Hi everybody!
We hope you had a great half term. Doesn't it just speed on by! š¹ So let's continue with our musical journey and learn about the A scale and A chord.
šµLast week we looked at how to construct a scale. If you play one key at a time, this is called a scale.
šµFor the A scale we start by finding A on the keyboard. A can be found two keys below middle C.
šµIf we play 7 more keys, we go up to the next A.
šµNow let's play A, B, C#, D, E F#, G#, A. This is the A scale!
šµHave you noticed that this week there are not two, but three funny symbols? šRemember these are called Sharp keys. They are the BLACK keys on the right of the C, F and G called C sharp, F sharp and G sharp. š¬ Now watch Alex and see how he plays the A scale and the A chord! Can you tell the difference from the A chord and A scale š¶š¶
For the chords please look at this week's Funsheet. The 3 notes stacked right next to the treble clef š¼ form the A chord. Give it a go and play the chord. It can be tricky, but do not give up! Practise makes perfect
š¹ Oh and before we go, please let us remind you not to forget about last week's D and G chords! You'll need D, A and G chords to play our 'Little Bee Blue song.'
Have fun practising
Lots of love Fun-Keys šµšš¹
