What a great piece of tuition. Hey, any chance you could let me know where I could get one of the boards that you show us examples on ? Such a great piece of kit for learning. Just keep them coming Gracie, so so good and gotta be the best tuition ever. Much love Gary x

    Started watching your videos about a week and half ago, learned a lot so far. I have been playing bass for 50 years and did everything pretty much by ear. As the saying goes never too old to learn, and I always wanted to know more about music theory so I searched and found many people teaching it on youtube. However no one so far I have found explains stuff as well as you do and based on comments I have read I am not the only one who has noticed. So thank you for what you are doing it has no doubt shined new light on this subject for me.

    The flats occur in the opposite order from the sharps, and the first to be sharped (F) is the last to be flatted.

    Gracie; Thanks for all the work you have done on these videos. I have just started going thru them and plan to study them all. However, I have a couple of questions that haunt me over the study of music. First, I am trying to learn the Bb trumpet so I don't understand how to apply this knowledge as my horn does not produce the same pitches as the piano (C on the staff is actually a Bb). When I play a C scale it is not really a C scale. Please explain so others using transposing instruments can learn to apply the knowledge you are conveying.

  • @purplebass6834
    @purplebass6834 2 года назад +4

    Over the past few months I’ve learned a lot of good music theory from your lessons - thank you. I hope you don’t think I’m being critical about this one but I had hoped there would have been some mention of the other modes in relation to key signature. For example you can have (please correct me if I’m wrong) a key signature that has no sharps or flats but is not in either C major or A minor but is in say G mixolydian (or in fact any of the other modes of the major scale) I have sometimes also at the beginning of a piece of music seen the mode written above the clef to clarify the scale being used. I’m only making this point to hopefully help others who when looking at a piece of music for example with no sharps or flats, automatically thinking C major or A minor when in fact it’s in G mix. or one of the other modes because this was something that confused me for ages.

I stopped playing seriously about 30 years ago after taking lesson for ten years in my youth, and I feel like your tutorials have dislodged a blood clot in my brain and a haze has lifted. It's all rushing back. So question now: is there a formula or nmemonic device to remember the fingering for each scale on a piano?

    Gracie thank you again for a great lesson. For me, as a budding song writer, I understand the importance of the theory you teach in this video, and how to recognise what key signature the musical piece is in, and how to identify the sharps or flats etc. What I really want to know is, once I have written a new song, or piano piece , how do I determine what key it is? Is it simply counting the sharps or flats in the piece, as they appear, or do you have any other tips or hints to help me ascertain the key I have written the music in? I enjoyed your circle of fifths video and it was very useful too. Thank you again. By the way , the cops are busy in New York and love to play their sirens!!

    • @GracieTerzian
      @GracieTerzian  2 года назад +1

      Great question! The simplest way is to figure out what is the final chord of the song. When you play this ____ chord at the end of the song, it should sound resolved. It could be a major or minor chord. Whatever that chord is... there is a 99% chance that is the key your song is in. So if the song ends with the chord G major..it's probably in the key of G major. Look at the final CHORD and not the final NOTE in the melody :). I have a video that discusses this right in the beginning of the video. Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/KSHd3syFa9A/видео.html

      I find using the circle of 5ths helpful when it comes to memorizing major scales/order of sharps/order of flats. But perhaps something like this is more what you're looking for? This is a little trick to tell you the key signature/scale for anytime you see a major key signature written in music: ruclips.net/video/ZYg4xDvV1kY/видео.html

I understand about the major scale and which ones in each scale are major and minor, perfect 4ths and fifths etc, but I do have a question about the relative minor scale taking the e minor scale for example. If e minor is number 1 in the scale is number 2, the F#, a minor or a major and so forth for number 3, 4 ,5 etc? Are there any major in the minor scale or any Perfect 4ths and fifths and are they major or minors? Thank you for all you do. I enjoy learning even more as a senior adult.
