Clefs made easy :)
This is a super quick intro to some mnemonic devices for reading music in treble, bass, alto, and tenor clef! Along with an example of percussion clef and tablature :)

Polychords are multiple chords stacked on top of each other. This video explains how to notate and understand them :)
What actually ARE major and minor scales?!
Просмотров 196Месяц назад
In this video we figure out what major and natural minor scales are, how to find them and how to switch between the two! If you don't already know, a capital M is shorthand for major and a lower case m is shorthand for minor. Let me know if you have any questions :)
WHAT are time signatures?!

In this vid we go through how to count different time signatures and what they actually mean! You can download my cheat sheet with all the time signatures we go through from my website here: www.ositamusic.com/mara-mae-music As always, let me know if you have any questions! Happy counting :)
WHY do we make choices in music?!
Просмотров 2302 месяца назад
In this video we TRY to answer the question "What do I do next??" in music! There's no straight forward answer, but here we look at three approaches: what sounds good, what's technically correct in a music theory context, and what the music is trying to express. :)

Thing is, though that most of this can be explained in one chord. EG: B maj on C maj = C Maj7 #9 #11. But finding them by superimposing the two chords is a good way to discover things more simply, and it might be the better way to indicate in a chord chart say in a lead sheet.
Very true! Polychords can absolutely be described as extended chords instead. Really, it's just another way of naming/notating them :) The other benefit of notating them as polychords, is you can be more explicit about voicings: like if you want an inversion in one of the chords, or you want them voiced as two separate chords in specific registers. And as you say, it can be a simpler way of understanding them so they're a bit less scary for less experienced musicians!
Where to find a webpage to see the chords in the roman-numeral-chord-notation?
Here's a link to the notation in the video :) static1.squarespace.com/static/5cde80d43da6ea0001fc9cf4/t/677db72a1e9a8b16f9279883/1736292138237/Roman+Numerals.png
Thank you for the great explanation. I love the editor notes. 😊
I'm so glad it was helpful! :)
RUclips algo got you to pop up randomly and I've subscribed. I am beginner at learning the piano. I have a bit of a guitar background (so know my chords). Anyway, thank you for these videos. Learning sheet music is hard, I find myself relying on the finger numbers lots, but I'm getting there I think.
That's brilliant! Let me know if you have any questions or topics you'd like a video on too! It takes time to feel like you're properly on top of this stuff, I'm sure you're getting there :)
Edit: I didn't watch the whole video so I didn't notice. Sorry! Nice video, why is this not popular? Also, you missed the longa, which lasts 16 crotchets.
Haha that's okay! Thanks for your comment, I ended up deciding to tackle the more common ones first then add the wild ones :)
Very good explanation and a well produced video! When notating the polychords as you do here, how can you differentiate it from just normal inverted chords where the lower half is simply just a single bass note? (i.e. C/G being a C in 2nd inversion)
my thought exactly
Great question! If you don't have the exact notes on the stave and are just using chord symbols, the easiest way to differentiate them is by notating the polychord more like a fraction. So if the chord symbols are side by side separated by a forward slash it's an inversion, BUT if they're on top of each other it's a polychord! Here's an image to clarify as well :) static1.squarespace.com/static/5cde80d43da6ea0001fc9cf4/t/676c7ed76334f7105865bace/1735163647154/Polychords%2FInversions Let me know if that's not clear!
@@maramaemusic Ah, that makes sense, thank you!
A classically trained musician is likely to know that as a 6/4 chord (G to C is the 4, G to E the 6) but you'll never see that in on a lead sheet that indicates the chord on guitar, assumes too much knowledge.
Love this song! It;s so weird listening to it through an analytical lens.
It's such a good song!!
This video was really helpful. Thanks!
That's brilliant! So glad it was useful :)
THANK YOU! Time signatures do my head in but this has really helped. Keep it up!
Thank you so much, really happy to hear it helped!!
Interesting and some pertinent points. I think having a distinct objective at the outset is essential. Learn a piece, learn a scale, learn a song, write a song based on a specific idea. I improvise and often find myself noodling for a long time over a chord progression and because my noodling is not attached to an objective then the noodling produces nothing of value. Better to choose a song (which I have oriented myself to do more often than just noodling of nothing substantial.)
It's an easy hole to get stuck in: infinite noodling!! I completely agree that sometimes you just can't get anywhere without a clear objective. Thank you for sharing your thoughts :)
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful breakdown and I love your editing style!
Thank you so much!! :)
Cool, keep it up ✌️
Thank you!!
I found it pretty interesting but very hard to follow along... Mainly because there was no visual representation of the Dmaj scale on the video :(. I'll keep on following these vids but it'd be cool if details like that could be added 😅
That's really helpful!! Thank you for pointing that out, and I'll do my best to make that stuff really clear in the next videos :)
Thanks mara this reslly helpeddd💗💗
Brilliant! ❤️
Pretty cool! Cheers from Brazil!
Thank you! :)
keep going girl, big hugs from russia
Thanks so much!! :)
Oooo this seem like fun!! Love the shade of wood on ya bass!!
Carol Kaye exercises are just the beeeest! That bass plays like a dream as well!!
This is a really well made video with a lot of good, easy-to-understand information. My only suggestion is that you play the examples as you explain them instead of waiting until the end. This gives people who are new to this stuff some musical context as opposed to just the visual as you explain things. In this case, in addition to playing the examples, you could have played the individual notes as they went through the line cliche. That would help people train their ears while learning what they’re listening to.
That's a great thought, thank you so much for the suggestion! I'll definitely take that on for future videos :)
