(Music Theory for Beginners)
(Music Playing - Original Tune composed by Sampath)
Hi, My name is Sam Dhanasekaran and welcome to this video series. In this video
let us explore some Music Theory.
Let us take a look at Octaves? What is an Octave? A Piano looks like this.
Here you can notice that a set of Piano Keys repeat. For example if I start from here
I see three white piano keys
housing two black piano keys in between.
Then
four more white piano keys surrounding a new set of three black piano keys.
That would be seven white piano keys with five black piano keys in between. A total of
12 piano keys. Now if I
move along to the right
we can also see
another set of 12 piano keys
arranged in the same pattern
 
so each pattern is a set.
Right? And each set is called as an Octave.
So how many octaves can you see here?
That would be One,
Two,
Three, Four.
Ok? So
that's what is an Octave.
