@@warriorspirit210I mean, UA-cam is not directly paying him to make this video, but he does make money from the ads on his videos provided UA-cam allows him to monetize them (given the amount of songs in here it’s entirely possible it’s just not monetized at all)
I can’t believe this is a free video. With SOOOO many people trying to capitalize on peoples passion for music, it’s refreshing to see someone just GIVE knowledge away like this. Thank you so much for this!
Years ago, the mentality around me was "keep your secrets, you need to keep your secret sauce to be successful in music". Then I realised I learnt everything from people sharing their knowledge on internet, so I started doing the same. I guess that came from a different place than anyone trying to capitalise on anything ^^
Lmao, this is not free and he is capitalizing on this information. He's getting paid to minimize a very large and intricate subject into an oversimplified UA-cam video so that people will watch looking for answers and information but only receive a superficial variation of it. Now, me explaining that to you was free! You're welcome.
I'm 20 years old, and I've always wanted to learn music but never dared to do so. I am now fulfilling my inner child's desires, and this video has helped so much !!! It is never too late to make your dreams come true. Thank you very much, I really appreciate this. You are a great person for providing this information for free.
I'm 15, in musical theatre, trying to learn a little more about music so I know what the people around me are talking about. When I was younger, my grandma tried to teach me about music and how to play the piano, but I always refused. She always told me that I'd regret it and I knew, even then, that she was right, I just didn't want to work for it. Thank you for this video!
Dude you could still learn how to play an instrument and learn it well. At 15, your brain is still flexible! I would highly encourage you, even if it's just for a year, to take some classes on some instrument that interests you, often music schools have instruments for rent etc, and it's a huge bonus for discipline (in practicing), and also helping your brain to learn how to learn better! (Obviously I don't expect you to do what I've done, which is almost 11 years of violin with over 3500 hours invested XD)
As someone learning music theory and started playing in his mid 40s, with an engineer background, this video is pure gold. A big thank you, I always come back to it.
Thanks! I don't plan to take it down ever. I even have a written version of my website and I'm building a pdf version of the transcript for my patreons. So there should always be a way to access it all :)
In february of this year, I didnt know absolutely nothing about music theory, but thanks to this video I learned so much, I literally studied all around this video for the entire year! It really introduced me into the topics about music theory, I just got everything Woochia talks about and got deep in the topic! Thank you my friend! I can do a lot of things with all this knowledge!
That's amazing! And it's worth noting that the hard work came from you! It's one thing to have the info available, but learning it to the point that you can actually use it, that's on you. Congrats!
I reference this video ALL THE TIME. At least 45 views of this video are mine… And probably another 60 from people I’ve directed to it. This video is by far the most masterful and comprehensive way of showing you how and why music and sound does what it does. What I especially love is he breaks everything down in such a way that even a complete beginner can understand, while also making the knowledge feel valuable to experts without it feeling dumbed down. That is very difficult to do in anything you try to explain, but music is such a uniquely complex subject, I honestly can’t imagine anyone doing a better job than this… AND FOR FREE?? People pay big big money for what he’s teaching in this video… For the sweet sake of f-k… Please, AT LEAST, thank this man for this video. Bravo, my man. Bravo. >M
bro i dont wanna refer to myself as a beginner or an expert but .... i dont understand it ! how many times iv seen it i dont... maybe accept and give up .... thougth to pay money too but if this is for free and still dont get it ... man its a deadend .... why ! i wanna too say something positive about it too but i can not seem to find it
Currently studying music theory for the first time at 18, this video has been such a great reasource to come back to every time i need to make sense of something, and it also really jumpstarted the process, thanks a million!
I've been playing music now for over 10 years without any knowledge of proper music theory. Now I'm really trying to push to be a professional musician, so i thought its finally time to learn. Thank you for making this so easy! Your explanations and examples make this an absolute gem. This feels like I'm taking a College course for free! You deserve a lot more for the effort you put into this.
Just came across this video while brushing up on some theory ideas - What a pleasure to realise it's the wonderful Woochia, whose brilliant music I've blogged about in the past. Hope you're doing well, seems like things are going awesomely - much deserved, congrats!
It's a pleasure to see you here! Things are good, I've just started working on an album, which means I still have time to do the things I love 👌 Also hope you're doing well! All the best.
Thank you so much! Videos as long as these that are FREE is a really kind gift to all of us struggling to progress through our musical journey. I want to let you know we are very grateful 🙏
This music theory collection of videos complied into 1 video is by far the top video on UA-cam and I have watched hundreds as being self taught keep going bro!! You’re a legend already 💪🏾💪🏾🙏🏾
I'm a HS music student and I was never taught proper music theory, this video just SAVED ME from a life of misery because I want to pursue music at the collegiate level.
This is the first video that actually made me take notes in a notebook that isn't school related. Your video is very informative and well edited that I was interested of taking notes unlike the other videos I watched.
5th time through and it's all beginning to come together, a few more times on the 9th chords and modulation and I should fully understand it. I appreciate this so much as I learned at my own pace and was able to put everything into practice as I learned. You are an amazing human being for this. I thank you deeply for helping me through this.
charly you are truly a hero for uploading this. think about how much music and musical enjoyment you have blossomed from all the people learning from this video. a beautiful legacy, thankyou brother.
Wow, thanks for putting hours of work into this video, besides years of learning about music theory. People, well some people, don’t understand why we should appreciate people like you. 🙏
Sir, you my friend, are amazing. You took sooo much time on this. You did an amazing job and you didn’t even charge for it. The video itself was like a journey from… ‘this is called a key on a piano, a piano is an instrument that creates music through sound waves, sound waves are the vibration of the air that vibrates the ear drum and is received as music when it is vibrated at certain frequencies. Frequencies….. hahaha amazing, incredible and in all ways phenomenal 🏅✨ Thank you
This video finally made all the bits and pieces of music theory I knew fall into their place. Yes, it's dense, and I watched some segments more than once to get it, but oh boy, now it all makes sense. Thank you so much!
You're welcome :) if you're interested, there's a pdf document I created that sum up everything told in this music theory series. You can download it for free from my website woochia.com ;)
Most amazing job ever done on youtube and I am not even reached half of this lecture while putting this comment, God bless you bro with all the success you deserve
I've done instructional videos before and I know how much work is behind things like this. 3 hours of content but likely over a hundred hours of work. Thank you so much for this!
Your videos are always so dense with information that I pause to take notes every three seconds! Love it, thank you. These are some of the most helpful instructional videos I've ever seen!
Thank you sooo much!! I play by ear and it’s been very challenging not really knowing the “rules” and knowing them is a total game changer for my productions! The biggest issue was organizing the information but you did that so well with this video!!! THANK YOU!!!

Having watched the top played videos, those 'Half hour music theory' only leave me with more questions. Also grateful for someone finally stopped demonstrating keyboard with their hands on
The reality is, I've been in ensembles since elementary school, studied primary instruments for years, and taken 10+ theory courses in my time as a music educator. I still feel like I haven't seen, heard, or learned it all. However, this is a great 3 hour introduction or review of how SIMPLE learning music can be with practice.
Wow, this video has opened my mind. I have studied harmonics for 1 year as a part of my college syllabus(EEE). But never have I thought this is how harmonic study creates music. I have to improvise my prior knowledge with this new one and see how synchronizing helps to appreciate the beauty of music and Power electronics.
Thank you, i always wondered how actual frequences related to notes and scales. As a linguistic student that have studied the actual sound waves of human speech and different phobemes its really interesting to see what makes a scale a scale
Just pure gold, no kid's games. I really do not know how can you share such knowledge for free, cause I have taken music theory course and had learnt maybe third of this. I will support your channel on my next salary :D . Thank you very much.
Thank you :) when I started out, I wanted both my courses to be free as I thought this was missing on UA-cam. But maybe I'm also a very bad businessman :p
I'm a beginner and English is not my first language, but you explained everything so clearly that I understood almost everything! I rarely leave comments like this, but it's the best I can do. thank you for this monumental work! 🙏
Amazing, thank you for sharing all this information in an easy to digest format, it’s made me realise for the first time that music theory was discovered rather than invented. Been taking lots of notes as I watch, this is a treasure trove of information! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge! Absolutely fascinating how fundamental sound concepts relate to music and what we like to hear etc!
It's just 10 mins in video and i have learned things that i didn't even learned in past 6 months . Damn its getting more interesting with the time Thanks for making this video brother
This is hands down the best music theory video on UA-cam! I wish I could digest all this information in 1 go, but it seems I'll have to come back to it regularly. Thank you so much for this series!
Thanks so much Sir for sharing the knowledge. I play lead guitar and am about applying what have learnt from you to my music knowledge. It really helpful. Kindly put we the lead guitarist into consideration in future lessons. Expect more likes, sharing and comment from colleagues coz i will inform all of them about how your channel have really help the musicians 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
I recently joined Sound engineering diploma and this will a great addition to it. Makes me want to go deep into sounds and music. Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge. Will keep seeing this course multiple times until it becomes familiar!!!😀😀🙏🙏🙏
00:27 🎶 Sound is defined as a vibration of air, which travels through particles, creating pressure changes. 01:11 🔊 Consonance is based on the simplest frequency ratio; lower ratios like 2:1 and 3:1 sound more harmonious. 03:11 🎼 The pentatonic scale, with five notes, is widely used across various music genres globally. 05:06 📏 Sounds generally vibrate at multiple frequencies, including fundamental and overtone frequencies, affecting tonal quality. 10:16 🔄 The circle of fifths is a method for tuning instruments that creates a specific order of notes based on harmonic relationships. 11:11 🐺 The wolf interval occurs when tuning fails to converge correctly, leading to dissonance in music scales. 13:46 ⚖ Equal temperament tuning equalizes intervals across the chromatic scale, allowing for versatile key changes but sacrificing some harmonic purity. 15:40 🏡 Major and minor scales differ based on their root notes, with relative minor scales sharing the same notes as major scales. 19:41 🎹 Chords are formed by a combination of root notes, thirds, and fifths, determining whether they sound major (happy) or minor (sad).
Thanks ! I know the pace is kind of fast, so if you want to read it instead, don't hesitate to check my website woochia.com. it's free on there as well
NB: the root note of a scale must be called Tonic, not Fundamental. Because Fundamental refers to a chord. Tonic, (like Dominant, etc..), refers to the scale (inside which chords can be made.) Important because it must be clear that in a scale we have only one Tonic (or Dominant, ... ), but... seven possible Fundamentals (one chord per note, so seven chords, each one with a different Fundamental). Apart from that, been up to 16mn now, very good job. Congratulations.
I expected this to be yet another half-baked music theory video where you teach the basics until the complicated stuff and then complicate it even further to hide the explanation behind a paywall. But I am surprised how good this video is, I've only been halfway through, but I know this is going to be extremely helpful. I usually watch these kinds of videos at 1.5x or even 2x at times but this one has soo much info packed into each sentence that it is unmissable. Serious Kudos.
This is absolutely fantastic; I’ve been studying theory from different sources, but I’ve always felt like said sources were just dumping a bunch of notions on me - THIS is different, it’s explaining the “why”s in a quite satisfying way and I love it. I had already liked the video, but when I heard the 4th pun I instinctively reached for the thumbs up again 🤣🤣🤣
Did some cadence practice and had so much fun! After I was finished did I come to the realization that I was trying to make every scale degree a major chord and I was wondering why they would not fit in the scale. I learned multiple lessons in that exercise and I look forward to any other exercises coming my way!
I'm only 5 minutes in and I bought a comfortable pen and brand new notepad to literally transcribe this as I'm great with vocals but have no musical training. This is AMAZING
I'm holding a pen and a stack of A4 stack of papers at work and writing down some notes, I've playing guitar for 7 years but I never fully understood music, and this guy is breaking it down to pieces, I believe music is the closest we came to real magic and it's my life's goal to create it
OMG thank you, bro! You made it all click for me...great approach. Fundamentals...waves...the entire universe is waves... frequency...harmony...phasing...waves.
It's absolutely comprehensive 👏👏👏👏 thanks for your help bringing all in one video. Bits and pieces learnt all these years and in perspective we could visualise it is complete picture of music theory. Easy to relate each other and memorization, Thank you 🙏
How a wonderful course. Thank you so much. I studied frequency in Doctorate Degree. Music and Frequency are an engineering science. Your video is so detailed. You surprised me so pleasedly.
Damn this is comprehensive…
When I saw “complete” music theory I was thinking it would start with the major scale. This beast starts with the actual relationships between frequencies. Such a treasure of a video
Real
It's hard to believe someone has made such an incredible milestone entirely FOR FREE. I'm from Venezuela and things are quite fucked up and cannot study music at college. Thank you for everything, new sub and like. 🙏🏼
I'm glad this helps :) hope you have a good time studying music theory here ;)
Free for us but he is not doing it for free because youtube is paying him.
This is an awesome video.
I would also search for "Rick Beato music theory" and check out his many music theory and film scoring videos.
Howard Goodall also has nice documentaries like 'Howard's Goodall's Big Bangs of Music' that you may like.
Also look up Leonard Bernsteins series 'The Unanswered Question' (here on You Tube) that he did at Harvard
@Woochia's Beats & Bobs you are a wonderful person
@@warriorspirit210I mean, UA-cam is not directly paying him to make this video, but he does make money from the ads on his videos provided UA-cam allows him to monetize them (given the amount of songs in here it’s entirely possible it’s just not monetized at all)
these videos are so great. after 7 years of "playing by ear" everything makes sense. i'm about to cry
😂
😅
same😢
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Literally me too!! 😂
Bro out here giving his music degree for free, massive respects
I can’t believe this is a free video. With SOOOO many people trying to capitalize on peoples passion for music, it’s refreshing to see someone just GIVE knowledge away like this. Thank you so much for this!
Years ago, the mentality around me was "keep your secrets, you need to keep your secret sauce to be successful in music". Then I realised I learnt everything from people sharing their knowledge on internet, so I started doing the same. I guess that came from a different place than anyone trying to capitalise on anything ^^
@@Woochia Give first, receive later. You realised you have a higher purpose.
@@Woochia yeah it's kinda fucked up when someone tries to keep something in secret as if they learned whole music by themselves without others help
you can go to a library and check out a book, but ok.
Lmao, this is not free and he is capitalizing on this information. He's getting paid to minimize a very large and intricate subject into an oversimplified UA-cam video so that people will watch looking for answers and information but only receive a superficial variation of it. Now, me explaining that to you was free! You're welcome.
I'm 20 years old, and I've always wanted to learn music but never dared to do so. I am now fulfilling my inner child's desires, and this video has helped so much !!! It is never too late to make your dreams come true. Thank you very much, I really appreciate this. You are a great person for providing this information for free.
thankyou for your review
now i know that i dont need to search anymore and watch this onw
Thank you very much. This kind of comment means a lot, really. Hope you have a great time exploring music theory:)
20 years old and you feel late? I am 42 mate.
you're 20, you ARE a child. keep going 👍🏻
Same 🥹 never had an opportunity to pursue a music degree so now I’m doing what I can to learn music
This is a very good example of Humanity. The efford, all the content and clear instructions and all free!!!! We can not thank you enough. All the best

2:16:51: There are 11 different types of ninth chords to experiment with in compositions.
2:21:38: Harmonizing melodies using different chord progressions and extended chords.
2:32:04: A diminished seventh chord can be resolved a semitone above, either major or minor, or to a chord with the same root note, either major or minor.
2:36:59: The main point is to understand and use different chords in a scale.
2:47:36: Different chord progressions in various modes
Having watched the top played videos, those 'Half hour music theory' only leave me with more questions. Also grateful for someone finally stopped demonstrating keyboard with their hands on
The reality is, I've been in ensembles since elementary school, studied primary instruments for years, and taken 10+ theory courses in my time as a music educator.
I still feel like I haven't seen, heard, or learned it all. However, this is a great 3 hour introduction or review of how SIMPLE learning music can be with practice.
Thanks a lot for your feedback! Coming from a music educator, that means a lot :)

Thank you so much for making this! I had so much fun learning music theory at home with you!
Thanks a lot, glad you liked it :)
This is exactly what I wanted
A long video explaining all the details in music theory
Simple and beautiful explanation
Thank you
Wow, this video has opened my mind. I have studied harmonics for 1 year as a part of my college syllabus(EEE). But never have I thought this is how harmonic study creates music.
I have to improvise my prior knowledge with this new one and see how synchronizing helps to appreciate the beauty of music and Power electronics.
Woochia, you're a legend. I can't wait to work through this video! Thank you so much.
The cadences section of this video has really helped me with chord progressions! Thank you!
Cool! You're welcome :)
Thank you, i always wondered how actual frequences related to notes and scales.
As a linguistic student that have studied the actual sound waves of human speech and different phobemes its really interesting to see what makes a scale a scale
Just pure gold, no kid's games. I really do not know how can you share such knowledge for free, cause I have taken music theory course and had learnt maybe third of this. I will support your channel on my next salary :D . Thank you very much.
Thank you :) when I started out, I wanted both my courses to be free as I thought this was missing on UA-cam. But maybe I'm also a very bad businessman :p
@@Woochia Or you are just a great personn who thinks about comuniity to grow rather than ego satisfaction , thank u very much once again🥰🥰🥰
This is by far the best music theory course I could find on the internet, and it's free ! Thank you so much
Thanks! :)
That was graet!
You are changing the world by giving these educational content for free
Greetings from israel!
Thanks!
Wow! The skill, the detail, the order, the sense!
Watching your video is like a summary of all music theory lessons I ever got (or will get). Great!
I'm a beginner and English is not my first language, but you explained everything so clearly that I understood almost everything! I rarely leave comments like this, but it's the best I can do. thank you for this monumental work! 🙏
Thanks a lot :) I'm so glad that helped
i admire the fact that you could give us who can't afford music school a chance to educate ourselves. You are deeply appreciated.
Thank you very much, and it's my pleasure :)
Amazing, thank you for sharing all this information in an easy to digest format, it’s made me realise for the first time that music theory was discovered rather than invented. Been taking lots of notes as I watch, this is a treasure trove of information! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge! Absolutely fascinating how fundamental sound concepts relate to music and what we like to hear etc!
Been playing for 2 years. This video is fantastic!!! Thank you so much 👏
Mad respect for literally putting out a 3 hour course for FREE on yt
It's just 10 mins in video and i have learned things that i didn't even learned in past 6 months . Damn its getting more interesting with the time
Thanks for making this video brother
This has been the single best way to learn music theory for me and I can't believe such an incredible resource like this is free. Thanks so much!
I'm happy this was useful, thanks :)
This is like a service to humanity. I can't thank you enough. This is brilliant.
This is hands down the best music theory video on UA-cam! I wish I could digest all this information in 1 go, but it seems I'll have to come back to it regularly.
Thank you so much for this series!
Thanks! This was meant to be 28 videos put into one. I would be surprised if anyone could digest it all in one sitting 😅
Thanks so much Sir for sharing the knowledge. I play lead guitar and am about applying what have learnt from you to my music knowledge. It really helpful. Kindly put we the lead guitarist into consideration in future lessons. Expect more likes, sharing and comment from colleagues coz i will inform all of them about how your channel have really help the musicians 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
I stopped my music theory classes two years ago but this easily made me want to pick it back up. You're a real one for this. Thank you so much.
That's amazing! Hope you have a great time picking this up again :)
I recently joined Sound engineering diploma and this will a great addition to it. Makes me want to go deep into sounds and music. Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge. Will keep seeing this course multiple times until it becomes familiar!!!😀😀🙏🙏🙏
That was incredible. I have been learning bass for a while, and looking at this video, I finally understood everything. Many Thanks man. Really
Thank you bro...❤ You are doing a great work..all the best.
Thanks a lot :)
00:27 🎶 Sound is defined as a vibration of air, which travels through particles, creating pressure changes.
01:11 🔊 Consonance is based on the simplest frequency ratio; lower ratios like 2:1 and 3:1 sound more harmonious.
03:11 🎼 The pentatonic scale, with five notes, is widely used across various music genres globally.
05:06 📏 Sounds generally vibrate at multiple frequencies, including fundamental and overtone frequencies, affecting tonal quality.
10:16 🔄 The circle of fifths is a method for tuning instruments that creates a specific order of notes based on harmonic relationships.
11:11 🐺 The wolf interval occurs when tuning fails to converge correctly, leading to dissonance in music scales.
13:46 ⚖ Equal temperament tuning equalizes intervals across the chromatic scale, allowing for versatile key changes but sacrificing some harmonic purity.
15:40 🏡 Major and minor scales differ based on their root notes, with relative minor scales sharing the same notes as major scales.
19:41 🎹 Chords are formed by a combination of root notes, thirds, and fifths, determining whether they sound major (happy) or minor (sad).
This is the best music theory video I’ve ever seen, it makes perfect sense to me. Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome ! :)
Many books compressed in three hours. That's music to my two ears!
Haha enjoy ;)
Thank you for making this course, not easy stuff to comprehend but necessary if one is serious about understanding how music is constructed.
Thanks ! I know the pace is kind of fast, so if you want to read it instead, don't hesitate to check my website woochia.com. it's free on there as well
May God always bless people like you
NB: the root note of a scale must be called Tonic, not Fundamental.
Because Fundamental refers to a chord. Tonic, (like Dominant, etc..), refers to the scale (inside which chords can be made.)
Important because it must be clear that in a scale we have only one Tonic (or Dominant, ... ), but... seven possible Fundamentals (one chord per note, so seven chords, each one with a different Fundamental).
Apart from that, been up to 16mn now, very good job. Congratulations.
Yes you're right! I was not very rigorous on this terms in the beginning of this series ^^"
I expected this to be yet another half-baked music theory video where you teach the basics until the complicated stuff and then complicate it even further to hide the explanation behind a paywall. But I am surprised how good this video is, I've only been halfway through, but I know this is going to be extremely helpful. I usually watch these kinds of videos at 1.5x or even 2x at times but this one has soo much info packed into each sentence that it is unmissable. Serious Kudos.
Haha thanks. This is the compilation of about 2 years of tutorials I'd say. Maybe that's why it's so dense :)
30:46- 7.8.23
47:50 - 7.11.23
47:53 - 7.21.23. really understood
This is the best video about this topic I’ve ever seen! Thanks a lot for your great work!
Thanks a lot :)
You give me more than 16 years of education, THANK YOU
Wonderful video and amazingly clear explanations, will check the sound design next.
Hope Zoro and Sanji don't give too many problems over there :D
This is absolutely fantastic; I’ve been studying theory from different sources, but I’ve always felt like said sources were just dumping a bunch of notions on me - THIS is different, it’s explaining the “why”s in a quite satisfying way and I love it.
I had already liked the video, but when I heard the 4th pun I instinctively reached for the thumbs up again 🤣🤣🤣
Did some cadence practice and had so much fun! After I was finished did I come to the realization that I was trying to make every scale degree a major chord and I was wondering why they would not fit in the scale. I learned multiple lessons in that exercise and I look forward to any other exercises coming my way!
Incredible sequence of information. I'm finally understanding it all. I thank you for sharing this knowledge.
Happy if that unlocked something :) thanks
why are you so generous to us bro can't believe all this is available for free! Blessings follow you indeed!
I'm only 5 minutes in and I bought a comfortable pen and brand new notepad to literally transcribe this as I'm great with vocals but have no musical training. This is AMAZING
Nice ! I hope you find everything you need in it :) if it makes it easier to take notes, there's also the written version on my website
This is the rarest gem. Thank you so much. This course is priceless. Thank you for helping us!
My pleasure :)
this is so well edited mate thank you
Do you think this music theory video will help me with learning how to play the lyre harp?
@@Ekaterina-nc7cp music is music, I feel it would apply
I'm holding a pen and a stack of A4 stack of papers at work and writing down some notes, I've playing guitar for 7 years but I never fully understood music, and this guy is breaking it down to pieces, I believe music is the closest we came to real magic and it's my life's goal to create it
Haha, hope you have a great time taking those notes :p and and even greater time making your next music
@@Woochia Thank you so much for taking the time and the effort to explain music to us man ❤️
Well said! what would life be without music? i shudder at the thought.
you are amazing at explaining things, this video was very well explained and I'll come back to watch it some more times
This video unlocked my third eye. you explain everything in way that makes since. theory seems a little less intimidating now!
Outstanding pedagogical skills!
OMG thank you, bro! You made it all click for me...great approach. Fundamentals...waves...the entire universe is waves... frequency...harmony...phasing...waves.
... vibrating in 9 dimensions ... 😱
Brilliant in its simplicity. Everything one needs to know. Very well done sir!
It's absolutely comprehensive 👏👏👏👏 thanks for your help bringing all in one video. Bits and pieces learnt all these years and in perspective we could visualise it is complete picture of music theory. Easy to relate each other and memorization, Thank you 🙏
How a wonderful course. Thank you so much. I studied frequency in Doctorate Degree. Music and Frequency are an engineering science. Your video is so detailed. You surprised me so pleasedly.
These channel with full courses posted are a godsend for us broke people
Haha, happy this is useful :)
Wow, absolutely incredible
