omg. a complete harmony course on you tube. this is priceless.

You have been helping countless of college music students who have to teach themselves due to bad teachers.

I was a music major my first two years of college before changing majors and going to film school. Now, 20 years later, I'm going back to relearn all the theory I've forgotten over the years. Your explanation of the circle of fifths is SO MUCH BETTER than how I was taught it (WWHWWWH)

Here I thought I was just bad at music theory, turns out I just had a bad professor.

I don't know how many of us have finally found one reliable source to learn music from here on YouTube.
Thank you for making these priceless contents available to us without a charge. This is purely an intellectual philanthropy.
Please Accept a Sincere Gratitude from Nepal 🇳🇵 . May God bless you . 😍

Wow, this video is fascinating. I like how he makes patterns in the music theory so it is easier to learn.

Wanted to post this for anyone who is trying to memorize the scales as this tip has helped me a lot along with everything you covered in the video.  Besides writing everything out I am focusing on the first three sharp and flat scales respectively (FBbEb, GDA) and  of course C as the foundational scales to memorize.  Then whenever you get a scale that has more than 3 accidentals rather than outright memorizing the entire scale, simply take your foundational scale and convert the accidentals from that to natural, and all the original naturals to whichever accidental applies (+7 sharp or -7 flat depending what scale you want).


For example instead of trying to remember that Gb Major has GbAbCbDbEbFb as accidentals, Take G Major which only has F#, F# becomes F natural and every other note becomes flat.  Bb major to B Major, Bb and Eb become B and E natural and everything else is raised to a sharp, and so on.  C# and Cb major have all 7 accidentals because C has no accidentals.


Foundation Scale         Conversion Scale

G                                     Gb
D                                     Db
A                                     Ab
C                                     C# Cb
F                                      F#
Bb                                   B
Eb                                   E



Hopefully this makes sense and helps someone, I wouldn't say I've memorized all 15 scales to the extent I want yet but this has made the process a lot faster for me.

I don’t play an instrument but learning this sounds fun so why not 😂 I’m going to go buy a notebook

Your a great teacher kid, i've watched a lot of music theory tutorials and this is the only one that not only taught me a great deal, but didn't put me to sleep 10 mins into it.

Omg This is so amazing thank you. I think God saved you a special place in heaven. You aren't just helping college music students you are helping people who are self-thought or have no money to go to an actual music college learn. I am in that category I am a young guitar player and I really want to dive into music theory cause I think it's really cool and you are helping me with that thank you <3

you are the best teacher for music theory! I have forwarded your video to my other friends and they all think you are wonderful! You help me a lot and made it a lot easier to learn theory. thank you

Thank you so much! I've only watched this first video. I play guitar and I've probably watched 10 hours of guitar channel videos about the circle of fifths. I understand it better after watching this one 30-minute video and rewinding here and there to make sure I comprehend than I have after 10 hours of other video. I'm so excited to keep going!

The only thing that has successfully taught me the Circle of Fifths! Bravo!!!

I've sent hundreds people to your videos. I appreciate what you do greatly

You are an outstanding music educator. Thank you for putting these lessons online.

Professor is low key crushing this. ❤

I’ve watched this vid for 15 min and it’s the first time I’ve understood the fundamentals of the circle of 5ths in my life. I’m a guitar player but don’t hold that against me. Now it clicks 🎉

Thank you ❤

omg i been looking for this kind of course for so long! yesss

OMG, this is loads easier than the way I have been learning! Why is this not way taught all the time?!
