That was really helpful David! Thank you for making this video. Would like to see a video on non-chord tones that focus on non-diatonic non-chord tones/notes. Thanks again! Learned a lot and like how you explain the different types of non-chord tones.
Hey mate, just started composition classes and had an okay understanding of basic theory, but was a bit confused by this - so thanks for breaking it down so well and concisely :)
9:28 ive just started learning piano and I was playing jingle bells and the effect of the suspensions in that song, like, clicked with me, I had an epiphany, like, "Oh, so that's why non-chord tones are so important" and that has brought me to this video.
Hm. Something I've always been confused about is why it matters what comes before the non-chord tone. For example, if a song started with a C Major chord, and the right hand had a D on top that resolves down to C immediately after, wouldn't that still be a 9-8 suspension, despite that D not initially being approached by common tone? If I had to guess, I suppose that since it's played at the same time, it might just be considered part of the chord, simply being named a Cadd9 chord, making that D *NOT* a non-chord tone. Just thinking out loud I guess.
Here is a silly question... what do you call in a C Major chord.... C down to A back up to C? Is that a neighbor tone or an escape tone? The first C is on the beat with a dotted 8th to a 16th A and back to C on beat 2.
Analysis is both interpretive as well as descriptive. Sometimes the notes of a chord are present, but we choose not to describe that chord as being functionally present based on the nature of the music and the chord progression.

Learned way more about NCTs here than in my hour long musicianship class. Thank you!
Exactly exactly
Was having trouble remembering the difference of these for my midterm tomorrow - this is sooooo helpful. Thank you so much!
Fantastic video!!! thank you so much
I will be recommending you to ALL my students from now on!!! Your channel is like a free audiobook of my undergrad theory book.
thanks so much for these videos, ive been binge watching them and learned a lot
Thanks David. First time music theory student here. Your video really helps.
Your music theory teaching videos are beyond perfect. Very helpful, thank you so very much.
This is an amazing video. So clear. Great examples and the recap was stellar. Impeccable work

Crisp & Clear. Thank you 💓
this was extremely helpful for understanding and recognizing the non chord tones. thank you so much for making this! 🙏
I missed theory class yesterday and I have a final due. You’re a lifesaver!
This was a fantastic video with great examples! Thank you!

Great video, clear and easy to understand

thanks for sharing! love when we encounter these ideas out in the real musical world.
Wow!!!!! Thank you for helping me understand this. It is so much clearer now! XXXOOO!!!!!!!
I totally understand them. This tutorial is great. Thank you so much.
oh, thank you! very comprehensive explanation;
I'm a drummer. This actually helped my dumbass pass my theory class. THANK YOU!
Thankyou so much for your explanation!! It was very clear :) i have exam tomorrow and you saved me 😁
Thank you so much
Watching this to study for AP Music Theory final!
I think that the sixth interval is not regarded as a dissonant interval 5:39
Fantastic teach

I'm still not getting the suspensions
Thank you sir!!

The A natural is a 6th which makes the C harmony an Amin harmony so wouldnt we say that it is a chord tone but one that changes the chord to Amin?

Thank you
Can we then say Neighboring tone is the same as Auxiliary
Where is the pedal tone??? 😮
What about pedal point?
Escape Tones are mostly on strong or weak beat?
mostly weak!
Wish you would actually ‘play’ these examples. Good and to the point video tho.
Thank you so much!
