    I am a self taught keyboard player and have gain a tremendous amount of knowledge through videos like this. I have heard the circle of 5th explained a number of times, and each time I learned a bit more. But this is the first time ,I can honestly say ,that it was explained so thoroughly, so comprehensively by his fantastic teaching ability, that I can go to sleep now knowing the value of the Circle of 5th. Thank You.

    I just want to endorse all that you've said. Myself as a former music teacher and professional musician, it cannot be stressed how important this information is. Fortunately for me, when I was a child, my piano teacher drilled all of this information into me pretty thoroughly. On the practical side and as an organist, I was invited to perform with a dance orchestra years ago but there was no music for me to follow plus many of the pieces used were unfamiliar to me. I was sitting close to the pianist and I simply asked him what key each piece or song was in. From there, even if I had no idea of the tune, I could play a meaningful accompaniment which seemed to surprise many other people. Knowledge of the Circle of Fifths was so helpful plus a knowledge of primary or principal chords. The rest of it was all very predictable because most music follows fairly standard guidelines. If you, as a reader, are an early learner, start to memorise the Circle of Fifths and it will stand you in very good stead for your musical future. When I was teaching (I'm now 76 and now retired) I also gave my students a simple way of remembering the order of sharps which was, "Fry's Chorcolates Give Delight After Every Bite". The flats are the same letters in reverse or you can remember the word BEAD - then add GCF. There are many ways of making the order stick in the memory and that's just one. If by chance, you play Piano Accordion, the bass buttons are arranged in the same order.

  • @houstonsam6163
    @houstonsam6163 4 роки тому +1

    Finally someone made every principle and pattern clear; all the other Circle of Fifths explanatory videos and web sites can be taken down. You've reduced the entire problem to only remembering four things : 7th interval of the key for sharps, fourth for flats, each sharp or flat then determines the same key falling farther down in the circle, and relative minor is a third interval lower than the corresponding major. And you've explained why some describe the flat side as intervals of fifths, while others describe it as intervals of fourths.
    I regularly tell young people that all education is auto-didactic; teachers don't really teach anything, they provide structure for self-teaching. Sir, you have proven me wrong.

How long does it take to lear the music theory from grade 1 to 8 , my disadvantage is age, I am 66, retired and quite healthy. Is my age a hinderance to go for this hobby.

    What an excellent video. The circle of 5ths is such an important cornerstone in musical understanding and this is the best explanation I have seen of it, especially the way in which it demonstrates the link to the relative minor keys and key signatures. Well worth a watch whether you are new to music or an experienced player.

    I made a very conscious effort to learn and understand the circle of fifths. I finally have got it and it's a very powerful tool. As a songwriter who didn't know my keys, I often hunted and pecked around the keyboard to find chords and melodies that sounded good together. Now I have a roadmap which tells me exactly how to find them. Also, I never knew how to transpose. The circle makes it easy. This is the best, most useful bit of music theory I've found.

    I cannot express how much you have helped me. I used to think that learning theory was a waste of time and would focus mostly on building up my technique. But not anymore (thanks to your epic explanations). The theory I've learnt from you and my music teacher has helped me bring another layer of depth to my violin, piano and guitar playing and even try my hand at composing. Most people who try teaching (anything really) just show off and try to convince everyone of how good they are in their chosen profession. But you never do that. You are humble and a delight to watch. THANK YOU so very much for what you do. My kindest regards to you, my dear sir.

    This is so clear, and so fascinating! I cannot get over how many correlations there are within the Circle of Fifths! The patterns, the maths that check out... It's incredible! Thank you so much for this, I subscribed and I'm looking forward to watching other videos from you :D 🤩💖

    Thank you so much! I have been playing and composing music for decades and I have some weak areas due to my impatience. I just want to move on to making music! But that caused me to jump over getting good theoretical grounding in those areas. I am at a point where I am identifying those weak areas and strengthening them. The circle of fifths has always mystified me but you helped me demystify it so that I can better use it as a composition tool. I am a teacher at heart, regardless of the subject. Your approach to teaching inspires me deeply.
    Again, THANK YOU!

    Thank you so much! I never heard any instructor explained so clear and so detail. I was so confuse the circle of fifths since my instructor only showed us one or two samples. Basically, I need to pre-study and search from online to get some help and still confuse with why F#, C#..... Since I am just a beginner, it is hard to find a step by step music theory teaching program. I was very lucky to see this video before I plan to quit my class. . You are a super teacher with lots of patience. I really appreciate for your precious time! God blessings!
