Gareth, you may not become king of the UK (stiff competition, and not as easy a job as people might think), but you are already the king of YT Music Theory Classes! (And "God save our Gareth Green" fits quite well with the original first verse, doesn't it?)
For the first beat of bar 5, I would add passing 16th notes to the bass (either 8th note C, followed by B-C 16th notes or C-A-B-C all in 16ths) if you wanted to disrupt the rhythmic monotony of eighth notes for the previous four bars. Think of it as sort of a written-out mordent or turn.
Hey I have a question sir. I'm writing a orchestra peice in sonata form and I composed a development section but it is kinda a new theme which runs through many keys and takes some rhythmic parts from the expostion and tweaks it. My question is is that the right way to develop it? Can I use a strict phrasing that modulates through different keys and takes some rhythmic qualities from the expostion? It also pretty short compared to the expostion. Or is that totally wrong? I'm a bit confused. Thanks for any advice sir.😊
None of that is wrong. Sonata Form has a set structure but composers are very free with the respective lengths of sections and it’s not uncommon to introduce new material during the Development section. Go for it!

Ha ha. You’re very kind!
Excellent video! Talking through the process as you magically improve the piece REALLY helps. Thanks so much!
A pleasure. Hope all well
Brilliant, logical and musical! Thank you, Gareth! ♥

This is a nice companion lesson to your previous exploration of the BNA ("Improving a Bass Line"). I prefer this version, which isn't as busy.
That’s great
Excellent lesson on how to move the bass line. Thank you so much.

Excellent, as always!
That’s very kind
i appreciated the explanation of use of chromatic lower neighborhood where regular neighbor tone would have clashed with harmony.

Absolutely. There are many other possibilities
Thanks

Thanks! You have given me hope of doing something decently. Thanks.😁
That’s good.
I think King Charles would like your version, and he would know what you had done as he is a bit of a music buff!

this videos feels very familiar

If you are regarding the last chord in bar 3 as a seventh, haven't you left the seventh unresolved?
Not a problem because it’s a II7 not a V7.
