People ask me a lot of questions about music, but the hardest ones aren't the ones you'd expect. Dealing with complex musical structures can be tricky, sure, but some of the most challenging questions I've ever been posed were ones that pushed me to re-examine things I'd always taken for granted. In a recent episode of my podcast, I had to figure out how to explain major scale to someone with zero pre-existing musical knowledge, and I found the exercise so interesting that I decided to make a whole video about it!
