In the last lesson, you learned what notes are, that as we play each note, A B C D E F G the sound that is played gradually rises in frequency or pitch and that choosing the “right” notes for a melody is done easily by using “scales” or “keys!”

You also learned that the keynote is the first musical note in any given scale and the patterns behind every major and minor scale in western music! You may have memorized K23 and K122 or KWWHWWWH and KWHWWHWW but one way or another you now have a great foundation for picking the right sounds to make inspiring melodies without choosing random keys on the piano and hoping it sounds right!

Today we are going to build off that knowledge by teaching you how to hopscotch or parkour your way through scales to create melodies known as arpeggios and chords and finish it all off with a Hands-On Demonstration!
