I feel like I should really thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything I’m learning from you in such an accessible way!
You're so good at explaining things and keeping focused on what you're trying to get across! 🔥🙌
The quality of the content you provide is incredible. The way you make concepts accessible is a gift. You make available to us for free music theory techniques and knowledge that are worth hours and hours of lessons (and the associated cost). A huge thank you from France (thus you know that your work has an impact on different time zones 😉).
Binge-watching all of your videos! Im rooting for your success. Keep posting so that people like me find your channel. I have watched numeous yt channel but this is the best channel for piano learning so far.
you are such a great piano teacher!!!
I like to think keys like lanes on highway. If you’re driving in one lane and your wheel drifts an inch over the line, your car is still mostly in the same lane. You never actually left your original lane, you just used a tiny bit of an adjacent lane. You probably want to adjust your wheel a bit so that your whole car is fully back in the lane you started in. You can, of course, change lanes completely if you want as well. At some point during that transition your car will be using common ground between both lanes at the same time until you completely merge into the new one.
I haven't watched the video yet (only the beginning), but this was exactly the question I planned to ask you when you upload your new video. I'm super excited to watch. Thank you for making the best videos about piano improvisation and music theory. 🤩🤩🥰
You are a dark horse as the title of this episode seemed a little mundane. I might easily have missed its fascinating glimpse of the resolutions to the tonic offered by borrowed chords. Many thanks.
Isn’t Em the dominant in the key of Am? You mention at 6:32 that it’s E.
Great question! in harmonic minor it's V instead of v, E instead of Em. I'd say in most minor-key songs it's more common to hear V than v
Many many thanks! If I may -- I don't know how the others, but I am beginner and two things would help -- if it is possible adding virtual keyboard so we always would know for sure what keys you press. And second, sticking to one scale would also be helpful -- from my perspective it looks like this, ok, we are in C key, iv, III, etc starts with.... ok, this is major, that is minor ok, and then comes "so for example if you are in E key..." 😀 and I have to rewire everything from scratch 🙂 Of course if I would be more advanced, and translate/map everything on fly it would be no issue I guess 🙂 Just to clarify, this is feedback/remarks, not critique/negative response, your videos are very helpful, so thank you again.
How do you explain the reason why 3 major resolve nicely to 4 major while it is not its secondary dominant? (3 major is the secondary dominant of six minor,isn't it?)
I touch on this at 8:15 - a more formal way of describing it might be to call it a deceptive cadence in the secondary key (ie V resolving to VI instead of i). To my ear that's more how it works than for example just a chromatic movement upward, although nothing wrong with thinking of it that way either.
With this kind of analysis it's all about what makes it easiest for you to hear and recognize the pattern!
