It’s excellent way of learning to play an instrument. i have just begun with the lessons n its exciting and its easy n simple to understand.
Great lesson. Just a minor thing (no pun intended) – at http://www.hearandplay.com/main/why-the-circle-of-fourths-is-so-important-when-learning-major-scales it is called the circle of fourths. Which makes sense to me as when we work counter clockwise, each scale starts at the fourth from the previous scale, flattening the 7th from that scale.
Am I making sense, or have I missed something?
Hi Polly,
Thanks for writing!
See this lesson on whether to call it circle of fourths or fifths:

All the best,
Jermaine
The scales (pun intended) lift from my eyes!
Thank you for clearing up the confusion. :)

where do I find information on you web sight about your 703 audio series “enhancing the left hand” and how much does it cost
Dear Mr.Jermaine.
Thanks for all the support given to me in learnig the basic free lessons. I wanna like to buy your 300 page course and like to know how much is the cost of it to deliver to my door via postal mail. Also like to know what are the items i will receive on buying your product or course of learning piano.
Waiting to hear from you at the earliest.
Thanks and regards

I love the free piano lesson. Please send the piano lessons every two weeks, I really appreciate the piano lessons. I am stuck on lesson four and I need to learn more about the Major Scales and the cirle of fifths. Thank you for your patients.
Dear Jeramine.
Thanks for all the suport you are rendering to me for learning the piano.
I would like to clear one thing about chords of the major scale. To play the chords of the major scale must we use the same scale notes of c major? or each scale have each chords? for example C Major scale is CDEFGABC. The chords are CMajor,Dminor,Eminor,FMajor, GMajor, Aminor,Bdiminished and finally CMajor. right?
In case of D Major scale will it be like this or i am mistaken? The D Major scale is DEF#GABC#D. So the chords will go this way or different way? DMajor, Eminor,F#minor,GMajor,AMajor,Bminor,C#diminished and finally Dmajor. Do please let me know if i am right or wrong. thanks a lot.

i’m sorry i really didn’t get that one, and do yuo have lessons on how to read sheet music”
Hhooo! this is wonderful. Your lessons are very helpful. Am learning a lot of concepts.
I better understand the theory of the circle now but didn’t get it till I read comments from Polly. If I couldn’t hear the sound of the progression, then I would apply the whole, half step theory but I can hear where the next key should be, so how does this help me? Or am I being my impatient self again? I’m looking forward or should I search for, more video lessons…I need to ‘see’ and ‘hear’. A lot of reading and makes me tired.
i dont think i completly understand this lesson . should i keep going on? and i agree with lily i want to learn how to read sheet music is this part of that?
ok my last comment was answered i kept reading on and yes lily it is teaching how to read sheet music the only thing is i dont understand the bottom part … is the top the c major scale and the bottom the f major? so thankful:))))
Wow, thanks so much for providing all this, Jermaine – very generous of you! I can see that it’s going to be very very helpful. :)
Great lesson; best so far (yet I’m sure there’s more to come) on understanding the concept of keys and scales and what it means to play in a key by starting and ending on a particular note. Priceless!
