    My skill levels are way below this but I discovered early on your channel. One year ago I quickly looked for subtitles but the only two possibilities given to me were Greek and Chinese. Four months ago I looked for the subtitles but the suggestion was sightreading. Since then I have been sightreading Bach 2 voice chorales every day. My teacher wants me to practice them and at the end play the 3 and 4 voice chorales anyway. The two voice chorales are becoming slightly easier, the 3 and 4 voice are laughingly manageable, and Bob's your uncle.
    Today I followed the lecture fairly well. I didn't even look at the subtitles. The chords aren't jumping off the staves yet, stumbling would be a better description. But I really have to thank you for being an excellent maestro.

    I really like your teaching, with very in depth knowledge. 10 minutes before you hit the piano is a bit long to wait however. Would be nice with more audible examples.

    Hi, brilliant video! I learned a great deal from this thank you.
    Just out of curiosity, what software do you use to display what you play on the piano/keyboard??

    • @MusicMattersGB

      Thanks for your comment, glad it was useful. The keyboard software is called 'Midikeys' by Manyetas.

    please do some videos on counting rhythms. I know that the top number in a time signature tells how many beats in a measure. I also know that if the bottom number is a four, then the quarter note gets the beat, if the bottom number is an 8, then the eighth note gets the beat, C means common time, C with a slash through it means cut time. However, i need help with how to count rhythms, and recognizing odd time signatures and count them. please upload videos on this.

    Thanks for all the lessons…how nice if u could use some colour pen n if your white board can place nearer to the camera as it is rather too tiny to watch

    Do you have free video or sell video specifically about figured bass?

    • @MusicMattersGB
      @MusicMattersGB  8 місяців тому

      Yes. If you search the channel you’ll find figured bass.

    Wouldn’t it just be easier to write this in 3/4. I get that 3/2 can be useful with faster moving rhythm but this is quite chorale like. I know it’s not the point of the video but I often wonder this with pieces of music, using 3/2 instead of 3/4 for example. Just asking.

    • @MusicMattersGB

      Very fair question. It’s up to the composer to decide which way to notate it.

    Hi.
    Can't chord vii be substituted for chord V7? Because V7 contains the vii chord, just with V as the root. Could you also do a video about this this topic in a minor melody? Thanks.

      +MrHossen1223
      Hi. It's true that Vll is the same as V7if you remove the root from V7, which is why Vll is sometimes a good substitute for V. However the root of V7 makes it a much stronger chord. Also Vll is much more useful in first inversion as root position Diminished chords tend to be weak with the emphasis on the Diminished 5th interval within the chord.

    Why is Eb the third of the triad?

    • @MusicMattersGB
      @MusicMattersGB  3 роки тому +1

      Eb would be the third of a C minor triad for example CEbG.

    • @emanndaman8315
      @emanndaman8315 3 роки тому

      Oh ok, so looking from figured bass 6 with a note on eb means that Eb is essentially the root? But doesn’t first inversion mean that eb will go to the 6 not the third? sorry im a little confused

    • @MusicMattersGB
      @MusicMattersGB  3 роки тому

      In the C minor chord (CEbG) C is always the root, Eb is always the 3rd and G is always the 5th. When in first inversion that is defined by placing the 3rd at the bottom of the chord. When in second inversion that is defined by placing the 5th at the bottom of the chord.

    Hi Gareth, after taking grade 5 theory, do you have to do grade 6, then 7 and then 8? or can you just do grade 8 theory after you have done grade 5?

    Can you make more videos of simple and compound time in level 6? That’s my weakness. Oh, and by the way, I’m a new viewer and I already love your videos! Thanks!!!
