    At this time, the PDF is only available to Patreon supporters. Maybe in the future I will make it available for free or on a different website, which is why I don't specify the website in my video and just refer to it as a "link". This gives me flexibility for the future since I cannot edit my video later down the road once I've already posted it to RUclips. My Patreon supporters make it possible for me to make these videos on RUclips, and I like to thank them by providing them with bonus materials. If you like what I do, you can support me as well on Patreon for $5/month. Music is how I make my living, and I can't tell you what a big difference their support makes.

    Gracie, thanks for filling in the fine details that others might assume are obvious. The signs of a great teacher are that they first, know the fine details of the subject and second, do not assume the student knows any of those details. I don't mind sitting through information that I THOUGHT I knew because the repeated info reinforces and fills in my weak spots. Much of what you teach in this lesson was absolutely foreign to me so, you made my intellectual day with this lesson. I'm really looking forward to the next lesson as to the whys of the minor scales.

    Ms Gracie, you are such a skilled teacher. It is truly amazing how you can take what is often inscrutable (music theory) and then for those of us who started out learning music by ear translate that it into concepts that finally make sense. What is particularly distinctive is not just the "tricks" to memorizing these rules, but perhaps more importantly, the genuine graciousness with which you deliver the teaching. Like so many here, i have learned so much under your tutelage. Thank you very much.

    Your Music Theory videos are just stunning. Thanks to you I learned the western 12-TET system and interconections between its notes in no time. I watched more videos about circle of fifths, scales, chords etc... It also added something to overall understanding, but your way of teaching and explaining is truly one of the best out there and makes understanding a breeze. Thank you for the time you put in to make these videos.

    Excellent lesson, Gracie! You are so good at teaching music theory. Explaining how the 3, 6, and 7 are flatten and when, cleared up so much for me on the different minor scales. I had watched another RUclips video years ago on minor scales, but he just used intervals. For me, it's easier to remember what degrees get flattened and when. Thank-you!
