Hey guys, I am new to music learning and I have stumbled upon this clip of Ravi Shankar, taken I believe from this longer video and have been marveled by how easy he makes learning musical notes sound like, and I would like to know more about the notes he uses. Is there a name to that scale?
I love music but am as tone deaf as they come, and have at times tried to change that to no success. Lately I have downloaded an app called Functional Ear Trainer to give it another try. And I am wondering whether there is any good material out there that uses the system Ravi uses to teach it to people, ideally in the same vein as the app I linked.
Also, I am confused by what music notes are. How come there are more than one set of notes? And does it mean you can't get certain sounds in the Do, Re, Mi... scale that you can in the scale Ravi uses (and vice versa)? Are there other musical scales other than these, and if so what does it mean?
Sorry if I ask this in the wrong sub, if there is a better one to post this in, please lmk.
