Thanks. This was my first lesson on music theory.

2022-02-26 20:08:35 +0000 UTCI get it. You're forming expectations about what chords you're going to hear next. And if you don't hear the chord you were expecting, that's when you go "Woah!"

2022-02-26 20:07:33 +0000 UTCThanks for the lesson Doug. Having a smattering of self-taught knowledge it was really helpful going over some of the rudiments of music theory. I had never heard of the alto c-clef, as I was thinking of buying a Mandola, it could be very helpful indeed. I'm learning the process of solmization and I think I'm making some progress, singing a melody then going over to the piano to see how close I got it. I'll have to hunt down some online exercises.

2022-02-23 17:29:57 +0000 UTCThank You for this video. It's almost impossible for me to order this book. I'm using "The Complete Musician" by Steven G. Laitz. What do you think of it?

2022-02-23 10:04:02 +0000 UTCHey Doug. Great video. Thanks. You briefly touched on modes. I understand how modes are constructed. However, I am somewhat unsure about how they affect the way music is constructed. Somewhere down the line could you do an episode (or a part thereof) to discuss modes in more detail? Thanks.

2022-02-23 00:56:24 +0000 UTCThese behind the scores vids are great. I love the videos but I haven't been too involved with music since my school days in band (where I was affectionately known as Stoner Tromboner - which is another story for another day, but I digress). Anyway, a good portion of the theory stuff is over my head, so these videos are allowing me to start catching on a little. Great stuff!

2022-02-20 19:18:03 +0000 UTCThank you so much for producing this lesson! My son is working on his performance degree for classical horn and my wife sang in school and church choir. I’ve never played an instrument or attended music classes before. I often felt let out when they would discuss a piece of music he was working on. I feel like I’ve been learning just following your weekly videos, but this will help me even more. I’m sure I will watch this again. Thanks again for your time!
