Yes you would write from a mode. For instance, a lot of my counterpoint examples are in D Dorian. Just like in a minor scale, the 7th Degree is often raised in certain modes such as D Dorian. This technically would be the same as the melodic minor scale, but you do see this in Classical music in the context of the Dorian mode. They thought about music differently back then.

Not at all I took it as constructive criticism. I think I was trying to make my videos up to par with how the big RUclipsrs make their videos in terms of editing out blank space where there is no talking. I had to realize that my channel is not an entertainment channel but instead a pedagogical channel. Therefore I need to teach at a more natural pace so those listening can follow it better. I'm still learning how to make better videos so any feedback is great! Thanks again for the feedback!

Thanks for all of the comments you have left, I remember each one especially because of how small my channel is. Maybe we could zoom chat or something similar sometime and I could answer any questions you have.

@@jarodvmusic Sounds great. I haven't started doing counterpoint yet, and I have a hectic couple of weeks coming up. I'll contact you in October and we can get together... virtually.

@@lawrencetaylor4101 Okay sounds good!

Your welcome, I'm glad you like it!

Glad to hear this. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for the feedback, I will work on that.

agreed!!

I wish I owned it! it is on the bucket list.

Good idea!

I agree, but I have a few albums that have a terrible first song on the B side. So when I flip it I just skip that song. Makes the album listening experience much better.

That is great! Once you learn the basics and start to understand this more this will be a lot less intimidating. Check out this video by LivingPianosVideos I am sure you will enjoy it. ruclips.net/video/4pKlBkhIzHk/видео.html Robert explains a very important method of practice. I was also interrupted in life and that is why I have not posted much lately. Thanks for the comment!

I appreciate the good vibes bro!

Yes what you are saying makes perfect sense and I would say it is a yes and no. Sometimes it is important to beam the notes "correctly" so the players know when to play their part. The players are often counting the time when following the score when they are not playing so for them to be able to easily see the emphasized beats of the time is very important. Especially when players are randomly coming in and have complex melodies/ syncopation. Knowing when it is the appropriate time to do this will come with experience of writing for players and getting their feedback if it makes sense for them.

I would study scores of some of the big names. Mozart, Beethoven, Schuman, Brahms...ect You can listen to their pieces with the score (videos are on RUclips) and you can follow along as it plays and see how they score it. These traditions have been passed down for centuries so studying this will be like taking a composers Master Class. Furthermore, if you have a local symphony orchestra close to you I highly recommend going to see a symphony in person. As you are there you can follow the time signatures and also watch the instruments. With this you can see the different bowing styles of string instruments and other similar things in person.

Thank you! It looks like you found my other channel. If you are curious I post a lot of videos on here to teach people how to compose and read music.

You should still be able to see the lines dividing each song in good bright lighting, just like shown in this video.

Yeah sure

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I would recommend looking at the channel "Sonata, She Wrote" www.youtube.com/@sonatahewrote This guy does a really good job at showing the finer details of the Sonata and even developed a sort of formulaic way of analyzing it.

Thanks!

Very interesting. I feel like just like the telephone game in early grade school, the true story of the song went through a similar cycle. Getting further from the original every time.

I'm glad you liked it. Having a record player is great, it makes me want to listen to the entire album when I put one on. And with this it makes me want to reserve the album for a special time and really appreciate it.

thanks sir@@jarodvmusic

@@manuellastrollo2168 Yeah, glad to help! email me if you have Qs or are confused about things. javujo@gmail.com

Jarod V Electric is my channel name. It wont let me reply to the other comment

Thanks for the feedback! This was a quick score that served as something for me to analyze to improve upon. The problem is that I need to play more piano scores to learn how to write for it better. I do not quite remember why I scored it this way, I will reconsider better scoring for the instrument next time.

Actually I just remembered, I knew the player would play those with the right hand but wanted to emphasize that it was connected rhythmically to the bass melody. I guess I thought it would make it confusing for the player to put it in the right hand because when I score the chords that way it is because it has the same rhythm as the bass notes. If you don't mind me asking, in this scenario would it still be better to put those notes in the right hand?

Glad to help!

Haha yeah I find it pretty amusing. I post a ton of useful music theory vids but people freak out about this one video and disregard the rest. I agree, the point of the video was the title and nothing more. Thanks for the comment!

Like any sort of collectible; people can be passionate about it. Going towards an age of everything being digital, then having the chance to have physical copies of your favorite music outside of CDs and everything. It just feels more personal like you are collecting art. I’m not speaking for everyone, but it can give you some insight as to why people love vinyl lmao. I’m almost 30 and started a pretty good collection over the last 7 years. I’m interested to know what some of your hobbies are (besides the obvious when you click your profile)

@@SenorGooch Oh I understand 100% I have been collecting vinyl for the past 4 years. However some of these people are just going above and beyond insulting the guy because there’s dust on it. I’m also interested in cars I keep them spotless but when I see someone have a little dust on their dashboard I don’t attack them haha

Players arent cheap man

​@bautimeyer8301 neither are rolls Royce either and that's why you buy them

Thanks!!!

That is more of an opinion than fact. I do not hold those standards for my music. A song is a musical expression and does not need lyricism...

Great comment! Musical adaption is such a vital role of music. Glad you brought that up, I'll be sure to include that concept in some of my future videos.

Thank you, nailed it.

I agree, the Music Matters Channel is a literal goldmine of information. The lessons are taught in such a comprehendible way that sometimes I don't realize how complex the topic is because of how clear Gareth Green makes it all. That is true, there are not a lot of topics on RUclips with such a helpful and supportive comment section. Thanks for the feedback!!

Thanks for the feedback. Swing is a style of playing and is something that is more "felt" than understood to an exact degree. This video helps one understand the nature of swing but in real life the player would just "swing" the notes in the correct manner. The music is notated regularly (with directions to swing) but the player knows how to play it. The "feel" of the particular song being played would be translated to those note durations so the same swing "feel" would stay throughout the piece and be emphasized throughout whatever note duration. When bands are in sync with each-other it is often known as being "in the pocket." In this circumstance every player would "feel" the swing and know what to do at the proper moments.

Thanks bro! Your support means a lot to me 🙏

😄

I am glad you are making up the time! It is a great hobby. In middle school I stopped band because I thought it "wasn't cool." I was too young to realize the potential of it all. Thanks for the feedback!

I'm glad it helps! The triplet it very useful.

Glad to help. Good idea. Bach started more Tonal and developed more into Modal Counterpoint later on. So there is nothing wrong with learning either one first. I will say both are very helpful and Tonal Counterpoint really helps a lot with the small details and figuring out how to solve "musical problems." If you develop into Partimento and writing styles based around the "Common Practice Period" then all of the Tonal stuff basically gets thrown out the window and disregarded. However I personally still think knowledge of Tonal Harmony is very useful my only advice is don't focus on it too much. A lot of the Tonal ideas of Subdominant, Submediant and such often do not work outside of a classroom, real music is much more free and speaks to the creator. It is art.

@@jarodvmusic Thank you for the insightful reply. Partimento was something that confused me as well, as videos I came across didn't really explain or differentiate between counterpoint and partimento. So I just give up on making that my next subject to study in music theory and chose to go with counterpoint instead. I ended up buying two books since watching your video; "Tonal Counterpoint for the 21st Century Musician" by Teresa Davidian and "The Study of Counterpoint" by the legend Alfred Mann which translates material from Fux's original book on counterpoint. I'm currently studying the former aforementioned book. I'm enjoying it so far. I know it'll take a year or so (or even longer), but I'm fully committed. Thank you once again for making this video.

@@Dubb1000 Nice! I can see that you are serious about this. Yes Partimento is different than counterpoint, it is a playing style that allows you to improvise. But doing so the method teaches how to improvise with counterpoint with no mistakes. If you are curious about that just know that it is pretty advanced and it would be better to start by learning solmisation, the rule of the octave, then practice loads of figured bass exercises (easy to difficult) then after that you will be ready for Partimento. This is something that will take years. Those books sounds great! If you need any additional pointers my videos start from a modal basis but I am sure to throw in plenty of Tonal thinking in my videos and especially in my Counterpoint Response videos. I have a whole counterpoint playlist with videos explaining the topic and everything is in chronological order. ruclips.net/p/PL2ghy7M10WRWFOMCERCIeo66Zdr054nlU

@@jarodvmusic Partimento sounds like an amazing tool to have in one's arsenal, I'm going to attempt to study it along side counterpoint (if my mental bandwidth can handle it that is, LoL!) Thanks for explaining what partimento is by the way. I find it quite ironic that I watched several long videos on partimento and was still clueless on what it actually was, or how to implement it, but yet your two sentence explanation was so easy to understand. I'm going to do a bit of research on solmisation. I absolutely love the rule of the octave. I stumbled across a video made by Music Matters (RUclips channel) and am in love with the minor version of this device. I can play the minor version in every key in root position, but, I've been meaning to learn the other two positions. I'm very familiar with figured bass, although I've not tried playing an exercise with just a melody and the figured bass written below the staff, so I'll be sure to implement that in conjunction with my counterpoint studies. Thank you so much for these great tips. Honestly, I was going to study counterpoint in isolation, like I did with four part harmony, but after your advice, I see it makes sense to implement other devices/techniques that will further strengthen my application of counterpoint in the long run. Although I'm mentally prepared to study these subjects for years to become a better composer, efficiency in learning is also something that's super important to me, and you've given me a plan of action in studying efficiently and I truly appreciate it. I'll be binge watching your playlist shortly, just so I don't get too ahead of myself.

​@@Dubb1000 I believe you will be able to study both with no problems as long as you are motivated and interested in the topic, and it seems like this is already true for you. Basso Continuo exercises are great, these have the bass figures. It is a good idea to start with simple then go to more complex. Then Partimento is un-figured bass. There are different variations of The Rule of the Octave and Rules of Partimento depending on what teacher you learn from. Here are some resources to help: partimenti.org/ (People recommend this as a good start)partimenti.org/partimenti/collections/fenaroli/index.html partimenti.org/partimenti/collections/furno/index.html partimenti.org/partimenti/collections/durante/index.html www.researchgate.net/publication/338085776_Thoroughbass_Pedagogy_Near_Johann_Sebastian_Bach_Editions_and_Translations_of_Four_Manuscript_Sources www.derekremes.com/wp-content/uploads/Remes_CPEBachChorales.pdf www.youtube.com/@RichardusCochlearius www.youtube.com/@NikhilHoganShow

Mine does that too that's why in the video I push the power button on my turntable to turn it off. Then I move the tonearm, once it is placed where I want it I turn it back on. Some people do not recommend this since the tonearm needle is diamond and if its not placed in a groove it will just scratch its way until it catches in the grooves. I have personally had no noticeable damage from doing this and I do this to most of my albums of my here and there.

You can press the raise needle button and move it manually on the atlp60

You're welcome

Thanks for all of the feedback! Yes I could do that. I am pretty busy this weekend. I will try to get that done in the next few days. I will let you know when they are uploaded to my Google Drive and I will provide links.

I have been very busy this week and have not found time to get everything to PDF yet I will try to do that next week instead.

This ^ should include all of the texts and slides in my Counterpoint Playlist up to my 3 to 1 Counterpoint video where I then began adding more information in the descriptions. I also included some additional information that I have probably mentioned in my videos. Let me know if there is anything else.

Will do

I am glad you are liking the videos! A lot more to come and soon we will be learning more about the orchestra too.
