Crash Course In Theory

This course is presented in six lessons. Children 8-10 years old participate.

All of them, when they were 4 years old, took lessons as part of the preparatory group. They are in the second year of studying theory.

All receive one-on-one piano lessons.

Interval Inversions

We have discussed the topic of intervals in detail in the "preparatory group" section.

In the video below, "ipukh" means "turnover."

Chords

A CHORD is three note sounds. Three notes, taking every other note - TRIAD. There are four triads:

  • major (joyful)

  • minor (sad)

  • diminished (double minor, compressed)

  • augmented (double major, like a bright flash).

Seventh chords

Four sounds taken by choosing every other one make a 7th CHORD.
