Part 3/7:
Next, the instructor defines scales as sequences of notes that fill an octave. The example of the C major scale is illustrated, following a specific formula: Whole-Whole-Half-Whole-Whole-Whole-Half. This pattern can be applied to create major scales starting on any note. Conversely, constructing a minor scale requires a different formula: Whole-Half-Whole-Whole-Half-Whole-Whole. The instructor humorously notes the emotional impact of scales, championing minor scales as being filled with “sadness”.
