The problem with using the term 'tone' (or semitone) to explain an interval is that a tone is fully defined by just a single note, i.e.a tone is a pitch. An interval requires two notes (two tones) to define it so better to use the term 'step' (whole step and half step) when talking about intervals - a whole step or a half step. Use single letters W and H ( or h) it's clearer than using T and ST, A sequence like T T ST T looks like there are 5 notes rather than the intended 4. Hearing him say -F# to G is a semitone rather than a tone- just grates with me. Don't use 'tone' or semitone' to explain the concept of a trajectory from one tone to another tone (one note to another note). Use 'step' to convey that concept of trajectory.

I really enjoyed it, I started playing the piano 3 years ago, but just by playing the notes, I also know where the notes are on the piano, so it's simple for me, but I can't read the scores nor the theory of music, my plan is to learn until April, because my parents want to give me a violin, you speak well and this is the only video I could learn well, thank you very much.
I'm from Brazil, I will do my best, muito obrigada pelos videos!

I haven't seen any video lesson on teaching scale sequencing patterns that were used by classical violinist like playing a major scale in 3rds, 4ths, etc or playing a major scale going up 3 notes move back down one note and got up 3 notes, these types of scale sequencing patterns were used often in violinist playing scales. Can you make a video lesson teaching about these scale sequencing patterns that were used in the classical periods?

You only went over it for a second - but one critical thing I picked up on is why you would choose between C- and D-. While they are the same thing, your approach just made sense to me - -you are needing to change the C, so you wouldn't say D-, you would say C-.- Love it. I will absolutely be looking into your website for paid courses.

In America, we talk about whole steps and half steps, so the pattern for major scales is whole, whole, half, whole, whole, whole, half, or WWHWWWH.

Why was B flat written on a bass clef stave and the E flat on a treble clef stave? If it's for variety, then your variety has left me confused.

Your a little slow for me so I just put your video at 1.50 speed. Nothing wrong, I'm just a faster learner. Great tutorial though for others. Thx
