As someone just barely dipping their toes into harmonizing, I love how you layed out all the chords in a key you work with, and explained which to use. It finally clicks with me!

I'm just a computer scientist / programmer who's looking up some music theory because I want to make my coding experience better. Every time I write a piece of code I would like music to be played, now the sound that is played sounds crap and I wanted to check whats the algorithm behind making it sound nice. I came across your channel and I forgot while watching your video what I actually wanted to do and started thinking how fascinating music theory can be. Thanks for sharing this!

@@MusicMattersGB so far so good, I did the first few bits today :)
Excellent
I love your videos ! they help me understand music more thank u ! I was just wondering why in some songs in the bass/chord clef with find a single note instead of a triad ? this really confuses me
Many thanks. Much more at www.mmcourses.co.uk
You might find a single note in the Bass because that’s what the composer wants or it might be that the bass notes imply chords. Depends on the particular context.
@@MusicMattersGB omg !! Thank you so much for the information and for responding to me ,I wish the best 💗💗💗
