    We laugh at YT lessons, but in the 1960's at a major university I took a full-semester course in music theory (classes, homework, exams), and they didn't cover half of what Ms. Terzian covers in a few minutes. And frankly, she covers it better.

    As I have been teaching myself to play piano, I had a lightbulb moment about musical structures, and that is the fact that "intervals" are the KEY to music. In this video, you mapped out the interval structures of these chords, and showed how they can be applied to any number of different keys. It is these 'distance relationships" so to speak that are the underlying structures that cause our brain to identify these sounds and their associated feelings. I like to re-visit your videos because I find that as I progress along this path, I notice things I hadn't noticed before. Nicely done!

      In my opinion EVERYONE should learn music theory on a keyboard, regardless of what their chosen main instrument is. It's just so much easier and less confusing, and teaches and prepares you better for orchestrating and arranging later.
