SINGING) La, la, major 6.
(SINGING) La la major 6.
[ASCENDING SCALE]
(SINGING) La, la, major 6.
(SINGING) La la, major 6.
(SINGING) La, la, major 6.
(SINGING) La la, major 6.
[DESCENDING SCALE]
(SINGING) la la, major 6.
(SINGING) La la, major 6.
Good job.
That's our major 6.
And one thing that helps me to remember intervals
is I'll think of a song that goes with that interval.
And a good song for that would be (SINGING) my Bonnie
lies over the ocean.
I don't know, it helps me. (SINGING) La la, la la, la la, la la la.
All right?
So that's your major sixth.
The next one is major 7.
This is probably a little bit more difficult,
probably the most difficult one we've done.
So start on a C. And we go up a seventh, to the seventh degree of the scale
and do it with B. Play the B. So C to B, (SINGING) la la, major seventh.
Can you sing that with me?
(SINGING) La la, major 7.
(SINGING) Again.
(SINGING) La la, major 7.
I'm going to play a chord with it, so it sounds
like we're more playing it in context.
We ready guys?
La?
(SINGING) La la, major 7.
Again.
(SINGING) La la, major 7.
Cool.
That is the major 7.
If I played this note-- (SINGING) la-- let's see if we can sing the major 7.
Ready?
Here we go.
One, two.
(SINGING) La la, major 7.
Good job.
Let's try this one.
(SINGING) La la, major 7.
Good job.
Now what we're going to do, is we're going to do a short quiz.
OK?
I'm going to play say, six different intervals.
They'll either be major 6 or major 7.
Here's the first one.
[PLAYS INTERVAL]
Here it is again.
