    I am also an ex-professional ballet dancer as well as being a musician. I have had many, many, many different teachers over the years. One thing I have always believed is that a good teacher can take an otherwise obscure idea and explain it in such a way that the student gets it. One teacher can "explain" things one way, another can "explain" the SAME THING in a different way. And then one teacher comes along and explains it in a way that makes the light bulb go on.

    I prefer watching your videos Ma'am Gracie. Your way of explaning everything was so systematic and I was able to digest the whole video and to apply it whenever I practise playing guitar. I already did watch your previous video about circle of 4ths and fifths; it was simpler yet I was able to to grasp and understand the whole concept of it, dissimilar to other videos I had watched, they were all perplexing for me. I'm hoping to see this kind of videos of you in the future to help me and others to improve way we play our instruments and most importantly upgrade the level of our knowledge about these concepts.. Thank you so much..

    Where have you been hiding all my life, I could have progressed so much further years ago if you were in my life.
    Of course you were probably not even a thought from your parents minds back years ago when I could have learned something about music theory. I actually learnt relative minors back in the mid 80s from a keyboard player I was in a band with in Germany. He was an amazing musician and really helped me to have an appreciation for theory as a means to communicate with other musicians. You on the other hand just explain it so easily to understand. That the ah-ha moments are almost overwhelming. And this all leads into modes and intervals as well...
    Thank You...
