    @@BradHarrison eh, if you want to see beautiful representations of complex problems look up the Smith Chart or the Psychrometric chart. Once this got to the chords and harmonies it was the stock meme of arrows all over the map and the jump from one concept to the next is all over the place. It goes from having decent structure (sharps, flats, chords) to just pure memorization of the hands on a clock of what goes with what. Point being, you could never deduce anything from the circle past what I said without knowing what it was supposed to be in the first place. The smith and psychrometric chart examples I gave have elegant ways of presenting their complex solutions with minimal memorization or study, and thus they are brilliantly effective tools Thanks for all the work though and I do appreciate the time you put into this. The video is very good and informative.

    Have a log book. At each practice session write down what you will do. At the end of the session write down what you actually did. Make a not about anything you need to do during you next practice session.

    It’s a lot of info. But the circle isn’t the beginning of learning this stuff, it’s the intersection of a bunch of topics. Check this playlist out for any topic you need to brush up on. I’ve already covered basically every topic referenced in the circle of fifths video good luck! kzread.info/head/PLDaNGknQ_wTh3eXyjB0smdEYSvqa-wJ1_

    I know this is yonks old by now, but my music teacher who has a good sense of humour, came up with Father Christmas Gave Dad An Electric Blanket, and Blanket Explodes And Dad Gets Crispy Feet. (She said it was originally cold feet, but she said if a blanket exploded at your feet they wouldn't just be cold.) Also thank you so much, this was by far the best way to remember Key Signatures by far!

    A very valid reminder of not practicing mistakes. ❗To add: 1. There is DIMINISHING RETURN, and the ability to gain speed will slow down and eventually halt. 2. Don't rely too much only on muscle memory, it might play a bad trick on you during public performance. Involve other types of memory to really solidify your knowledge of the piece you are preparing. 3. Fast tempos might require a very different fingering and body movements.

    Regarding Fb to C# @7:15 Ignoring the notation for the pitches could that be understood as a maj6 or dim7 interval (9 semitones upwards distance)? I learned intervals without the staff and just find it easier to count the semitones. Thank you

    You bet! Those are the same by ear and on your instrument, but they look different on the page. Same with aug2 and min3. Same difference, but they do look different in music and both show up.

    New time signatures can take some getting used to, but if you spend some time in each one and get into the groove, they’re really not too bad. It’s definitely a practical skill as much as a theoretical one.

    I imagine it's similar to today. Some people know this stuff and find it useful and others don't. It's a bit like how chefs may have different nomenclature and vocabulary compared to a home cook. It's unquestionably efficient and useful, but some people can manage just fine without that sort of education.

    So, I’m not trying to be a smart arse, but what’s the point of learning this? Is it just to compose? Cause idk how all this helps me search for the keys on the piano. If a piece has got 6 sharps or 6 flats, I automatically toss it! I figure the composer’s just wanting to give the player a hard time! :(

  • @BradHarrison
    @BradHarrison9 күн бұрын

    Learning key signatures is a fundamental skill for understanding music theory, which is important for many musicians for a lot of reasons. 6 and 7 sharps or flats don’t show up often, but they do show up. And more so if you play musicals, jazz, or a transposing instrument. But also, don’t be afraid of challenging music! Take your time and work through it. That’s how you grow!
