I've been a music teacher for 40 years and also have a Theory/Comp degree. Your video is fabulous in taking a fairly complex topic for young composers and making it very understandable. Bravo!!!
Thanks for this instruction. Self learners often work on increasing proficiency with technical pieces like Czerny but hardly delve into anything but the notes on the page. You have cracked the door open to another dimension of music never explored.
Hi, if I could just make a small suggestion, maybe if you could take a simple song like Yankee Doodle and apply the different typed of modulation to show as examples to make it a little easier. Thanks, your videos are an excellent source of information, Pat.
That's s good suggestion. Yankee Doodle would be a good song to use for these types of examples. I'm adding this to my list of video topics I plan to use soon! Thank you.
Thank You for the wonderful way of explaining this to me. I have a little trouble with the concepts of jazz theory. I just don't quit have my mind wrapped around it yet. So learning it described in this manner really helps! Regards!
Thanks a lot for the Chopin Cm example! At least I understand what happens there. How does he come back to Cm though? I just discovered your channel: you are a great teacher, I think your channel is among the best in terms of quality, up there with Music Matters and David Benett. I cannot wait to learn more of this useful stuff for my own music productions.
Thank you so much for your support. So how does Chopin get back to Cm? Well, he goes on quite a journey. He goes from the Ab chord directly to G7, but then takes a detour by going to C7, which leads to Fm, which leads to Cm. But in the next measure he borrows a chord from G major, and it seems to jump to the key of G, but the final chord of of measure 4 leads us directly back to Cm, after which we have that amazing stretch of chromatic chord changes. This prelude is certainly worthy of further study!
@@athomewithmusic8698 Wow! Thats fascinating. I'd love to hear more about how different composers handle modulation/tonicization. Love that you used Elton John to exemplify 'tonicization' in this video still not exactly sure of the difference but you've flagged something that I now know to look out for. Thanks. I've always loved and been in awe of how "Goodbye Yellowbrick Road" delights me every time with its harmonic wandering. I'd love to hear more on this sort of thing. Your video here was absolutely fabulous, so clear and helpful. Thanks a million.
As a former drum kit player I have recently taken up tenor sax. As a drummer I was never exposed to music theory nor reading music, other than drum notation which is a different type of note reading. Therefore, with the sax I'm on the theory journey plus reading music notation and trying to understand another musical language is proving challenging, your tutorial has shed light on the mystery of modulation for me. Thank you, and I trust there is more in the pipeline.👍
I'm so glad the tutorial shed some light on modulation for you! Your support means a lot, and yes, there are definitely more tutorials coming your way.
3:20 Yes, but what if your example is a *_true_* modulation resolving to a borrowed chord from the previous key, with the borrowed chord actually receiving the tonicisation treatment?
Thank you, Sir. I learned the different modulation names and processes. It would be more beneficial to provide the sheet music of the examples you cited. Love from India
Many of the videos have supplementary materials, which are available to patrons of the channel. They're basically just printable versions of what you see in the videos. Thanks for watching!
I've known about this for a while, but my keyboard skills weren't advanced enough to apply it. That's changing, and this comes at a good time. You mentioned Gordon Lightfoot and the Edmond Fitzgerald. Did you know that every cent he's made from royalties has gone to the families of the crew? Much respect to Gordon.
I'm glad the video will be helpful to you. I knew about how all the royalties from the sales of Gordon Lightfoot's song go to the families of the crew of the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald. I always thought that it was a tremendous gesture on his part.
Excellent video but the Mozart example, a minor to C major is parallel mode. Is that really a modulation? But there's a part when it modulates to A major later on.
They certainly are! I've always been a fan of both of them. In fact I even saw them live several years ago when they went on tour together. They will certainly be showing up in some future videos!
Oh well, it was the first one that came to mind. There are undoubtedly better examples I could’ve used. If I ever get to meet Rick Beato we can talk about it!

Please keep going with the modulation videos. Nobody is explaining Modulation properly on the internet. This video is invaluable. Thanks
I have certainly not exhausted this subject! I will definitely be doing more teaching about modulation. Thanks for watching!
this was wonderful!! thank you 🎹
I'm glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm always looking for ways to make these often complex topics understandable for beginners..
WOW Thank you so much for this!!!!
You're so welcome!
very clear explanation, and great style! :)

Thank you for your kind words! It's always rewarding to hear that my videos are helping fellow musicians explore music in new ways.
a concise, pleasant presentation - thank you very much
You are welcome!

@@athomewithmusic8698Thanks! I am going to print it out and follow along 😊
Excellent!
It would be great to do more like this, especially focusing on specific composers.
Thank you for the feedback! I'll definitely consider creating more content on specific composers. (e.g. Schubert was the master of crazy modulations!)
Yes! I vote for Elton John.
@@rebanelson607 He's definitely on the list!

3:20 Yes, but what if your example is a *_true_* modulation resolving to a borrowed chord from the previous key, with the borrowed chord actually receiving the tonicisation treatment?
This was a "what if" example, showing how it could have modulated from F to Ab.
Thank you, Sir. I learned the different modulation names and processes.

Sorry for the delayed reply. You can go to my Patreon page: www.patreon.com/leonolguin
@@athomewithmusic8698 Thank you so much, Sirji.
Here you are in the key of C, and now you are in KFC. What a modulation.
I'm afraid there are no KFCs near me. I'll have to modulate to Popeye's instead.
I've known about this for a while, but my keyboard skills weren't advanced enough to apply it. That's changing, and this comes at a good time.

I took that example from one of my old Music Theory books. Of course, it IS over 50 years old! But you're right, Mozart modulates to A major later on.
Super -perfekt 👍
Thanks for watching!
Yes. Pls do Elton John and Billy Joel. Both are great composers.
They certainly are! I've always been a fan of both of them. In fact I even saw them live several years ago when they went on tour together. They will certainly be showing up in some future videos!
Can’t agree with you on the Elton John modulation.
It’s using the Parallel Minor key.
Don’t get too angry. I also correct Beato. 😂
Oh well, it was the first one that came to mind. There are undoubtedly better examples I could’ve used. If I ever get to meet Rick Beato we can talk about it!
@@athomewithmusic8698 keep up the good work😊
I didn't know most of this - I'm self taught. This was very informative!
Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate your feedback.
👏👏👏💯🎹
Thanks for watching!
Dear sir… 🌞🎶🫶🏼🤸🏽♂️🙌🏼🖖🏼🙏🏼
Thanks for watching!
Phrase modulation is like direct modulation??
Yes, they are the same thing.
@athomewithmusic8698 Okay, thank you sir🫡
Thanks for this one. A great Sunday morning class for me❤
You're welcome!
After learning what and how, I’m finally learning why; It only took me 40 years. 😂
I'm glad to know that your are learning the "why's" of music.
