Mr. Ray's Music Class
Добавлен 28 мар 2020
Hi, I'm Mr. Ray, and I'm a band director/music teacher living in Oklahoma. Before teaching, I worked as a professional musician for over two decades, playing thousands of gigs all over the U.S. I've also taught private lessons along the way, so it was a ♮ transition into teaching at a public school. I want you to learn the exciting aspects of music that intrigued me when I was a beginning musician. And I want you to share some of your musical wisdom with me too! Now go practice!
12 Tones to Rule Them All - The Chromatic Scale
The 12-tone chromatic scale is the basis of all music! After you watch this video (and my previous videos) you should be able to learn any scale you want to learn.

The Most Important Music Lesson E-V-E-R - The Harmonic Series

Before you practice even a major scale, you should know how and why the harmonic series made you WANT to play a major scale. Pythagoras discovered consonant intervals and used them to introduce both the major scale and the chromatic scale that we use today.

The Frozen movies have amazing music, and today we're going to use examples from the movies to train our ears to recognize musical intervals from the major scale. Fast-Forward to 8:00 to get straight to the Frozen examples.
Physics of Musical Instruments

Hi, music students, and welcome to Mr. Ray's Music Class! Today we learn about the science of musical instruments and what makes them work. We'll explore the physics of vibrations through different instrumental families and we'll learn some scientific measurements we can take of musical instruments.
Physics of Sound and Sound Waves

Hi everyone, it's Mr. Ray! Today we talk about the physics of music centering on the idea of visualizing sound waves. Sound is a vibration, and every music student should have a grasp of how sound is made. Watch this PBS Crash Course for a more in-depth look at the physics of music: ruclips.net/video/XDsk6tZX55g/видео.html
I personally think that not knowing what the harmonic series is or what just intonation intervals sound like is a big part of why so many people struggle with ear training. Without this knowledge they don't even know what they should be listening for.
Why do we say, this song (melody) is in A minor (just an example). Why can't you play that song let's say in D minor. You can, but musicians will say, it is not going to be as pleasant as original. Why not? If the frequency interval in between the notes stays the same, then why not? It is just that you will have a different starting point (reference point). The frequency intervals up and down going any number of keys , any scale will stay the same, does not matter which key you start from. And it is the manipulation of those frequency intervals in the time frame, that we perceive as melody. So melody should stay exactly the same. Isn't it? Of course pitch will slightly be different. And interestingly, we do not question the originality of a melody when we start from a different octave, as long as the reference point stays the same. That means you can start from A5, or A6 instead of A4. So doubling the frequency or quadrupling the frequency of the reference point is considered 100% right; but it is not considered accurate if the frequency of the new point is not the multiple of 2 (in terms of original key). Why not? If a melody played in the range 220Hz .....440 Hz is same as the melody played between 440Hz...880Hz, why is it not exactly the same as the melody played in the range from 392Hz.....784 (783.99) Hz. This is the G4-G5 range. Bottomline is, doubling the frequency is Ok, but choosing something less or more than the double is not Ok, even though you follow the same rules/intervals of melody. WHY ?
I don't know what you're talking. Musicians regularly transpose from one key to another all the time. Nobody would say you can't play a song in A minor in D minor.
@@sameash3153 i think you did not get what i said. Anyways, thanks for your response.
@@sartajbhullar3782 No, I didn't.
this video saved me! you deserve way more attention for this
Super one....Sir, please help me to get the easy formula to calculate the distance of certain finguring hole from blowing hole in a PVC flute closed at one end with a rubber cork...I have tried and failed many times.
I said screw you cause you’re so right! I’ll practice! Great vid! I’m hot and bothered to make that whose trumpet at the end
lmaoo who doin this for hw
