I know I’m repeating what everyone is saying, but I’ve been trying to self teach music theory for the past 6 months or so and I haven’t found a channel that actually burns this stuff into my brain. The best teachers are those who can make something complicated simple
Teaching ability is such an underrated skill.
Do NOT apologize for linking a lot of videos. It's not your fault that you are so darn helpful and PROLIFIC! Love your stuff and it really helps me with the learning of some Music "THEORY"....lol.
I appreciate that!
Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just transposed "Don't Dream it's Over"; math is kool. worked like majik@@GracieTerzian
@@GracieTerzian could you add timestamps to your videos?
Agreed, best on CZcams!
It took me three years to study the circle of 5th and you put everything together in 15 minutes. Salute to your teaching style.
Khaphi gyani purush jaan padtey Dingra saheb! ... 3 Years? 😂😀
took me 2 hours
3 years?! Come on, this is simple stuff!
but it's kind of difficult especially if you haven't heard about its at the initial stage of learning but she might put it up if15 minutes did you knew how long it's took her to perpetuate it 3 year to me it means you don't study it often only in a blue moon but moreover you still ended up learning it
Do you realize how much value you give here teaching people music theory in a nutshell? So clear to the point. Big thanks from netherlands!!!
Gracie… I have no words! I haven’t played piano for over 30 years and as a child, I had such a mental block about music theory that I ended up quitting lessons. I have never heard theory taught so beautifully and understandably as you have done! I am so very very grateful for all the effort that you have put into making these videos and I look forward to my progression because of your teaching. Thank you again so much.
What a kind and beautiful note! Thank you so much!!!! I am so happy to read this!!
The Easter egg is that bit on transposing!!!! But ALL these videos are gems!! Thanks for being you!
Gracie - You illuminate the dark voids of my musical ignorance with such fluidity and ease. Another masterpiece, thank you.
aww thank you so much! really appreciate it :)
Brilliant!
you should be a poet! maybe you are ....
@@GracieTerzian hello Gracie,thanks for your lessons..😊..uhm...i have a question, and i hope you can help me...if the scale is in the key of A minor,and its the first degree of the scale will it remain a minor??because im confuse...i always think of I ii iii IV V vi vii, plz help me.
@@mm-zn5hh Yes, the 1 chord would still be Amin, but that pattern you typed is the one for major (Ionian) , not minor (aeolian) scales (modes).
Yep I agree with everyone here, you’re videos are the first Ive watched that have truly helped me understand the circle of fifths. You’ve got a knack for explaining the overall concepts but also all the little details along the way that I would otherwise get stuck on. Thank you!
Thank you so much! I’m so happy to hear this :)
Ahh, here we go. This is the perfect complement to your other video on circle of 5ths. As always, your teaching skills are superb. You are my go-to source for music theory.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in such an easily consummable format.
I took 4 years of piano lessons over 55 years ago. Thanks to you, I have purchased a Korg keyboard and will get into it in a way that my old teacher could not inspire in a 10 year old. Thank you Gracie.
I truly, truly appreciate the way you simplify theory. The lights are coming on for me.
Yay that's great to hear! Thanks for your nice comments :)
I dont think so, the gate of heaven are opening for you...
I can't begin to describe how I feel about your teaching style. You are absolutely top notch, Gracie, I've been confused by the circle for so long. You've made it look so much more like a road map that I can understand! Thank you!
This is the first time I actually understand how and why I should use the circle of fifths. Thank you for simplifying the process for me.
The more I watch this video, and some of your others, the more it sinks in. With practice and watching your videos repeatedly, the light in my mind goes on! You take the mystery out of this for me. I really appreciate your instruction😊
Understanding the circle of fourths and fifths has been HUGE in helping me transcribe songs leading to being able to play more music. Thanks for ALL of your videos! As others said, don’t apologize for being resourceful!
You are an EXCELLENT teacher. I'm a bassist and I'm learning so much from you. Thank you.
Wow, it looks like all these incredibly positive comments go on for miles! And after watching this, I understand why ... you're a fantastic teacher and know how to explain difficult concepts with great clarity. About the only thing I could add is that with no music background I purchased my first dobro at age 70. It's been challenging, but now at 75 I'm able to play about 15 or 20 tunes. But I could never understand much theory or the Circle of 5ths. Finally this weekend I just decided that I had to somehow figure it out if I wanted to advance much further. I accidentally stumbled onto your site and it was eye-opening. I've been glued to my screen watching and taking notes. Thank you so much!!! I've watched two of your circle videos so far, and can't wait to get into minor keys, diatonic chords, etc. You've helped me rediscover the magic of playing music! Thank you so much!!!!!!
Wow that is amazing!! Thank you SO much for your kind words. I really, really appreciate them. Keep up the great work and good luck with your continued musical journey!!
You have the best approach I have ever seen in my life! I've been playing for over 20 years and you STILL have taught me things I didn't know or rather, things I didn't even realize I knew and things I kinda knew but didn't know how to use them. I would recommend you to anyone that wanted to master the basics and grow into a better musician!
You have taught me so much about music theory in such a short period of time...it blows my mind.
Yay! That makes me so happy to hear! :)
I've been playing music for 20+ years but skipped too much theory. This is gold, thank you!
Thank you for this video! One comment, though: The reason why F in C major is called the subdominant is that it is a fifth below the tonic, hence the circle of fifths, not that it is a step below the dominant. Here is a citation from Scribd: In music, the
subdominant is the technical name for the fourth tonal degree of the diatonic scale. It is so called because it is the same distance "below" the tonic as the dominant is above the tonic - in other words, the tonic is the dominant of the subdominant.
[2]
It also happens to be the note immediately"below" the dominant.
Gracie, your explanations are very easy to follow and detailed enough to help the student understand complex concepts. I'm a bass player and know a little bit about music theory, but I've learned a lot in all your videos. Great job and thanks for doing the videos!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much for this nice comment! Keep rockin that bass :)
I’ve been working on the circle of fifths for a while now but have clearly over thinking it. Your videos have clicked it into place. You have a great way of explaining the seemingly difficult but actually quite obvious... not an easy task. Thanks.
That's wonderful to hear! So glad you feel it clicking into place finally. Cheers and thanks for the nice comment!
OMG! I really never noticed the reference to a clock and where each note on the circle are. I heard you reference it in the first video but it flew right by! Game changer!
Yes, it's cool that it's a clock so that we can visually relate it to something we already know! Glad you like it! :)
Gracie, you do a great job educating us 'wanna be' musicians on music theory. The one thing I would suggest is that you slow down the speed at which you present your information. This will give us some time to digest the information you are presenting as you go along. Keep up the great work!!
I simply don't know how you don't have 2 billion subs at this point - for the following reasons:
1. You sing like a frickin' angel
2. Your mastery of music theory and amazingly understandable presentation of it is beyond any music teacher I've ever seen
3. You're gorgeous and seem like one of the nicest people anyone would want to meet
I've been playing metal guitar for like 35+ years and you've taught me so much with this channel - so thank you so much for that. You've opened up the world of music for me again.
High praise? Yes, indeed - and well deserved.
Agreed 👍
@@robertcronin6603 Somehow I don't think he wanted a response from a dude. He was really wanting her to respond.
@@thegolfnut812 so … ummm … he feels the same way. Is that ok with you?
Hi Gracie, Gerald here again. I'm a self taught bass player with no music theory back ground. I played with a guitar player Noah Nihau from Hawaii who first introduced me to circle of fifths he didn't really explain it to me in detail but suggested I learn it and now I'm learning it with you thank you! His playing was very creative, I'm sure the circle of fifths had a lot to do with it, that's what I want. He has since passed away and I miss him and his playing..😔
Awesome Gracie, excellent teaching on the cycle of fifth. I think memorising the whole cycle of fifth really equipped students for a career in music. That's the only theory you need, the rest is just practice, "sweating"
The Nashville system makes this so much easier to understand or better to say use much simpler but you are so much more sophisticated
Terrific stuff Gracie! The Dark Mysteries of Music Theory,... Revealed! You're a true teacher. Brava!
When the tutorial is this good, I never skip any ad! 🥰
Hahaha thank you! So nice of you to say :)
Beautiful, elegant, intelligent, so helpful! Thank you for your service, the world is a brighter and more creative place thanks to you
Link on, Gracie. Link ON!!! You are an AWESOME teacher. I've liked and subscribed. Day job be darned...I'm watching ALL your awesome vids. 😀
What a glorious way of teaching music.... More than just liking your videos , sharing your work and subscribing to your channel ; I have now started loving you...., my dear girl....
aw thank you so much for sharing!
Your circle of 5ths videos are a great aid in understanding music theory but you always refer to past videos.
Thanks Gracie. I'm only recently started to get my head around music theory and your explanations are really helpful. My brain has gone from feeling deep fried to lightly flambeed!
hahaha :) thank you and i'm so glad you are finding the videos helpful!
I love this woman. Her teaching skill is impeccable. #blessed 💫
Thank you! :)
Superb video. Very clearly explained. My first chord lesson was in the year 1978, now in Dec 2022 I understood circle of 5ths. Thank you. The other confusion is always on modes. I hope there would be video on modes and simpler/ logical way for remembering and applying. Thanks once again...🙏🙏🙏
Gracie, I've been studying the Circle for a while, and have watched many videos on the subject and put into practice all of them. Of course, everyone brings their own perspective on the matter, but your teaching I think is the clearest and most useful I've come across. Thank you for sharing your love and knowledge of music. I am truly inspired.
Best explanation of circle of fifths on CZcams. Great vids!
Thank you very much!! Much appreciated, Anthony! :)
Yes. This comment sums it up.
Whoever figured out the circle of fifth was a genius (or just someone who works very hard
This is great. I have never heard an explanation and mapping for the circle of fourths AND fifths -(love that tidbit of info). Explanations always make understanding easier. Thank you for this.
Just wanted to comment to say I love your music theory videos. Beginner guitar player here and has been great for writing chord progressions. Greetings from Ireland!!
You're a gem of a teacher. I wish i discovered you earlier
I'm technically a great musician. But my music theory IQ is that of a gnat. It takes a brilliant mind to make music theory simple enough for us gnats to understand. Thank you! and great channel.
Gracie, Gracie, Gracie.
Thank you so much for your lessons. I imagine, like many others, that I've tried learning this stuff and still can't seem to wrap my little head around it. Thankfully, I've discovered you, and by virtue of your teaching style that aforementioned little head is beginning to tick. There's light at the end of the tunnel. 😊
You have one more subscriber here now.
Thanks again and please continue the good work. 👊🫡🤟🙋
Another great video on music theory! Well done! 👍🎼
I learn so much from your videos, Gracie! Thanks!
4:48 you actually explained diatonic - that's the kind of thoughtfulness which separates your videos from most others.
Great Tutorial Videos. Loved your format ! Thank you Gracie
Outstanding lesson. Thanks so much!
I understand the circle of 5ths ⭕️ so much better now. Thanks Gracie and Manhattan,Queens, Brooklyn reference I understand soooo much now thank you thank you thank you. Stay safe and blessed.
KLA$$EN
Your videos are always so easy to understand and helpful. Thanks!
Another excellent video Gracie, thank you for your time and effort
I am 64, and I really enjoyed your leason. You are my respected teacher. I opened my eyes and have shown a change. Thank you.
Amazing clarity in your instruction.
Thank you.
You explained it like no one!
I just spent my last week on your channel!
You’re such a brilliant teacher. Thanks so much for these great videos.
Gracie let me tell you I have watched alot of Guitar tutorials but they explanation is as clear as mud. You simplified it like bread and butter. And the videos are short, brief, and covers all major details in music theory. I have already watched 12 videos of musci theory. It has immensely helped in my concept of music theory. Your explanation is UNBELIEVABLE. God bless 🙂
Thank you Gracie, I love your videos, they are so clear and helpful. You are so talented :)
Great stuff Gracie. Thanks so much for making music theory understandable.
Thanks so much Gracie!
Totally awesome tutorial....thank you!
Another awesome video..thanks Gracie! You make things that have baffled me for years so clear!
Excellent work!!! I just found your channel yesterday, very cool stuff. Thank you!
Got it! Thank you Gracie!
These lessons are awesome!!!
Amazing! So clear, yet detailed enough to understand. Love your work. Cheers. Dann
One really good way to learn and understand it is to play the Trinidad steelpan, because the steelpan is laid out exactly as described here. I started playing years ago before I knew what a circle of fifths was, but now I know pan, the circle is easy. And if you play pan you can play any song in any key just by shifting around the circle.
Thank you for sharing your talent 😊
So much quality and valuable information in this video, it's just insane. Thank you so much for this!
Thank you Gracie for teaching us all so well❤️
This, like your other videos, is extremely helpful. I'm in my 13th month of learning guitar and music theory, as a hobby, being an adult with a family, job, mortgage, etc. Just a few days ago I attempted to write a chord progression of my own. I did it by ear trying to find chords and rhythm that sounded good. Though I did lean on what little I know of theory. I did find something I really liked. And I now practice it daily. It turns out I used tension and release, and shared adjacent keys in my short composition without knowing it. Now I know why it sounds good and is enjoyable to listen to. Thanks again for your excellent teaching methods from one of your Patreons.
so glad I found you! love these videos. so well explained. I am new to piano and this is HUGE!
You are awesome Gracie. Thank you.
These series of videos help a lot!
Thanks for making this concept so easy to understand!
Again, thank you for your clarity and helping me understand!! 🎶
I am hooked on your videos! You explain these concepts masterfully. Very helpful! Thank you!
The amount I’ve learned in two days based off your videos has helped me exponentially. Can’t thank you enough. Thought I’d never understand the circle of fifths
Thanks Gracie, another great video.
Wonderful teaching! Thank you.
Another great lesson Gracie! Thank you so much :)
Love the transposition technique, thanks!
Thank you Gracie
Great video class. Thanks very much.
This is SUUUUUPER HELPFUL!!! I’ve been trying to understand this and nobody breaks it down as simply as you do! Everybody talks about the I, IV and V chords but nobody explains why they matter so much. You’re such a good teacher! Thank you!!
Fantastic content! You have solid teacher chops! Stuff I've almost known for years now finally clear. And the video! Killer composition, great palette, top notch all around. It's going to be fun watching your channel grow.
You are the best and the most beautiful teacher on the planet earth many thanks for your time.
You rock! This is so helpful. Your explanation is the most useful I've ever heard.
your explanations make so much sense and so useful to use when playing! very clever!
Your lessons are superb! Thank you very much for your help.
Finally someone who explains it really well..... was struggling with the circle for a long time, now able to use it in various ways when being creative on the piano. Thanks a lot!
She's a great instructor.
again, another presentation so easy to comprehend and understand, thank you Gracie
Been looking at your older content. You're pretty awesome and makes it that much cooler that you're taking the time to make these theory vids.
Gracie, you're a wonderful teacher. Thank you for your videos!
Thank u Gracie for teaching us.
Very nice lesson, quite clear, thanks a lot for sharing, Gracie
Thank you Gracie Terzian for your helpful tutorial. 🙏
