You're welcome. Thanks for the comment!

I really like and appreciate this video thank you, I am totally blind so I had a little difficulties following the now is the time and the back groove. I wasn’t exactly sure what you were playing. It was going super fast and I had to try to pick it out by ear, but I really appreciate this one and I will use it again. Thank you.😊 27:51

[@roberthodson]

Hi Jenica -- thank you so much! I'm so glad you're finding this video helpful. For the other videos that you were having a hard time with, was it just because I played the melody too fast? If it would be helpful, I could make a video teaching Now's the Time and Bag's Groove completely by ear, with a verbal description. I will also make sure to give more verbal descriptions of what I'm playing in future videos, rather than relying so heavily on the music notation. Thanks so much for mentioning this.

[@jenicacole1474]

@@roberthodson yes, thank you. I would appreciate it. The melodies were kind of fast and I had trouble picking them out. I appreciate your understanding and willingness to help.😊

@@jenicacole1474 You got it. I'm away from my piano through Tuesday, but I'll see if I can get something recorded on Wednesday.

hi Robert- rather accidentally i came to your channel!
Thank you so much!
You are completely underrated.
Is your playlist for writing in SATB completed?
And obviously i missed something: what is page 48 or so?
This kind of instruction is great, although i miss the book/Material or what….
thanks for any info!

[@roberthodson]

Hey, thank you so much! I so appreciate your kind words and am thrilled that you're finding value in the SATB videos. Those videos were actually created for the students in my theory class (I teach at the University of Wisconsin), and the page numbers refer to the workbook for Tonal Harmony by Kostka & Payne. I'm pretty sure that there's a pdf floating around out there, though you didn't hear that from me (:
The academic year starts up again in 2 weeks, and I'm planning to revise and expand all of those videos so that they're more friendly to a general UA-cam audience rather than just being geared toward my students.
This is actually part of my larger goal of making an entire 4-semester undergraduate music theory sequence available for free on my channel. So, keep following, and you'll see more material.

Also, this video compiles all of the videos I've made for first-year theory: ua-cam.com/video/tSoexbSa9KI/v-deo.html
This one focuses on the Neapolitan chord: ua-cam.com/video/haZITSbwTj8/v-deo.html
