This video was a Patreon only video for the past couple months. I'm currently revamping and expanding resources on Patreon to be more user-friendly in the future by utilizing the Patreon shop. I anticipate my next two longform videos (one on post-tonal theory, and another on text settting) will require a 30-day review period with youTube, but they'll be available on Patreon as soon as they're finished, if you don't want to wait out the youTube process.
Yet another example of "i went to four years of music school for composition and I wasn't taught this incredibly useful and simple to understand technique". Thank you for this video, really great and very well presented.
I think an issue with music theory is that what it means to different people, and how it is taught by different teachers, varies widely. What music theory is today is also distinct from what music theory used to be. There is plenty of bad theory out there (and I started this channel in part to offer a counterbalance to that), but there‘s also a lot of great stuff that depends on the teacher and school (and the student!). If you like how I casually imitate many musical styles, for example, realize that that‘s the result of extensive formal education which I don‘t think was worthless. TL;DR Depends on school and teacher.
@@claudiakramer4516 I definitely disagree with that I think there is a lot more nuance to it than that, but in my particular school, I really had to carve my own way and find the teachers that I needed, rather than there being a lot more covered that I feel should have been general knowledge for composers. Like I shouldn’t have been getting the same theory classes as the performance majors most likely, where I was excelling and they (excellent performers) were struggling. It’s not a one size fits all
I've always heard Mary had a little lamb as not having a IV chord at all. Where you are playing the IV I always use 1. I still like the scaling idea though!
@@robertporteles4697 I‘m looking into possibly making a larger formal course of some sort, but at the moment I‘m just posting supplemental content to Patreon. For my next video on post-tonal music I have a pack of 30 audio files and worksheet to practice non-tertian trichord ear training. I‘m hoping to have that video finished this month before classes start in September.
Any advice on how someone who is quite familiar with playing and hearing music but has little to no knowledge on music theory can get to a level that this is understandable? Cheers
I would recommend you at least learn 1) how to read notes in treble and bass clef, 2) all major and minor scales, 3) the notes of all major and minor triads. Once you‘re quick with those, I‘d recommend going through my playlist "how to transform and develop musical ideas“ in order. This video is the fourth video of the series so some things may not be clear here without seeing those previous videos first.
I was hoping this video offered more details about my approach to some of the exercises in the demonstration video which was released a while back. I actually did this video first, and used some material from it to do the channel trailer which then blew up. I don‘t plan on making any more channel trailers so the next stuff I‘m thinking about will all be new! This fall, I‘m toying with some Lord of the Rings style scalar mappings, post-tonal theory for film music, and a discussion of text setting.
You make a beginner's and non-storyteller's mistake. You think everyone knows what song you're using as a base. You should put it at the beginning, in the simplest and silliest way. And then hearing the "magic"... It's like me saying, We will make several reharmonizations of the song "Contigo Perú". I'm sure you don't even know it, but all Peruvians know it by heart. Greetings.
As I mention this in the video, this is not a standalone video. (It is actually the fourth video of a series.) The first video in the series does play Amazing Grace and that is found in the first video in the playlist "How to transform and develop musical ideas".
@@GalenDeGraf So for distracted people like me, making a review like in the TV shows "Previously in the previous chapter", wouldn't be too much... I also want you to know that I really liked your video, and that my intention is for more people to see you, and I only give suggestions. Thanks my friend.
This video isn‘t really about going full evil, but if that‘s your goal you might consider 1) instrumentation such as synths and distorted guitar 2) harsher dissonance 3) jagged rhythms amd odd time signatures 4) more aggressive dynamics

My spine chills love you for this video!

And you paid for it too 😂😂
@@johncanthearyou for sure. Hell my university literally just closed down. Strange times.
School, especially music school is a waste of time when it comes to theory

Legend says that Hagrid once said: "You have a lamb, Mary!"
Dang! Missed opportunity that I didn‘t call that one "Harry had a little lamb".
A great example of this is the Super Mario World soundtrack. Nearly every song is a reworking of the same motif
Most informative and interesting. Really loved the orchestration of the first chromatic example particularly.
Mary Had A Little Lamb chromatic is amazing! I need to start writing chromatic songs…
Man! I wish they had a course like this in college.
Wow! So much cool exciting music theory composition techniques in this tutorial!
This is amazing and incredibly informative stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing! Well done, dude!
This is brilliant! Tank you.
BravoooOooOo and Thank you from Argentina!!!
Bravo, very well done. I just subscribed to your channel.

I don‘t think of that spot as a IV chord either. I wanted to add a little reharmonization to the original to keep the vid from getting boring there.
Thank you so much sir 🎉❤❤❤❤
Interesting!
super like button needed
Your awesome
Somehow I don't think the 3rd and 5th examples have a small lamb at all :D
Do you have some classes in a platform like udemy?

How do you remap a meoldy ??

I'm a little disappointed that you used some of the same pieces in this video that you used in a previous one

@ivonmorales2654 Thanks for the input!
"Non-storyteller" ? Who the f are you? Chekhov? Get a grip.
It’s not dark enough and to your esteem it’s actually, light. Your wasting my time.
