Nice but you should write the number 6 so that it is not mistaken for a flat-sign b. Your 6 has a straight vertical back and a "square circle". Do you see what I mean? A "cheat-sheet" user would write Am/c. In fx. Handel Complete Works edition you can find nice examples of how to write 6 and b without blending them.

This is so useful, to develop a contrapuntal progression from a fairly basic chord scheme shown so logically and clearly is absolutely brilliant. In 16 minutes I understood more about counterpoint than I ever have. Thanks so much for yet another great video.
I have seen a lot of video of that kind and let me say Music Matters is by far the best ! Thank you Mr Green, your words are gold and so pedagogical ! Bravo !

I'm still working on my keyboard skills, and this is out of my pay grade. But I sat in on the course anyway, as I have done for almost two years with your video classes. And I have never felt hopelessly lost, since you always include a home base with your calm presentation. For a retired health care provider who used to joke about my lack of musical understanding, this is a life changing event. Merci beaucoup to you and Alex. I hope both of you have watched my video on exercises to stabilize and strengthen the low back. Thirty seconds of exercises that could be done every day, since it's only thirty seconds. Oh, BTW, it SHOULD be done every day, since it's only thirty seconds. Also included are treatments for the shoulders and hands. Oh My Aching Bach
Very helpful. Provides yet another way to put short pieces together by a kind of craft process. The thing about this kind of approach is that it doesn't feel immediately intuitive, but works by initially a kind of bottom up approach of fragments. Then the gaps are filled in - and finally - [is this top down?] the whole thing is put together - and is a reasonably interesting short piece. Such short pieces could then be used as components in larger pieces - for example if orchestrated - or if not orchestrated just used in a larger structure. Great stuff!
Oh, how I wish I'd had access to this lesson back in 1983, when I was studying counterpoint. My compositions would have been so much better (and would have no doubt have received higher marks). Thank you.

Thank you so much for videos with great explanations, Mr. Green. Mr., I'm very curious about how to write harmony melodies for a main melody when there are already chords (like for two singing voices), and how to sing a harmony melody just by hearing the existing melody with or without the beat (arrangement). I hope you will make a video about this subject, I'm very excited. Thank you ♥.

I always find it interesting when we assume our way of doing things is the only way. Example: Some individuals in the comments thought that you were mistaken for using IIb for first inversion chords. I grew up in Jamaica (once a British colony) and moved to the United States so I am aware of difference ie. crochets vs quarter notes. We must remember not to get caught up in language and/or symbols being absolute. We should focus our intention on the thing being referred to and the context.

Thank you very much! I got good ideas to play melody in higher octave (right hand) with addition of two more notes in lower octave (left hand) to make chords. By making such arrangements in turn I gets idea to play dual melody both in parallel and contrary motion.

Thank you for this video. It is just the kind of thing I was looking for :) Is there any value in writing out the chord scheme in 4 parts or does it make no difference? I wonder if it might help with the vocie leading.
@@MusicMattersGB Thank you. As a future video recommendation on behalf of us who come out of harmony and voice leading class, it would be of great benefit to see a similar video but one where you take advantage of the voice leading between chords. Thank you for the channel.
17:17: But *why* does it want to go on to A? Maybe because Mussorgsky already wrote that melody (the Promenade from Pictures from an Exhibition). His direct inspiration, though, was clearly Bach's first two-part Invention, which has a similar melody too.

I love your videos, but I've never heard of the first inversion of II being referred to as IIb. Isn't it supposed to be II6 because of the inverted interval between the third and the root?
@@MusicMattersGB Thank you for your fast reply. I never knew that the UK had different terminology here. And being German I've had my fair amount of confusion over "b"s and "h"s 😅. Always happy to learn more, thanks again! :-)
Thank you for the this lesson. I'm still fairly new to counterpoint and wondering. Is the original melody in red and blue, that goes between tenor and bass, would this be considered the cantus firmus for the green? If so, does this mean at some point I can write counterpoint above and below the cantus firmus within one measure?

Hi Gareth, I am a long time admirer of your tutorials. They definitely helped me improve my understanding of music and composition as a science not just as an art. In the example you are providing, you kept alternating the main subject/motif between the Soprano and the Bass every two beats. I know you are trying to maintain some sort of balance, but is that a must? What other variations on that would be acceptable? Thanks and keep up the great work you are doing!
Thanks for your support. The imitation is regular here but there are many other possibilities if you want to place entries one or three beats apart or wider.

Brilliant and concise video Mr. Green! I would like to ask a question on the green notes of bar 1, specifically on the last passing note C in right hand that happens to also be the 7th of V. Can any passing note be written simultaneously on a newly played harmony note (in this case on the G) please? The way I know it is that a passing note must be written on a static harmony note, or else the notes will sound like a new chord. Thanks in advance
Hi Gareth, I have a question not related to music theory.. is about the piano key touch.. im now 38yrs old and started to pick up piano again.. i have a digital piano that I can adjust the piano key touch from super light - super heavy. My fingers are not as strong and I find playing the piano with a Medium heaviness key touch (the default setting) a bit tiring.. Should I train my fingers playing on the piano with a Light key touch and then work my way up to be able to play at a more heavy key? Thank you in advance for your insight. Also, do you have a video about The Art of Piano Key Touch, like how should we play/hit the piano key?
I would start at the light touch but progress to the medium touch as and when you can. The important thing is to maintain a relaxed posture in the upper body shoulders wrists and fingers.
@@MusicMattersGB Thank you for your advice. I really enjoy the free lessons you share on TH-cam, you made it easy to understand 😊 Hopefully Music Matters will release a video on The technique of Piano Key Touch, i think it would greatly help us beginners, self learners etc to have better control on our piano playing 😇
Sir generally we play melody and it's backing on the piano, I really get stucked when it's about to play only baking when someone is singing can you please make a video on how to accompany creatively when some one is singing.
Txs! Sorry but bII would be in G the Ab minor chord. What you played was a II6 chord. Thats an a minor with a c in the bass. We in Germany say Terz-Sextakkord or only Sextakkord or first inversion.
Yeah. It’s weird to name those 1st inversion chords as “b” chords. After all, seeing those notes it’s clear what chords they are. We learnt as “II6” not “IIb”.
Hi Gareth, Thanks for yet another helpful video. It is good to have the music as an HTML download, however, it would be even better if a musicxml file (or Sibelius / Musescore ? Dorico file) was made available. Have you considered this? Thanks

Thank you for another brilliant video which has inspired me to 'have a go'. Please advise the music notation software and version that you use as the coloured note layers clarify each step so clearly and would be useful in deeper analysis such as Schenkerian?
I am a tad confused. The top three are groupings of four bars - and so are the bottom three. Are they not for the right and left hands respectively? The first part you play appears on the sheet music as both being played in the right hand - bar 1 and 4 - yet you play it successively and right and left. Perhaps I am over thinking ot or missing something. Not trying to be dificult.

Nice but you should write the number 6 so that it is not mistaken for a flat-sign b. Your 6 has a straight vertical back and a "square circle". Do you see what I mean? A "cheat-sheet" user would write Am/c. In fx. Handel Complete Works edition you can find nice examples of how to write 6 and b without blending them.
a is root position
b is first inversion
c is second inversion

This is so useful, to develop a contrapuntal progression from a fairly basic chord scheme shown so logically and clearly is absolutely brilliant. In 16 minutes I understood more about counterpoint than I ever have. Thanks so much for yet another great video.

I'm still working on my keyboard skills, and this is out of my pay grade. But I sat in on the course anyway, as I have done for almost two years with your video classes. And I have never felt hopelessly lost, since you always include a home base with your calm presentation. For a retired health care provider who used to joke about my lack of musical understanding, this is a life changing event. Merci beaucoup to you and Alex.
I hope both of you have watched my video on exercises to stabilize and strengthen the low back. Thirty seconds of exercises that could be done every day, since it's only thirty seconds. Oh, BTW, it SHOULD be done every day, since it's only thirty seconds. Also included are treatments for the shoulders and hands.

Such an enjoyable way to learn from such a generous instructor. All without the classroom intimidation. My absolute favorite! Thank you.

Very helpful. Provides yet another way to put short pieces together by a kind of craft process.
The thing about this kind of approach is that it doesn't feel immediately intuitive, but works by initially a kind of bottom up approach of fragments. Then the gaps are filled in - and finally - [is this top down?] the whole thing is put together - and is a reasonably interesting short piece.
Such short pieces could then be used as components in larger pieces - for example if orchestrated - or if not orchestrated just used in a larger structure.
Great stuff!

So happy to see the demonstration of development! Can’t wait to try it out later! Thank you!

Thank you so much for videos with great explanations, Mr. Green.
Mr., I'm very curious about how to write harmony melodies for a main melody when there are already chords (like for two singing voices), and how to sing a harmony melody just by hearing the existing melody with or without the beat (arrangement). I hope you will make a video about this subject, I'm very excited. Thank you ♥.
Ok. Will consider how we might best do that.

I always find it interesting when we assume our way of doing things is the only way. Example: Some individuals in the comments thought that you were mistaken for using IIb for first inversion chords. I grew up in Jamaica (once a British colony) and moved to the United States so I am aware of difference ie. crochets vs quarter notes. We must remember not to get caught up in language and/or symbols being absolute. We should focus our intention on the thing being referred to and the context.
Absolutely!

Thank you very much! I got good ideas to play melody in higher octave (right hand) with addition of two more notes in lower octave (left hand) to make chords. By making such arrangements in turn I gets idea to play dual melody both in parallel and contrary motion.

Thanks Carl.
Thank you for this video. It is just the kind of thing I was looking for :) Is there any value in writing out the chord scheme in 4 parts or does it make no difference? I wonder if it might help with the vocie leading.
There’s a lot of sense in that.
@@MusicMattersGB Thank you. As a future video recommendation on behalf of us who come out of harmony and voice leading class, it would be of great benefit to see a similar video but one where you take advantage of the voice leading between chords. Thank you for the channel.
17:17: But *why* does it want to go on to A? Maybe because Mussorgsky already wrote that melody (the Promenade from Pictures from an Exhibition).
His direct inspiration, though, was clearly Bach's first two-part Invention, which has a similar melody too.
This piece doesn’t go to A. It’s all in the key of G.
@@MusicMattersGB It's in a different key, but it's still the same melody 😃
Which bar?
Great video as always. Clear, concise and interesting! The well of inspiration never runs dry 😃

I love your videos, but I've never heard of the first inversion of II being referred to as IIb. Isn't it supposed to be II6 because of the inverted interval between the third and the root?
Thanks, this video will explain the different terminology: th-cam.com/video/YBHY-0mmKkA/w-d-xo.html
@@MusicMattersGB Thank you for your fast reply. I never knew that the UK had different terminology here. And being German I've had my fair amount of confusion over "b"s and "h"s 😅. Always happy to learn more, thanks again! :-)
😀
Thank you for the this lesson. I'm still fairly new to counterpoint and wondering. Is the original melody in red and blue, that goes between tenor and bass, would this be considered the cantus firmus for the green? If so, does this mean at some point I can write counterpoint above and below the cantus firmus within one measure?
It’s perfectly possible to have the counterpoint either side of the cf. you don’t have to include a cf in your counterpoint.
@ thank you for the reply and again for your teachings!

Hi Gareth, I am a long time admirer of your tutorials. They definitely helped me improve my understanding of music and composition as a science not just as an art. In the example you are providing, you kept alternating the main subject/motif between the Soprano and the Bass every two beats. I know you are trying to maintain some sort of balance, but is that a must? What other variations on that would be acceptable? Thanks and keep up the great work you are doing!
Thanks for your support. The imitation is regular here but there are many other possibilities if you want to place entries one or three beats apart or wider.
Great video! Well explained!

Is it okay to have the fourth between the voices followed by dim5?
That’s not a problem.
❤ thanks so much for the great video!
A pleasure. Much more at www.mmcourses.co.uk
Many thanks.

Brilliant and concise video Mr. Green! I would like to ask a question on the green notes of bar 1, specifically on the last passing note C in right hand that happens to also be the 7th of V. Can any passing note be written simultaneously on a newly played harmony note (in this case on the G) please? The way I know it is that a passing note must be written on a static harmony note, or else the notes will sound like a new chord. Thanks in advance
This is quite a common situation ie when a passing note also happens to add a 7th to a chord.
Hi Gareth, I have a question not related to music theory.. is about the piano key touch.. im now 38yrs old and started to pick up piano again.. i have a digital piano that I can adjust the piano key touch from super light - super heavy. My fingers are not as strong and I find playing the piano with a Medium heaviness key touch (the default setting) a bit tiring.. Should I train my fingers playing on the piano with a Light key touch and then work my way up to be able to play at a more heavy key? Thank you in advance for your insight. Also, do you have a video about The Art of Piano Key Touch, like how should we play/hit the piano key?
I would start at the light touch but progress to the medium touch as and when you can. The important thing is to maintain a relaxed posture in the upper body shoulders wrists and fingers.
@@MusicMattersGB Thank you for your advice. I really enjoy the free lessons you share on TH-cam, you made it easy to understand 😊 Hopefully Music Matters will release a video on The technique of Piano Key Touch, i think it would greatly help us beginners, self learners etc to have better control on our piano playing 😇
Have a look at our free Play Piano course. There’s content on this here.
@@MusicMattersGB 👍 Thx will check it out
Sir generally we play melody and it's backing on the piano, I really get stucked when it's about to play only baking when someone is singing can you please make a video on how to accompany creatively when some one is singing.
Ok
Txs! Sorry but bII would be in G the Ab minor chord. What you played was a II6 chord. Thats an a minor with a c in the bass. We in Germany say Terz-Sextakkord or only Sextakkord or first inversion.
II in first inversion in the key of G would be a chord of A minor with C at the bottom.
Yeah. It’s weird to name those 1st inversion chords as “b” chords. After all, seeing those notes it’s clear what chords they are. We learnt as “II6” not “IIb”.
Two international systems:-
The one you know plus the a b c method
@@christopherheckman7957 right sorry i meant bII chord, that would be ab minor in G.
Hi Gareth,
Thanks for yet another helpful video. It is good to have the music as an HTML download, however, it would be even better if a musicxml file (or Sibelius / Musescore ? Dorico file) was made available. Have you considered this? Thanks
Hi Stephen, that’s a good idea we try and make sure futures videos have a link to an XML file of the scores.
Can this be used to write counterpoint at the unison, or would that restrict the available chords one could use?
Perfectly possible
Awesome sir Gareth! Thank you very much...!!!

Sir you taught is great but I wanted to ask from where to catch such chord progressions? As the right hand and left hand depends upon so. Unless you have got bunch of chord progression.
Have a look at our videos on the best chords to follow… and this will give you chord progressions
This video is very helpful. Thank you!

What kind of notation is "IIb" as 1st inversion of II? I would have interpreted it as flat II-chord, so in G major as A-flat major chord.
It’s one of the two international systems for describing chords:-
a root position
b first inversion
c second inversion
@@MusicMattersGB Ok, I had to search a bit but I found the system on wikipedia, it's called "Roman numeral analysis". It's quite confusing for me being used to jazz notation and the Nashville Number System but I guess it makes more sense in a classical context. Anyway, thanks for your reply as well as for this interesting video.
A pleasure. It’s good to know the various systems
This was fantastic! What would be the main obstacles to adding a third voice to what you had at the end?
Adding a third voice would be perfectly possible. Much more at www.mmcourses.co.uk including details of our online courses and of our exciting Maestros programme.

Really helpful explanation which I will apply to my jazz guitar playing and string quartet writing. Thanks!
Btw, what is the name of the software that you use that highlights the keyboard notes being played?
Synthesia is the software. A pleasure. Much more at www.mmcourses.co.uk including details of our online courses and of our exciting Maestros programme.

@@MusicMattersGB can you do a video showing how to write a canon at the unison, 3rd, 2nd, etc
Okay
excellent work!
Most kind
Thank you for another brilliant video which has inspired me to 'have a go'. Please advise the music notation software and version that you use as the coloured note layers clarify each step so clearly and would be useful in deeper analysis such as Schenkerian?
Glad you found it useful. We did the coloured notes and score in Dorico.
when outlining chords, is it really necessary to play all the notes from it, or could it be just 2 or even 1?
Could be 1 or 2.
I am a tad confused. The top three are groupings of four bars - and so are the bottom three. Are they not for the right and left hands respectively? The first part you play appears on the sheet music as both being played in the right hand - bar 1 and 4 - yet you play it successively and right and left. Perhaps I am over thinking ot or missing something. Not trying to be dificult.
For each pair of staves the upper stave is right hand with the lower stave for the left hand.
This is fantastic. Thx!!!

I’m curious about your use of “b” to indicate first inversion. Are you sure you don’t mean “6” (looks sorta similar)? That’s the usual figured-bass for that inversion.
a is root position
b is first inversion
c is second inversion
This is an international system that runs parallel with
5/3, 6/3, 6/4.
Can't thank you enough for these videos

Don't know where you got Ib and IIb. They are traditionally I6 and II6. Did you mistake 6 for b or is there some other explanation?
There are two commonly used international systems, the one to which you refer and:-
a is root position
b is first inversion
c is second inversion
