Восхищаюсь твоим чувством юмора мужик! Спасибо, эти упражнения и правда помогают мне развивать слух 😁
Have a music theory final on Monday and I’ve been using this video and it helped me out so much and taught me so much about what I know and don’t know
All correct
Thanks for these videos! mi fai spaccare!
Why not learning Orchestra instead of only piano? kzread.info/dron/ATWt6uSE8d2BIkPyus5y3Q.html
Thanks
Thats on your end. Sorry to inform you
To help for memorizing Major 6ths, I like to think of either jingle bells "DASHING through the snow..." or, my personal go-to, the Super Mario Bros 1 underwater theme right after the intro.
I want a pinball machine too...
I’ll let you have it on the weekends.
Brilliant!!!
why are you using a pop filter with a sm58 hehe. great video thank you so much!
My kids and dog are super noisy- condenser mics pick up too much of my loud housemates, so this is the best combination I’ve tried found. The filter does seem to eliminate some unwanted vocal noises.
@@joeluegersmusicacademy haha awesome never tried it for that purpose
@@JoaoFerreira-lk3rt I don't know how much it would do for sung vocals, but spoken audio is so much more exposed.
These videos are a gem, thank you very much for your work
Great great stuff! Greetings from Germany ... I am studying at a Jazz Academy right now in my "late youth" and even though I have been into music almost all my life, ear training is the hardest thing to me. I like your channel, you way of teaching and your sense of humour a lot. Keep going ;-)... I also like the sight singing video!
“A nerd that listens to baroque era music” . Touché 😅
this is incredible. you deserve all the way more ad dollars
59:56 ought to be a 4th??? I’m losing my marbles 😂😂 fantastic video though, thank you so much!
I double checked and the example is correct. Sometimes we invert them in our head, try to place them in the same key as the previous interval, or insert an extra note to build a major chord.
@@joeluegersmusicacademy haha just my brain playing tricks on me then! Was in a rather noisy car ride after all. Thanks for making these videos!
Oh my gosh!!!! I loved doing six! It gave me the giggles
These are always great to train, thank you sur
This is gold!
When You spell intervals you move forward in the Alphabet. ABCDEFG Wherever you start gets ! and then you simply count until your target note. THe invertion of the interval is irrelevant. If I asked you what interval is E to G you would answer a 3rd (minor) correct? You wouldn't answer a 6th -G to E. The same goes for C to F is a fourth. F to C is a fifth. Regarldess of inversions, unless other wise specified you think up snd forward, not down and backward. In the most popular circle of fifth's chart, Clockwise is 5ths (C-G-D etc and counterclockwise is 4ths ( C-F_Bb etc. If I was explaining the tune Autumn Leaves or Fly Me Tune the Moon I would say you start on the two chord (for Autumn Leaves ) or the six chord ( for Fly Me) and the root motion moves in diatonic fourths. Fifths are not mentioned. Octave displacements of the bass notes are not relevant to the understanding of what the chord progression is doing. If you're going C-7 F7 Bbma7 Eb-7 Ab7 Dbma7 you're moving the roots around the circle in fourths ,and up minor thirds key centers , regardless of the range of the bass notes.
Just about all of the research I did for this video referred to this chord progression as the “circle of fifths” progression, which initially confused me because it felt more like the circle of fourths. This video does a good job at explaining why intervals and Roman numerals aren’t really interchangeable, and why some people might be primed to view them differently kzread.info/dash/bejne/gp-isbZ_aJfFh7Q.htmlsi=qTh1NCkI7Z8Td1uD
A Ii V j moves is fourths. You count forward in the alphabet to name intervals D ti G is fourths D is one E is two etc. you think up not down. You use the circle of fourths moving counterclockwise. The tendancy for root motion ti mov in fourths is because of the half step betwwen theee and four. The Lydian mode is actually the mode that is most restful because of where the half steps are.
This was my original thought too until researching the circle progression. This video does a good job at explaining why you can’t always equate intervals to chord numerals and how different musicians are primed to interpret the motion of chords in different ways: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gp-isbZ_aJfFh7Q.htmlsi=tYmuVN1JK1cos6wP
ln the last two chord progressions I kept mishearing the I for a IV.
Makes sense- IV shares the tonic note and doesn't have as much tension as V. Practice singing scale degrees over the chords to get better at this. IV-I you can sing the 4th scale degree resolving to the 3rd.
Same haha!
Excellent. Thank you. 🙏
Thanks for watching!
You suggest the ii as a moodier IV. I think the different direction, the I-IV-V-I as a I-ii-V-I in disguise. Does this make sense? IV and V have nothing in common, but a stepwise relation. Is a circle of fifths progression a hidden force behind it?
Yes, I think both of those understandings work. I hear those chord progressions as very similar because they contain almost all of the same scale degrees.
This is super underrated. Thanks for the help!
I love your ear-emotion linked training on modes, AND your amazing sense of humor makes it fun and playful! Thank you so much!
I struggle a lot using the common descriptions of intervals. When you say fourths and fifths are "hollow" I can't really hear what you're talking about, and to me at least they sound pretty different from each other. And weirdly I have "bright" and "dissonant" mixed up for sixths and sevenths. To me sevenths sound really pretty, and sixths sound kinda weird and awkward. I guess that's just the subjectivity of music though, and I just need to find my own descriptors that work for me. Overall though I did way better than I thought I would as someone with no music background, only two or three misses!
Yes, a lot of these are subjective and part of me wonders if we only start to hear things as “bright” because we’ve been taught to focus on those adjectives. The reason I use “hollow” for perfect intervals is because they are essentially chords with the note that makes them major or minor removed.
Ok it's been literal years since I studied modes in a commercial music theory class but willing to take a crack at explaining why Ionian and Major aren't the same thing. Forgive me if some of this is incorrect or poorly explained. There's this concept known as a modal cadence which is essentially a progression that resolves to the I of a given mode and strengthens it as the home key. A modal cadence highlights one or both of the color tones of the respective mode, which happen to always be the two notes that make up the tritone(B and F in C Ionian for example) but in a non-functional manner, meaning no V-I or V7-I as those are functional resolutions. Instead a modal cadence involves chords that contain those tones but aren't a dominant of the key center. For example, IV-I, also known as a plagal cadence, would be an example of a modal cadence, because it's emphasizing the 4th scale degree without resolving down in fifths. However, you can make it even stronger modally by including the diatonic 7ths in the chords. IVmaj7-Imaj7. Now both the 4th scale degree and 7th are represented in the progression in a way that is unique to the ionian mode. No other mode has IVmaj7-Imaj7 in it natively. The progression has a sense of tension and release due to the modal cadence, which helps to define it as Ionian instead of just any music in a major key. For an example of how this sounds, check out "Gymnopedie No. 1" by Erik Satie. The entire first section of that song is just IVmaj7-Imaj7 in D. I think it can be extra confusing because C major is a broader term than C Ionian. The former is just a set of notes with a home point whereas the latter is that too but also defined by lack of functional harmony and emphasizing of character tones that bring out the color of the mode. It's more ephemeral in nature. So to boil it down, all C Ionian music is in C major, but not all C major music is Ionian.
Yes to all of that. To make matters more confusing, modes pre-date ideas of traditional tonality but were “rediscovered” and used frequently in jazz, although jazz musicians are using them differently than originally intended. Using older terms to explain how modern music is made can be tricky because very few popular musicians are thinking about the “rules” of how chords and notes are supposed to function.

It's like a language learning video😅
It helps a lot, thank you very much ❤
def not watching this the night before the ap music theory test...........
I listen to this while working out
It's hard to separate the sound into its component tones. I only hear the resulting combination.
My brain tried to guess what the third note would be. I thought it was an exercise in musical spontaneity.
If there was a third note, that b would probably resolve up by a half step to a C.
@@joeluegersmusicacademy it’s begging to resolve to the I, but you could throw in a iv to drive the ears crazy.
@@sholland42 BUT if you threw in a IV chord underneath, resolving to 6 would sound great.
@@joeluegersmusicacademyor a g for the complete c Maj 7 chord
Is the one in 17:04 really M7 and not M2?
I mean it sounds like a M2 the there’s difference between the notes so it becomes obvious its 7. But again m2 and m7 never sounded so same
It’s a major 7th. I think the bass guitar sound is tricking you with some of it’s prominent octave overtones.
@@joeluegersmusicacademy ohh okay thank you!! I’ll hear carefully
Among all the videos on KZread,i loved this videos
Thank you!
it would be better if not all the chords were C, it's very important to change the base.
Thank you very much for producing these amazing videos 🏆
Glad you like them! My pleasure!
Excellent, already waiting for the next.
South Park moment? 4:10
