This technique is too simple to work this well

- The harmonic sequence is such a simple device that it almost feels too easy.

Despite being a simple technique, sequences give music exactly the right balance of repetition and variety that once you're aware of them you'll end up hearing them everywhere.

It looks amazing but today in Colombia 1USD is 4200 COL. It's to much money here. Maybe you can think about a different price for us. Then you can sell more courses. Thanks for your videos. You are the best.
sequences are a good gateway to playing outside material in jazz solos.
Shit, I hadn't thought of that, that's great advice.
I am a young eastern European adult male with male pattern baldness and a beard who often gets mistaken for an Israelite that works full time with rotating weekends/ calls and I love your videos.
This is too good
This one is gold, I’ve read also about, melodic, harmonic, mirror inversions, and had this idea of repetition in my mind, but didn’t yet got to this one, so thank you 🙏
Ryan stated it so clearly and simply. This was very good teaching.
I’m a young composer that always use your tips in my own compositions
Great demonstration of this technique! I'll definitely try it out.
Love the shirt, btw.
Octopath Traveler has to be one of the most beautiful games I've played on the Switch, fell in love with it as soon as I tried the demo, what an amazing soundtrack!
Great stuff, here. I don't mind longer videos. However, when I feel like a quick lesson, seven minutes feels good. Not too long, but enough time for quality elaboration.
More great info. Love the octopath score! Congrats on the course release.
The power of sequence
Love sequencing the harmonies using the chords and regular notes 🎶.
So excited for your new course! I love your content!
Another great explanation Ryan, thanks for sharing your insights!
this is insanely good information!
I got a semester of this in college this year. This video is better
I can't wait to take your course!
super clear expl
I have never played Octopath Traveler and do not intend to, but the soundtrack is so charming, I love it.
I stumbled upon a nice harmonic sequence to facilitate a key change. Em to D7, then Dm to C7. The minor chord to a dom 7 sound kind of neat. Hey, love your videos, BTW.
I do this so much, unconciously.
You almost did the Old and Wise APP melody there 😂
One of my favourite tool ^^
Recently I bought a new notation program where this sort of edit is easy to do, by contrast to Finale where it involves changing from entry mode to edit mode. In the Passport Designs notation programs I used to use it was even easier to do this edit.
The first melody is almost identical to old and wise by Alan parsons !! Even the instrument is similar
Awesome👍
Is that your answer to the question of the week in the discord ? 👀
Hey Ryan, quick question on your course. Is it all taught in musical notation like you do on your videos here? Asking because often these courses are taught within a DAW and looking at those colourful lines never made any sense to me or helped my understanding, so I am looking for a course taught in actual music notation instead. 🙂
At first I was worried you were going to ask the opposite question! But yea it is all done in notation, I agree it is so much better than a DAW piano roll
@@RyanLeach Awesome, I'll try it out soon then!
How long can you continue a sequence because I read that sequence should last foe about 3 -4 bars
Hey Ryan. Have really valued your videos so far so I just enrolled in your news course! Also, I see that you grew up in S.A. I lived in Adelaide for 7 years and it was a great period in my life. living back in Victoria now. Looking forward to the course. Hope you're doing well.
Man it feels like another life now but I was in Adelaide as a kid in the early 90s. Amazing time!
all my homies love sequences
just as someone said, repitition legitimizes
👍
This is just Bach
In other words simply listen to where the music is going in your head. It will sound good or not.
The origin of sequencing motifs/themes like this would be Wagner, no?
Wagner definitely stretched them to an extreme but it goes back much farther
Serious question: Why do you have a bias that simple techniques couldn't work this well?
Great technique, but sometimes it's just a "too lazy" solution
Yeah but I find a lot of the time that's where the melody naturally wants to go (especially in circle of fifths chord progressions).
Great demonstration! I've learned so much from your channel.
Another variant is to transpose by a certain number of steps, modulate to a different key, and play in a different mode. For example, your initial phrase could be in E minor, then you transpose down a step in D major (rather than D mixolydian or D minor).
I wonder where the terms sentence and period first started being used in music? It always confuses me because it seems a period can contain 1-2 sentences but a sentence can’t usually contain a period…
If it's made up of two periods, Caplin calls it a "compound period" because that makes it more clear that it's made up of two themes. I think Schoenberg is the first one to identify the sentence in his book Fundamentals of Musical Composition
@@RyanLeach I may have to check that out then! Good to know :)
For me this is the best Music Composition Course TH-cam Channel, full of practical techniques explained in a usuable and easy way. I love it! Again a great video. Thank you, Ryan👌👍
You are an amazing teacher, words cannot describe what you do to music 🥲🔥
Thank you so much 😀
I do this all the time. But you're right, it's such a simple technique it almost feels like CHEATING ... 🎶😎👍
Many thanks.
Fricking nice
Great information, as usual. I i’m sure I’m missing something obvious; I click the link provided but cannot figure out how to actually purchase the pillars of composition?
Sorry about that, the site just now set it to go live!
@@RyanLeach , I’m very excited to get started, thank you! :)
Just wanted to say thank you because this is so interesting and helpful.
Good luck with the course Ryan!

the thumbnail haha
thank you very much for another great video! but why not taking examples from YOUR MUSIC instead of keep using other's scores? (as usefull as they can be). we want to understand how YOU compose and what's behind your music
basic stuff. is the target audience for this channel more or less beginning level?
