💡 LESSON TOPICS

♪ Any interval can be adjusted down by a half step and is then called “flat”
♪ We typically don’t think of having flatted 4ths or octaves
♪ RULE: Any interval that was called Major is called Minor when flatted
♪ Minor intervals include: minor 2nd, minor 3rd, minor 6th, minor 7th
♪ Remember, only Major intervals can turn into Minor ones; there’s no such thing as a “minor 4th” or a “minor 5th!”
♪ Homework: Learn these shapes!

🧑 ABOUT ME
My name is Alex, and my passion is teaching music online. I’m a bass player and composer by training and trade, but what I really love to do is teach. I make my living teaching private lessons on Bass, Guitar, Piano, and Ukulele. My favorite thing to teach is theory - helping the students understand the “why” behind the music and empowering them to make better and more informed musical choices. I’m very adamant about teaching technique. This is how you gain power and control over your instrument and ultimately raise the ceiling on where your limits are and where they will be in the future.

I appreciate you participating in learning music with me, either for free through my videos or in private lessons in my virtual studio. Players of all abilities and backgrounds are welcome! There’s no music lesson I don’t love.
