(At this time, the PDF is only available to Patreon supporters. Maybe in the future I will make it available for free or on a different website, which is why I don't specify the website in my video and just refer to it as a "link". This gives me flexibility for the future since I cannot edit my video later down the road once I've already posted it to UA-cam. My Patreon supporters make it possible for me to make these videos on UA-cam, and I like to thank them by providing them with bonus materials. If you like what I do, you can support me as well on Patreon for $5/month. Music is how I make my living, and I can't tell you what a big difference their support makes.)

You are a fantastic teacher! I love the way you break everything down into simple kindergarten terms. I'm over 65 but I've never learned music theory and it is a lot to grasp! I'm self taught and never learned to read music so thank you so much and keep up the good work. I'm sure my ukuele playing well improve greatly from Watching your videos.
I can relate Gracie, and I empathize with the challenge one faces while trying to sing and play simultaneously. I always used to tell people that singing while playing drums is like trying to recite “Little Miss Muffet” while flying a helicopter! No, I’ve never flown a helicopter, but you get the gist. Keep up the great work! You’re awesome!
What a wonderful way to encourage both accompanying yourself and improvisation.
I didn't express clearly in chat. I play guitar and learn song's and know it's hard to sing and play at same time. At any parties I am usually the one who knows all the words and what is especially annoying is once someone hears beginning hooks of songs they blurt out lyrics and don't even come in with the first word of the song which of course is very important...I try to play note for note renditions so I rearrange for example leads separate of lyrics when words normally sung on top of. Rebel Rebel (Bowie)...same riff, I can play for hours so cool but singing on top isn't the easiest but the 3 intro lines of just do do's and lyrics start on 4th is a natural transition and totally compliments your approach to singing and playing. What a marvelous coincidence..me learning the Rebel' and you having complimentary advice live premier. So cool!🤙😎.
I'm only a minute-and-a-half in and already find this video very insightful!
glad you think so!! :) :)
can you do singing tutorials? you are such beautiful singer and your teaching videos are seriously the best! Straight to the point and super understandable.
Okay glad to hear that’s something you’re interested! Maybe later down the road I can do some singing videos.. if there are any specific topic requests within singing let me know :)
@@GracieTerzian I was thinking the same thing. You have a way of singing that seems effortless but a voice as beautiful as yours is evidence of much effort. Can you give tips on how you do that?
You are a celestial musician. I am a big fan of your circle of fifths video.
Gracie, you're a born teacher :)
Wow, you are so the complete package. I am so grateful I found your channel. Thank you so much!!!
Dear Gracie,
I am discovering Music Theory through your UA-cam videos; I find them truly engaging, pedagogical, and motivating. I particularly appreciate your careful organization and skillful presentation of the material covered; your use of progressively complex examples enforces and significantly facilitates learning. I wish I had instructors like you back when I was a student. Thank you, very much for your dedication, commendable efforts and commitment to teaching thousands of students, musicians. and music enthusiasts around the World. You are an example to follow!

Thank you so much Yuri!! What a kind and thoughtful comment! I greatly appreciate your words!!
Clearist lesson on learning to sing and play together.Bells started ringing with this new knowledge.(especially,2 separate rythems together)
So happy to hear that!!
The best lesson ever.always trying to quantise everything to a single beat or rythem finding it as pointed out in the lesson and spending years getting nowhere.
This method helped me so much when I was just beginning my Middle Aged Musical Mystery Tour and learning to play the ukulele. 10 months later, I’m back, because what’s happened is that I’m so locked in with the island strum, I keep defaulting to it when trying to learn a new strumming pattern/rhythm when singing a new song. So, I have to start all over to break my voice free again. 😂
I'm so glad you found this method helpful! Haha it's easy to become a prisoner of the island strum!!! BREAK FREE!!!! :) :) :)
Can’t wait to share this with my ukulele club. This is a frequent topic that comes up with beginning players. Recording yourself and then playing along is a great idea. Going to try this with some tricky strumming patterns tomorrow. Thanks!
Gracie thanks and you have a lovely voice
Wow! I need to take my playing singing to the next level - and you’ve showed me how! Thanks.
Woohoo! lots of love Aunt Anne :) :) :)
@@GracieTerzian Humming/whistling are great places 2 start.
Gracie my dear, you always do such a marvelous job teaching! My big problem is try to play solos or fills while singing. You help this ole fella a bunch. Thx say hi to the family
Oof yeah playing solos or fills while singing is even harder!!! Good luck and thank you for the nice comment James :)
This is very useful information, thank you Gracie
thank your for sharing your knowledge !!!!
You are a wonderful teacher!
You have a lovely voice. Really like listening to you talk and sing. You always have wonderful printing skills. What a jewel you are!!! Thanks so much for being so generous with your knowledge and skill base.
Really valuable video. Thanks for sharing.
So glad you think so!
Gracie: YOU ARE A GENIUS 🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎼🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶🎤♥️
Great advice, thanks! This has always been challenging for me. Now I think I can do it!
Great to hear! Good luck :) :) :)
Great help, I struggle with singing and playing at the same time.
I can imagine the HEAVY METAL staccato "singin in the rain" 3 or 4 times in a single measure. I'm so sure it would sell!
hahahaha
Very good methodical instruction! You are a good teacher! I struggled with singing while playing for a long time, now I only struggle with singing nicely :D
Thanks so much Gracie, it's always great to hear your beautiful singing. If only I could sing but this at least gives me the confidence to try.
Love Your Informative And Eclectic Presentations ~
I Can not Believe You Don't Have a Million Subscribers ~
Thank you so much!!!!!
I especially liked the "Flying Lizards" part. Ms. Gracie sure gets the point across.
This is so cool! Great ideas and fun presentation
So glad you think so!
You are an amazing music teacher! Thank you for this!
Oh, and you have a lovely voice!
Y're the best !👍
Thanks!
You’re welcome! :)
Thanks, Gracie, for the great tips! I love playing the song, "That's the Way" by Led Zeppelin, but find it impossible to sing to while strumming along with the guitar. The guitar definitely has a different cadence/rhythm from the sung melody. I am going to try your suggestions of recording the guitar part with a metronome then try to "dry strum" and sing along with it. I think with a lot of practice I can get it. (Geddy Lee of Rush would play bass with his hands, organ(?) pedals with his feet AND sing a melody at the same time. Amazing.) P.S. The main thing I took away from this video is, "PLAY WITH IT!!!" Try different combinations of singing and strumming until you finally get the sound you want.
Awesome lesson Gracie! Beautiful Voice!
I’m having the same problem with piano playing too. Left & right hand with different rhythms, but trying to add the vocals just throws me off. I’ll try this on piano.
Could you do this lesson on piano too?
👍🙂/ That was the most beautiful voice I've ever heard singing that tune ...and you are the most graceful human being/ musician/ teacher I think I've ever seen! That was excellent! ... And that was the first time in all my year's I've ever come across anyone showing how to sing/ play at the same time! That was miraculous!
I'm actually not looking to sing and play 🎸 at the same time but thought I would check out the vid as I find/ found it interesting indeed !
I could never sing/ play 🎸 at the same time ... I'm ambidextrous (some kind of strangely odd ambidextrous anyway ha! ... I have it pinpointed to that and the reason I could never do both at the same time! ...I think that has a lot to do with it anyway ... : singing and playing ain't happening ...my brain and hand's stop/ shut right down ...I've tried! ...I don't think I'm the greatest sounding yodeling yodeler either ...so I'll stick with the playing only thank you ha! 😀.
This was an excellent vid/ lesson!!! 👍!
You are gifted beyond Gracie ... thank you for the lesson's I've seen 🙂-
Have a wonderful Merry Christmas ahead to you, your's and all 🎄🙂

Ms. Gracie, do you have lessons on instructions for transposing music.
:)
I guess music is just mechanics.
We have to practice the mechanics so that we don’t have to think about it anymore.. then we can then get lost in the musicality and expression of what we are playing. But the mechanics have to be confidently there underneath.
plus your very beautiful its hard to stay on the earning, but i can do it
Awesome video! But an iPhone?.. **facepalm**
