Reading Eb Major Scale & Playing in C Major

Video Transcript

So now we've read it in a different key. We're going to be taking it even a notch further. We're going to go and read something in a different key and play it in C. So this is in E-major, and now E starts here on the third line. And though even where we have this E-major scale or E-major key signature here, we're just going to ignore that and make this one and make that C. And now we can play the same thing but we're reading in a different key. One, five, six, five, six, five, four, three, two, three, four, three, three, one, one, flat-three, two, one, seven, six, five, (makes musical sounds). A little bit of a different ending here, but you get the point. So now if you look at my hands, even though I just read in E, and I just used the same pattern. Notice how the pattern looks very similar to our pattern in C-major. Although C-major is a couple notches down, we just read the same pattern and we read all the different intervals that run under fingers so easy. And we just pretended like we were in C. It's that easy. So if you read by pattern, it makes life that much easier and we're going to use this technique as we go through and read our advanced, too.
