His perfectionism on teaching made him the best music theory teacher I've had and seen. I still go back to his music theory Playlist when I feel the need to
Oh my goodness!!! Michael thank you so much for everything you've done for the world. I will follow you on your next journey! I wish you the best my friend!
I’ve played piano since I was a kid, and never learnt music theory until I decided to start teaching myself through your videos. Still have much to learn but I just want to say that I’m forever grateful for your videos Michael. Thanks for helping me be a better musician. Appreciate your style; no overproduction and clickbait that CZcams tends to favour, just a real person teaching music theory. Wish you could make more content but I understand the grind is a bit much at times. All the best with your new channel. -Katherine
Man, you were kinda the one that made me want to start learning music theory. I used to watch your videos and not comprehend a single thing because I decided I didn’t need the foundational stuff. Boy was I wrong. When I thought my love of music was fading, I watched your videos and it came back. And ngl, I’ve checked your channel a couple of times to see if I just missed an upload from you. It’s good to see your face on here again. I hope one day content on here comes back, but until then, good luck on your current endeavors
I watched the whole video you did on Overanalyzers and it answered a question I've carried for 50 years. Everytime I became successful in some endeavor, I would self destruct and could never go back to completing or continuing that business. Thank you. Also I'm glad to see all the positive comments about you here. You certainly have made a difference in making this world a better place. You are a success and most likely a genius. Thank you for all your work. I refer back to your music theory now and again.
Much love. Personally I can relate to self taught skills; I am legally blind and have been picking up different instruments since that happened. I love and appreciate everything you previously put up on theory, and genuinely hope your new endeavour is fruitful for you.
Your music theory lessons are a work of art. To me, you'll be like the Carl Sagan of music theory. Thank you so much for them and all the best for your future endeavors.
You helped me a lot a couple years ago to learn music theory when I started getting into music production. I still check the notes i've taken from your videos multiple times. Glad you're back and hope everything is well
Thankyou so much for your videos and i really appreciate them and your enthusiasm. I get the way you explain things. You will always be my virtual Music Theory teacher. Good luck with your next project!
Most of the people commenting here seem to have been following you for years, I just came across this channel recently (I wish I had much sooner!). Your videos have made a bunch of concepts I’ve struggled with for *ever* super clear and accessible. These videos are truly a gift to anyone trying to gain an intuitive understanding of music theory. Thank you! Your new project also sounds super interesting - I’ll be sure to check it out!
Even if this is the last post since you said you have no immediate plans for music theory content, I (and probably everyone else who watched this) do wish you all the best on this new project of yours Michael; thank you for everything you provided us with and expanded our learning in THE MOST comprehensive manner. We are all indebted to you for all the amazing effort and work you've put into this. Best of luck on your new channel and sincerely, welcome back!
Your music lessons changed my life! You explained so much to me, and it all made sense so quickly. I do hope you eventually come back to do more, but I also understand and wish you the best on your new project. Thank you!
Thanks for this update, and thanks a million times over for all of the episodes that you've left here--they are so, so great. I just subscribed to your new podcast, and I look forward to hearing more from you there. Sincerely and respectfully, Thom
I just rewatched the circle of fifths videos today and started the learning to read set - now boom, here you are! You taught me so much. I just drew my mental images for memorizing the grand staff! What you created here has amazing value. I hope this work remains available for future budding composers. You should not feel obligated to do more, you don't owe us anything. Sincerely, thank you for this legacy.
Why am I so late to see this video. This man helped me get a firm grasp on music theory in this whole diverse CZcams theory videos. Thank you Michael, you're one of my favorite teachers ever.
Thank you far all the effort behind your music theory videos. I've pulled this channel up every couple of months wondering what ever happened. Did that just now and I'm in shock. The new podcast looks awesome!
You are an amazing man Michael! There is always a 'next' in life and you have found yours. No apologies needed we have benefited from your amazing music knowledge. I am sure those that have learnt music theory from you wish you all the very best. I have learnt so much from you music lessons. I am teaching myself piano and it has been so incredibly helpful to watch your lessons. Always taught with enthusiasm, simplicity and clarity. Something that is a necessity for a beginner! Best wishes!
@@lastbornrelic3430 I've quitted conservatoire three years ago as I didn't really feel ready to study major authors (still love classical music, I just didn't have the means to fully appreciate it when playing), meanwhile I've done lots of stuff that made me understand that I can learn efficiently only in an active way, so I've started to compose some pieces (classical inspiration for now), and I'm also trying to learn some theory I've though I'm struggling to find it useful
Let's put it this way Michael. You're one of the greatest teachers out there. You became our teacher - and your teachings will be in us forever ----- or at least for as long as we live. What you taught me is permanent. Ingrained. A huge thumbs up from me. You're a GREAT person. Thank you so much for those valuable teachings and lessons. It's obvious that us students understand just how much incredibly useful, workable, practical, meaningful music techniques that you taught us ----- conveyed it in a way that we can actually understand and seriously apply and practise. Forever grateful.
Congratulations on your resurrection. I'll check out your new project. The way we educate people and ourselves is particularly interesting to me. I know the feeling of placing too much importance on something and becoming paralyzed. It's happened to me a bunch. You're right that it doesn't get talked about enough. Good luck on the new creative endeavor!
Hey Michael, I completely understand how you feel. Thank you so much for the content, i cant describe how awesome it has been. Every single video is perfect. Feel proud of what you have done. You have helped me understand the music i have been hearing all my life. Thank you.
So glad to see this update. I am an older guy who starting playing music again a few years ago after not doing so for a long time. My music education is very limited and learned so much from you about music theory. I checked frequently for new videos from you until I gave up, so I am glad to see you are back, I will definitely check out your new channel. Good Luck with it.
It's nice to hear from you. I was worried something bad happened. I just wanted to say you are a big reason why I picked up music theory and subsequently various instruments, and that has had a tremendous impact on my life. your teaching helped me immeasurably, and I wanted to thank you for that. I could've learned from anyone, but your style suited me perfectly, and I appreciate it. I'm also a massive proponent of self teaching and in general learning throughout adulthood, as such I applaud your new goal. I wish you the best of luck!
Hi Michael, I accidentally found your channel and listened to your time signature and found it to be extremely helpful, thorough andd easy to understand. I would definitely follow your channel to support you. Hey, just a reminder we all have our up and down in life and none of us have it completely perfected, you don't need to feels guilty or feels like you let everyone down. I am sure many of your subscribers may have missed you because you are very good and helpful with your music theory explanations. And not to mention you are extremely good looking guy to watched. Just pick up from here and moves forward, I am sure you will have many more subscribers in the future. It doesn't matter what new projects you like to do, there'll always be a large group of audiences/supporters for you here on CZcams. I wish you the very best and much successes in all you do!! Welcome back Michael!!🤗💕 Lan
Good to see you are back! I've discovered this channel this year and I didn't thought it would be brought back to life! Learned tons of music theory, you're the best! Will follow you on the self development channel, but I've got to say, I've developed so much already, that all I wanna do now is learn about music, haha! Cheers to 2021!
Good to see you back, can’t wait to see what else you have planned. Your content has help me out so much so far and this new chapter seems interesting. Keep doing what you’re doing. You’re awesome.
I will definitely check your new project. I'm sad that my fav music teacher will be focused on another project, but I wish that you can help people more than you already did with this channel. Thank you very much for all your hard work! We appreciate it!
This is great! I found your channel because I wanted to learn how to play the piano but your secondary new show is definitely along my alley… and I’ll make sure to listen and follow! Thanks for putting this content together.
Thx Micheal! I learned a lot, filled my theory gap in your channel. I hope it'll be more writing music series one day. For all the youtubers I've watched in this two years , u're really really good at teaching and ur patients and serious really affect me. THX!
I'm picking up music again after many years away from the piano. I must say that your music theory lessons are so fresh and practical. It's like a light bulb just comes on every time I watch one of your videos. I only remember theory being dry, inapplicable when I had to learn it using the ABRSM syllabus. Thanks and I hope you'll make more content especially on jazz piano.
Pursue your dreams, dear Michael New. You've helped me significantly with Music Theory the time you had on this channel. Definitely checking out the new stuff, as you're very intelligent and super empathetic for new learners who don't get the lingo. Best wishes to you, and see you there.
I have learnt so much from your theory tutorials and they even helped me drift off to sleep several times. I dont mean that as a put down, merely just that you carved out a beautiful anxiety free place and space in your lessons. I often came back to check the channel for more lessons or just to chill and here we are. Good luck with the new channel and god bless. You have a gift, don’t stop sharing it.
Great to hear you are onto new projects Michael! I sincerely wish you all the best, you have helped me so much with music theory back in the day that I will be forever grateful. Bless up!
Thank you so much for the content on this channel. Your videos helped me understand music theory, to the point where theory books started to make sense to me. I'm so happy to see you back. Even if you don't make any more content for this channel, I'm looking forward to seeing you discuss education on the new channel. Good luck.
Hey Michael! Firstly, happy new year. I hope 2021 is a great year for you. I wondered what happened to you so I'm so glad to hear that you are OK.....it's weird how we think about people that we've never met, how in moments when we're doing something trivial like making a cup of coffee we have these thoughts about someone, wondering where they went, what happened to them etc. Your music videos are fantastic and I have watched them all several times, so thank you for that. I'll definitely be following your new channel, the subjects you said you'll be covering are the kinds of subjects that interest me a lot as well. Take care and good luck with your new channel, I'm sure it'll be great!
You made music theory clearer to me, in a simple straightforward way -- and thank you for that. Best wishes on future endeavours, as well. I shall have a look at the new channel....
It's nice to hear from you, man - and there's nothing wrong with letting a project be finite, or moving on from it. You've covered some really solid info here, and it's been the foundation of my understanding of music theory. I really appreciate having this stuff out here as a resource, but... there's only so much to cover, or that you'll want to cover. Don't be afraid to wrap it up in a bow and finalize your basic music theory video collection -- or to start up a sequel for intermediate music theory, or something else more specific. No idea if I'll be joining you on the new video series or not, but.. thanks for letting us know. Stay safe out there.
I just saw this update, very understandable. Thank you for finally teaching me the circle of fifths, almost 20 years after learning it in highschool jazzband it actually made sense listening to your video.
Thanks for what you've accomplished already. Some of your early videos were very helpful for me in music learning! Cheers and best of luck in your new project!
Hey! So nice to know about you. Your videos were very important to me, they "unlocked" lots of things in my mind. I still remember discovering your channel and thinking " wow this guy explains so good, lets check the channel". Your new project looks very interesting, the best luck!!!
I started watching your channel back in November...I have always struggled with understanding music even though it's something I have always been passionate about. I just want to say thank you! You are helping me through music theory towards my degree. I will definitely follow the new project, it will be just as great as you imagine! Whew! Glad I got that out😊
I recently discovered your channel, it's been a great way to learn and explore music theory. I wish you were still working on this channel. You're one of the best music theory CZcamsrs. Good luck to you and your brother on your new projects.
Thank you for your tutorials. Even throught english isnt my native language and I never been taught music in school you always somehow managed to make music theory feel easily understandable. On youtube there are many talented musician who teach music, but not enough talented teachers like you.
Hey, Adam. Really funny you’ve made a reappearance today. I stumbled across your music theory videos just a couple of days ago and I’ve watched them back to back for hours, jotting down notes. I just wanted you to know how much you’ve really helped me in the gaps I had in my music theory knowledge, how many questions you’ve answered, some that I did not even know that I didn’t have. It was only a couple of days ago I was getting my son to show me (because I’m clueless) how to watch your back catalogue, I’m still working nn through it. I can’t thank you enough. As I’m new to your channel, I hadn’t even realised you’d not posted for a while; listening to your new video today it seems you’ve been in a difficult place. I just wanted to let you know your videos here have made a massive difference, even the ones that I nearly did not watch because I thought ‘Heh, no need for me to watch that. I already know that bit.’ Thank you so much for your time and energy spent. I wish you all the best for the future. Jamie.
Nice to see you back and well. Only today I commented on a video from 2011 of you explaining about chords, and stated that you might be an accomplished musician by now. Just wanted you to know that you have been a great inspiration for me, and your music theory videos help me a lot in my late life endeavour (I recently turned 60) to learn playing the piano. Even if you don't create any more new music theory videos, please know that you are much appreciated. Thank you, Michael. Be well, be happy and flourish.
Although I enjoyed your music theory videos and learned a lot from them, you do what you need to do. Thanks and regardless of what you end up doing here, I'll certainly check out your new channel.
Hey Michael, just wanted to say that you are by far the best teacher I've encountered on youtube. I started pursuing music last year due to lockdown and if it wasn't for your incredibly easy to follow videos then I defiantly wouldn't be where I am right now so thank you! I'll definitely check out your other channel!
Hi Michael! It's great to see you back-but I'm very sorry indeed to hear about what happened to you that led to your “disappearance.” I was a big fan of your great music theory videos. I was just starting out learning music when I found your channel, and your content was just the thing! :) I'll always be grateful for your help. :) Meanwhile, I'll chase up your new venture!
Crazy, I feel so identified with you. I am a graduated software developer and a self-taught musician, so the other way around :) I also struggle with what you described in this video. Thanks a lot for your videos Michael! Thanks to you I got a completely new view on music theory. I always recommend your channel to friends who are struggling with it. You don't necessarily need to be uploading new videos, leaving the old videos online so that people (and myself) can keep learning from them is already huge. All the best for you, I just subscribed to your new CZcams channel ;)
Subscribed to the podcast immediately. Can’t wait for the procrastination episode. Edit: I can tell this was a difficult video to make, it’s uncomfortable in the same way you feel when you run into a friend you haven’t seen in a long time and haven’t kept up with. I’m just glad you’re happy and well.
This new channel is a great idea. I've also had the same reservations about the education system and have self-taught myself many things and continue to do so. I'm a bit of a perfectionist too so I totally get where you're coming from. You put out such great content and I've always recommended you with high praise so you should be proud of this channel and I'm excited to see your new one.
First off: Super interesting new stuff and thanks so much for being so helpful with all your content here! Guess the question that interests me the most about that is the question of how to convince your employer you're actually as good or better than the other applicants. Would love to hear something about that! :)
Hey Michael it's great to hear from you again. Whatever you decide to do, I'm just glad to hear you're doing well and I really appreciate your music theory videos. Happy New Year!
Hey man, good to see you after so long. I agree with your point of procrastination being an emotional issue, in fact I think every learning/improvement/getting ahead roadblock that people face are all emotional problems. Having been in therapy for the last two years, I have come to realise how overlooked and poorly understood emotional problems are. Even in the field of learning. Im very excited to see how you approach this topic on your new channel. Im happy to follow you guys. Good Luck!
When your dad comes home with the cigarettes.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

I was like "Who tf is this guy and why am I subbed to him?" Then I looked at the channel. Good to see ya back man

Hey I am a software engineer trying to be a self-taught musician. I think both disciplines complement each other very well.

Music can be complimented very well by math
Same here. My mind did a wild correlation of modes to Turing Machine
Right there with ya!
im a self taught programmer and musician too but not as good as these guys

Even if you don't make any more content for this channel, I'm looking forward to seeing you discuss education on the new channel. Good luck.
Hey Michael! Firstly, happy new year. I hope 2021 is a great year for you.
I wondered what happened to you so I'm so glad to hear that you are OK.....it's weird how we think about people that we've never met, how in moments when we're doing something trivial like making a cup of coffee we have these thoughts about someone, wondering where they went, what happened to them etc. Your music videos are fantastic and I have watched them all several times, so thank you for that.
I'll definitely be following your new channel, the subjects you said you'll be covering are the kinds of subjects that interest me a lot as well.
Take care and good luck with your new channel, I'm sure it'll be great!
You made music theory clearer to me, in a simple straightforward way -- and thank you for that. Best wishes on future endeavours, as well. I shall have a look at the new channel....
It's nice to hear from you, man - and there's nothing wrong with letting a project be finite, or moving on from it. You've covered some really solid info here, and it's been the foundation of my understanding of music theory. I really appreciate having this stuff out here as a resource, but... there's only so much to cover, or that you'll want to cover. Don't be afraid to wrap it up in a bow and finalize your basic music theory video collection -- or to start up a sequel for intermediate music theory, or something else more specific.
No idea if I'll be joining you on the new video series or not, but.. thanks for letting us know. Stay safe out there.
I just saw this update, very understandable. Thank you for finally teaching me the circle of fifths, almost 20 years after learning it in highschool jazzband it actually made sense listening to your video.
Just watched your previous videos and they were the best music theory videos I’ve seen. Thank you.
You have made a positive impact on my musical understanding. Thank you my brother!
thank the gods you are alive and well!! all the best for 2021.
Thanks for what you've accomplished already. Some of your early videos were very helpful for me in music learning! Cheers and best of luck in your new project!
Glad you're not dead! I have sent multiple people to your videos for accessible explanations about music theory. Love your content!
Thank you buddy for the classes ......
Omg so excited to see the new episodes!
I am so happy about this!! 💛 Congrats!
Hey! So nice to know about you. Your videos were very important to me, they "unlocked" lots of things in my mind. I still remember discovering your channel and thinking " wow this guy explains so good, lets check the channel". Your new project looks very interesting, the best luck!!!
We send love and gratitude from Japan.
I started watching your channel back in November...I have always struggled with understanding music even though it's something I have always been passionate about. I just want to say thank you! You are helping me through music theory towards my degree. I will definitely follow the new project, it will be just as great as you imagine! Whew! Glad I got that out😊
I learnt music theory this year by watching your videos throughout lockdown, thanks for the amazing content! Good to see your alive hahaha
It's great to see you again! I watched all your videos and learned how to create musics for my games thanks to you! YOU ARE THE BEST!
Thanks for all the excellent music theory videos! And thanks for being so honest and candid. Excited for the new videos
Oh brilliant!! I so, so agree with your perspective, you are great and yes I am very interested!!
I recently discovered your channel, it's been a great way to learn and explore music theory. I wish you were still working on this channel. You're one of the best music theory CZcamsrs. Good luck to you and your brother on your new projects.
Thank you for your tutorials. Even throught english isnt my native language and I never been taught music in school you always somehow managed to make music theory feel easily understandable. On youtube there are many talented musician who teach music, but not enough talented teachers like you.
Thank you for teaching me the fundamentals, I appreciate everything you’ve done
Hey, Adam. Really funny you’ve made a reappearance today. I stumbled across your music theory videos just a couple of days ago and I’ve watched them back to back for hours, jotting down notes. I just wanted you to know how much you’ve really helped me in the gaps I had in my music theory knowledge, how many questions you’ve answered, some that I did not even know that I didn’t have. It was only a couple of days ago I was getting my son to show me (because I’m clueless) how to watch your back catalogue, I’m still working nn through it. I can’t thank you enough. As I’m new to your channel, I hadn’t even realised you’d not posted for a while; listening to your new video today it seems you’ve been in a difficult place. I just wanted to let you know your videos here have made a massive difference, even the ones that I nearly did not watch because I thought ‘Heh, no need for me to watch that. I already know that bit.’ Thank you so much for your time and energy spent. I wish you all the best for the future. Jamie.
Nice to see you back and well. Only today I commented on a video from 2011 of you explaining about chords, and stated that you might be an accomplished musician by now.
Just wanted you to know that you have been a great inspiration for me, and your music theory videos help me a lot in my late life endeavour (I recently turned 60) to learn playing the piano. Even if you don't create any more new music theory videos, please know that you are much appreciated. Thank you, Michael. Be well, be happy and flourish.
You are are a good man that is passionate about the things you pursue.
People like that.
Best of luck to you.
Dude, you tought me a lot with your videos. Thank you so much.
Although I enjoyed your music theory videos and learned a lot from them, you do what you need to do. Thanks and regardless of what you end up doing here, I'll certainly check out your new channel.
Hey Michael, just wanted to say that you are by far the best teacher I've encountered on youtube. I started pursuing music last year due to lockdown and if it wasn't for your incredibly easy to follow videos then I defiantly wouldn't be where I am right now so thank you! I'll definitely check out your other channel!
Hi Michael! It's great to see you back-but I'm very sorry indeed to hear about what happened to you that led to your “disappearance.” I was a big fan of your great music theory videos. I was just starting out learning music when I found your channel, and your content was just the thing! :) I'll always be grateful for your help. :) Meanwhile, I'll chase up your new venture!
Crazy, I feel so identified with you. I am a graduated software developer and a self-taught musician, so the other way around :) I also struggle with what you described in this video.
Thanks a lot for your videos Michael! Thanks to you I got a completely new view on music theory. I always recommend your channel to friends who are struggling with it.
You don't necessarily need to be uploading new videos, leaving the old videos online so that people (and myself) can keep learning from them is already huge. All the best for you, I just subscribed to your new CZcams channel ;)
Subscribed to the podcast immediately. Can’t wait for the procrastination episode.
Edit: I can tell this was a difficult video to make, it’s uncomfortable in the same way you feel when you run into a friend you haven’t seen in a long time and haven’t kept up with. I’m just glad you’re happy and well.
Hey Michael, nice to hear from ya. All the best with the new channel!
This new channel is a great idea. I've also had the same reservations about the education system and have self-taught myself many things and continue to do so. I'm a bit of a perfectionist too so I totally get where you're coming from. You put out such great content and I've always recommended you with high praise so you should be proud of this channel and I'm excited to see your new one.
you've done so much to get me started on my music learning journey
all our love
First off: Super interesting new stuff and thanks so much for being so helpful with all your content here!
Guess the question that interests me the most about that is the question of how to convince your employer you're actually as good or better than the other applicants. Would love to hear something about that! :)
Cheers from Argentina! Glad you are back!!!
Hey Michael it's great to hear from you again. Whatever you decide to do, I'm just glad to hear you're doing well and I really appreciate your music theory videos. Happy New Year!
Incredible. Your videos have inspired me to learn piano, and I’m happy see you again! Good luck with the new project-I’ll be tuning in 😊
Hey man, good to see you after so long. I agree with your point of procrastination being an emotional issue, in fact I think every learning/improvement/getting ahead roadblock that people face are all emotional problems. Having been in therapy for the last two years, I have come to realise how overlooked and poorly understood emotional problems are. Even in the field of learning. Im very excited to see how you approach this topic on your new channel. Im happy to follow you guys. Good Luck!
Hey, welcome back!! Very excited to check out the new stuff 😃
