Great video! I love your clear instruction. I just started sharing videos on my KZread channel in the hopes of making music literacy accessible to all.

Wonderful Videos you do

Thanks!

Another wonderful explanation in music theory! Not really new to me but after each of your tutorials, Ted, a loud “aha!” comes out of my mouth and again i realize that my understanding has deepened. Thanks so much Ted!

btw. There is an iOs app called - Functional Ear Trainer - Is this the basis of your insights and your development, Ted?

Thanks Ted. I’m still learning.

I want to recommend a KZread channel to analyse how Jimmy Strums the piano. It’s called Fakerating

ကျေးဇူးပါဆရာ Thank you(Paino teacher) ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This was the best explanation of this concept that I’ve seen. I actually understand it now. I agree that using numbers can help you memorise a song. I can struggle if I’m using inversions though because the numbers don’t seem as obvious 😅

I only communicate music by using numerals instead of letter note/chord names. The numerals show the characteristic and function of the note/chord in any key/scale instead of just random note names. It’s the most simple and the easiest for everyone in the band.

would love to see videos about how to escape a perticular key and create a unique moods. btw love your videos

*chef’s kiss*

And this is my most favourite topic to talk on.

Please make a video how to play any Melody idea in your head

Like ❤you’re awesome video dear

I've just learned that's how most people in China and other Eastern countries learn and write/read music. So called Numbered notation or Jianpu. The concept is very helpful though my brain is still struggling with having C, do and 1 for each note 🤯

Question: since Solfege is really the same thing as numbers, is it acceptable to think of and learn chord progressions in terms of Solfege names? (e.g. mentally think of a "re-so-do" progression instead of ii-V-i) The reason I ask is that I can naturally hear most songs and sing the notes in Solfege, but I can't think of them as numbers since they aren't singable. I can't hear chord progressions yet and would love to learn. Are there any down sides if I do this? And, thanks for the great lesson!

This is a great question! If you're already comfy with solfege, the road to identifying chords by ear is going to be relatively easy. Once you ID the bass note of a chord, you can start with one or two educated guesses for the rest of the chord and test them on your instrument. In terms of what name you give them... compared to the challenge of learning to hear these things, switching out one name for the other won't be too hard. You already know the names of the numbers 1-7, and you can definitely sing them (they're all one syllable except for seven which can be replace with "sev" if you want.) The point of the name is just to communicate with other musicians about what's going on. For the sake of communication you'll be more likely to be understood if you say "ii-V-I" than "re-so-do" when talking about chords. But frankly, it's a lot more important that you can hear and play the progression than that you can talk about it :) so whatever works for you! Personally I never got that great with the solfege syllables, and it hasn't mattered. If you can ID the scale degrees and chord functions in your head and play them on your instrument nobody will care what you call them.

@@pianofluency Thanks for the detailed response. I'll try and see if I can sing in numbers!

Numbers are much more helpful for me when analyzing intervals, chords and harmonic progressions.

Abuse the trend bro. Crop these videos and turn them into Reels. You'll get more engagements that way.

There are some concepts that mustn't be shown in a shorter way. Once we get a quality explanation...

Thank you so much Ted for your work!!

Thanks!
