To be a successful musician, one must acquire
a strong set of aural skills.
<Effect—Pull image up from bottom>
<Image: http://pixabay.com/en/closeup-communication-deaf-ear-18753/>
Aural skills are basically skills in which your
ears do the work.
<Effect—Dissolve to image>

The most important skills include being able to
identify notes, intervals, and scales just by
hearing them.

Very few people can identify specific notes just
by hearing them. Those who can are said to
have “perfect pitch.”

Even if you do not have perfect pitch, however,
you can easily learn to recognize intervals by
how they sound.

And once you can identify intervals, it is easy to
identify scales.

A scale is simply a set of notes with a particular
pattern of intervals between them.

There are numerous types of scales, but the
most commonly used are major and minor
scales.

In this lesson we will focus on major scales. The
easiest way to sing a major scale is using
solfège (pronounced \säl-ˈfezh\) syllables.
<Effect—Dissolve to image>

Solfège syllables are short words that are used
to represent notes within a scale, rather than
using a particular pitch.

If you have ever seen “The Sound of Music,”
you will have heard the solfège for a major
scale before.
<Effect—Fade to image>
In that music, there is a clever song that can
<Image:

help you remember the solfège syllables.
<Effect—Display image at close

<Image:

If you can find a recording of this song, called
“Do-Re-Mi,” (pronounced ‘doe-ray-me’) it will
help you learn these syllables quickly.
<Effect—Dissolve to image>

The first solfège syllable in a major scale is Do.
<Effect—Move image from previous
frame toward bottom, then drop in a
duplicate image to sit on top of it>
Since a scale takes us through one octave and
ends on the same note as it begins with, we will
always end with do as well.
<Effect—Move image across left to
right>
<Image: http://pixabay.com/en/notemusic-symbol-eighth-black-159509/>
The next solfège syllable is re. The third is mi.
<Effect—Fade to image>
<Image:
http://pixabay.com/en/singer-singconcert-microphone-495544/ >
The fourth solfège syllable is fa and the fifth is
sol.
<Effect—drop image in from top>
<Image: http://pixabay.com/en/teeservice-earl-gray-teacup-419320/ >
The sixth solfège syllable is la and the seventh
is ti (pronounced “tee”).

Again, the eighth and final solfège syllable in a
major scale is do.

Now that you know the syllables, you also need
to know what each note in the major scale
sounds like.

Since we are not beginning our scale on any
particular pitch, we use intervals to tell us the
relation between one note and the next.
<Effect—Drop image in from top>
<Image:

The interval is the difference in pitch between
two notes.

There are three types of intervals: major, minor,
and perfect. There are seven intervals in a
major scale
<Effect—Display image at wide

<Image:
All fourth and fifth intervals are called perfect,
because they are considered neither major nor
minor.

An octave is also considered a perfect interval.

Second, third, sixth, and seventh intervals can
be major or minor. In the major scale they will
all be major intervals.
<Effect—Pull image up from bottom>

So what do each of these intervals sound like?
Here are some songs to help you out.

If you don’t know each song, look for a
performance on a public internet site, such as
Youtube.

The first interval in a major scale is a major
second. It sounds like the interval between the
first two notes in “Happy Birthday.”
<Effect—Move image across left to
right>
<Image:

Next is a major third. This sounds like the
interval between the first two notes in “Oh When
the Saints Go Marching In.”
<Effect—Dissolve to image>
<Image: http://pixabay.com/en/bridebouquet-of-flowers-roses-girl428105/>
Then comes a perfect fourth interval. It sounds
like the first two notes in the chorus of “Here
Comes the Bride.”
<Effect—Drop image in from top>

Next, a perfect fifth sounds like the interval
between the first two notes of the “Star Wars”
theme.

The major sixth and seventh intervals are a little
bit harder.

A major sixth sounds like the interval between
the words “way” and “up” in “Somewhere Over
the Rainbow.” It also sounds like the first two
notes in the NBC theme.

A major seventh is the interval between the
words “in” and “world” in the song “Pure
Imagination” from “Willy Wonka and the
Chocolate Factory.”
<Effect—Dissolve to image>
<Image:
You will have to ignore the word “a” in between
those. Try listening to the song and practice
http://pixabay.com/en/earphonesblue-sound-glamour-477446/>
singing just the words “in” and “world” a few
times.”

Finally, we are back to Do—a full octave. The
best example is in the first two words in
“Somewhere Over the Rainbow.”

Now you know the intervals that make up a
major scale and the solfège syllable for each
note.

Soon, you should be able to sing a major scale
on your own using solfège syllables.
