    I’ve been an untrained songwriter and musician arranging harmonies by ear and brute force since the ‘80s, but I got halfway smart a few years ago and started learning theory; I can’t believe it’s taken this long to stumble across a harmony primer as clearly, succinctly and elegantly presented as this. Thank you so much.

      Hi
      Im a 17teen year old student from iran I don’t go to music school im studying math at high school i play guitar but im nut really a professional player and Im a beginner at piano I know a bit music theory from researching online and self learning and trying to compose music
      Im looking to go to study music in italy or france but I don’t know how good I should be for them to accept me is there a chance that i get accepted ? If not what should i do , do you think someone in my age with only few years of experience can make it to a music college?

      @@MusicMattersGB i can’t play any classical instruments only guitar and even in that im not really that good if i get good in theory and aural can I still get it ? I checked the sample exam of abrsm and i easily passed the 1and2 with almost perfect points in 10 minutes and I still passed the 3th and the 4th and in 5 my problem was with key signatures and pass that I can’t get any abrsm because we can only get the online ones in our country if i worked in my theory and aurals can i get to music college?

    This is incredibly helpful! I wrote a piece more than 10 years ago, orchestrated it for beginning wind band, but I didn't really understand 4-part harmony - I just knew the chords I wanted and filled in notes with not much reasoning behind it. I'm revisiting it now, and this video is helping me to make decisions _on purpose_ !

    Excellent instruction. The visual guidance is really helpful and a better approach to music theory than some of us might have had as begninners. A really good pair of ears (maybe much rarer) may pick these points up quickly anyway.

    ‘In 4-part vocal writing You may not approach a Perfect Consonance (unison, octave, 5th or 4th) by Direct Motion : all other options of motus are allowable’ -
    Thus W.A.Mozart taught the young 21-year old Englishman Thomas Attwood in Vienna (between Monday 1 August 1785 thro’ Sunday 4 March 1787)
    Thankfully we still have extant Attwood’s student harmony notebook (K. 506a) consisting of 242 extant sheets (about 50-75 sheets seem to have gone missing over time for various reasons) - the first 35 sheets or so were dedicated to ‘Toni a Modi’ where M. would provide the Canto part (upper-soprano part) for e.g, 16-32 bars where Attwood was given ‘as homework’ to provide the 3 additional notes (a note written by M. in broken English dated 25 August 1785 says : ‘Tis Allways better to
    Use Full Cords’ [sic] ) = a very useful rule of thumb for beginners in Composition …
    Conversely Attwood would be given a bass-line (16-32 bars) where he had to add the upper voices ‘for homework’ which was usually due the next day (e.g, ‘For Tuesday’ &c.)
    Attwood’s initial attempts [beginning around 19 August 1785] to provide the ‘full chords’ met with some stern censure by M. who wrote on one sheet ‘Ther are many Faults in this Exempl - atentive’ [sic] and scribbl’d on several of the following pages ‘You are an Ass’ [!] whenever Attwood turn’d in any homework assignment with more than 2 errors…
    At the bottom of one particular ‘fully corrected’ homework assignment Attwood prefac’d his clean-copy (on his 3rd attempt) with :
    ‘Tuesday 23 August 1785 - Mr Thos Attwood sends his Regards to W.A. Mozart & hopes that he will find No Room for Correction with this Exercise.’
    M. was apparently very particular about how all 4 voices appear’d on the sheet in front of him & offer’d dozens of corrected examples by means of footnotes indicated by sigils (+, NB:, X, & a host of alchemical symbols probably out of one of Leopold Mozart’s library to mark which bar is being corrected at the bottom of the page …)
    Attwood’s work seem’d to have improved in his Toni a Modi examples over time judging by the contents of the extant pages in the autograph MS so that by 30 September 1785 he had cover’d all the basics of figur’d bass (‘thorough-bass’ or ‘Bezifferung’) with all the concomitant inversions of intervals so that M. was satisfied that Attwood could begin his Fuxian Counterpoint studies in earnest (starting with Fux’ Gradus ad Parnassum (1725) pages 41 through 99) but the point is M. dedicated 2 whole months to Attwood ev’ry afternoon to cover thoroughly all the various chord sequences common in 4-part harmony -
    Long story short - this very helpful video gives us a clever 40,000 foot overview ‘cheat-sheet’ of adding ‘full chords’ to any given Melody -all of which should make this very delicate task a little more ‘intelligible’ !! LoL

    This is exactly what I have been searching for. I've been tasked (self-tasked, actually) to write the vocal arrangements for my Country Rock band. I don't read music but have a good ear. I can always figure out the melody and first harmony easily, but the 2nd harmony is sometimes a challenge, and a 3rd harmony? Well that's no man's land to a guy with limited musical acumen. Heck, I may actually start to learn to read music and play some basic piano; two things that are on my bucket list. Thanks so much.

    Thank you Sir for your knowledge, I found this already incredibly rewarding. I started my music theory over 50 years ago but never found the right harmony link so to speak. I can't wait until the next lesson. Keep safe you and all yours and thank you again. Singem. PS I did a very similar experiment just the other day with Frère Jacques, it sounded fine but I did use consecutive 5th's as I didn't know the 5th rule, I suppose you could say I did a parallel harmony, I have heard of the such a musical expression! Thanks for any info. Thanks again. I remember an acquaintance of mine mentioned not using consecutive 5th's about 20 years ago as we were talking about CH Kitson's book of Harmony but I could never seem to obtain a copy!
