And what do you know? JumpingJackFlash actually pointed out the same thing in your KVR thread funken!Machinesworking wrote: Your starting point on your site for theory is based on the A minor scale.A minor scale is simply not what contemporary theory is based on. I mean you literally start people down the wrong path from the get go.All the white notes form the scale A minor. This is our starting point for all the major and natural minor scales.
I'm not having a go at you, I'm a total noob at theory yet I know that the starting point for beginners is and always will be the C Major scale. The Major scale is what beginning music theory tutorials are based on, and to suggest otherwise will cause problems later on down the road. For the simplest explanation as to why this is true, when learning other scales the Major scale is mostly always the reference. We went over all the basics before even approaching Minor scales in the class I'm taking. This also applied in school when learning theory as a kid, the C major scale was the starting point.
I also see that jancivil indeed had a go at you.
