Priceless. I'm nearly there with the circle in memory. I never expected at my age (almost 65) someone would help me overcome my fear of music theory !
same here. I'm 61. Trying to teach myself the Mandolin.. This channel has helped me immensely. Thank you so much ..
Me too. I'm 63. Just sign up a music lesson to learn music theory. Guess I can still make use of my brain after all. ,,,Without Grace teaching lessons, I will drop my class. Grace is an excellent teacher and she is a 💎.
I am 66, and still learning from this lovely lady..
She's great isn't she?? I'm 55 and picking it back up after a long hiatus. I never had a good grasp on theory, but she's definitely helped clear this all up better than anyone else I have spoke to, or watched!
Same here. I'm 65.
I am also an ex-professional ballet dancer as well as being a musician. I have had many, many, many different teachers over the years. One thing I have always believed is that a good teacher can take an otherwise obscure idea and explain it in such a way that the student gets it. One teacher can "explain" things one way, another can "explain" the SAME THING in a different way. And then one teacher comes along and explains it in a way that makes the light bulb go on.
That is very true!!
I've had several people try to explain music theory to me, but I could never quite get it. That is until I found your channel. Thanks for teaching it in a way that I can actually understand it. You're a great teacher, Gracie!
I'm so glad to hear that!! :) Thank you so much, Geoff!
Excellent teacher.
Thank you! 😃
@@GracieTerzian thank you so much Gracie....i learned a lot from your lessons,it really widens my music theory knowledge...btw,what will gonna be the chords in the relative minor key??will it start to a minor??i'm a little confuse about this one..again thank you...hopefully you can clarify this if you have time.😊
Thank you so much for keeping this little bit of theory simple. A lot of other so-called Guitar Teacher’s on CZcams go to fast and somehow consciously or not are doing it or most people can’t understand what the heck you’re talking about. Thank you again.
So happy to hear you find my explanations simple! That's how it should be! Thank you for your kind words - I really appreciate it
Where have you been hiding all my life, I could have progressed so much further years ago if you were in my life.
Of course you were probably not even a thought from your parents minds back years ago when I could have learned something about music theory. I actually learnt relative minors back in the mid 80s from a keyboard player I was in a band with in Germany. He was an amazing musician and really helped me to have an appreciation for theory as a means to communicate with other musicians. You on the other hand just explain it so easily to understand. That the ah-ha moments are almost overwhelming. And this all leads into modes and intervals as well...
Thank You...
Aw thank you so much Greg!! What a nice comment. I'm so glad to hear that you're having "ah-ha" moments - those are the best!!
Thanks Gracie....really appreciate two things 1) Your "side note" comments 2) you taking the time in post production to speed up certain parts (and keeping them in the video) Thanks, you earned a sub
Aw thanks so much for subscribing! and I'm so glad you enjoyed the video :)
Hey, thanks for making this easy. I play with a group of self taught musicians. They know what to do, just not why they do it. I use the information from your videos to help explain the theory behind the music. It helps me have a better understanding and all the others think I am some sort of musical genius/nerd. Don't worry, I give you all the credit.
Hahaha I love it!! That's awesome :) Thank you for your nice comment. Keep up the great work!
Ngl, ur probably not gonna see this, but... i just wanna say THANK YOU ALOT FOR THIS😭😭🙏🏻🙏🏻, i have a music theory test that i have to finish tomorrow, and i had no clue what i was doing.. you fr just saved me. Thank you again.
I'm so happy to hear that!! Good luck on that test!!!!
lady, you are great, and a great teacher, clear, concise and you stay on target without digression
thank you so much!
Literally the only person who has ever explained this in a way I could understand, genius.keep up the fantastic work.
Thank you so much! so happy to hear this :)
I tried to understand circle of fifth from many CZcams videos, and no one explained to me clearly than this. BOOM! It is so easy and making sense now. Thanks Gracie! You are a great teacher!
Hell yeah !!!! Gracie os the BEST youtube music teacher in my opinion
I have been bursting my brain trying to work out how do I work out the circle of fifths in my head then find the relative minor with the right key signatures then BOOM!, I find your teaching videos and work it out for myself, slowly at first then BOOM! something clicks. A great teaching method. Glad I found you!!! You are amazing.
I prefer watching your videos Ma'am Gracie. Your way of explaning everything was so systematic and I was able to digest the whole video and to apply it whenever I practise playing guitar. I already did watch your previous video about circle of 4ths and fifths; it was simpler yet I was able to to grasp and understand the whole concept of it, dissimilar to other videos I had watched, they were all perplexing for me. I'm hoping to see this kind of videos of you in the future to help me and others to improve way we play our instruments and most importantly upgrade the level of our knowledge about these concepts.. Thank you so much..
By far your explanations are the best on CZcams!
Thank you so much!!!
@@GracieTerzian More than welcome!
I already listened to Gracie's Circle of Fifth lesson and had to do this one as well. Gracie is a gifted teacher. She also has a fantastic voice. Thank you sooooo much. Keep the lessons coming!!!
Thank you so much George!!! I really appreciate your nice comment and I will definitely keep the lessons coming!
I can't focus I always staring in your eyes I melt
you are a great teacher you have so much patience thank you for teaching us
I was about to give up on this. Circle of 5ths....relative minors...blah, blah, blah blah blah. It felt like I was going nowhere. THEN....I found your channel and like a bomb..it suddenly made sense!!! I shouldn't be this giddy, but I am. Thank you SOOOOO much! Sub earned!!!!
The best music theory teacher on CZcams, thank you!
What a great discovery this channel has been.
Beautiful music and excellent music theory teaching.
A gentle request/suggestion: in addition to chord relationships in a key (scale harmonisation I think?), as requested by another commenter, it would be wonderful to have Gracie's take on simple modulations to other keys, or middle 8s, etc. when songwriting.
Great suggestions!! Thank you so much!! :)
music major and rock musican for most of my life...best lession on minor scales ever...
This lady is the best teacher I tell you, been following her and I figured I have learnt a lot of things
Just hit the subscribe button and what a wonderful channel you've created! You explain hardest music theory stuff the way that at the end of each video, everything seems like a piece of cake and is fully understood! Great job! And thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
The way you teach is brilliant! Thank you. I'm new to learning how to read music and your explanation helped me a lot.
You MUST be a school teacher, and I say that with all admiration. Nice job!
All my guitarist a trick is find your Major key root on A String then go up a Whole Step on the E String and there’s your relative minor 🤩 that’s an easy way I visualize it quickly
You finally found someone who I can explain it so I can understand it. Thanks.
Thank you Gracie. As a relative newcomer to guitar I’ve been looking for something like this to help me understand the major/minor relationship and you make it so clear. 🎉
You know it ... I think she's the best on youtube !
I play guitar also .....
Do you know of any other good music theory channels ?
~ Michael
@@Archangel_Michaels sorry for the delay - I've only just discovered how to find out if there are replies to my replies! No I don't really - this is such a good one that I haven't bothered looking too much.
I found your Circle of fifths video and found it very, very clear and easy to understand. Then this video. Please keep making videos on music theory. You're two for two with me. I like your way of explaining things.
Hi Henry! I'm so pleased to hear you enjoyed both videos and found them clear and easy to understand! I will definitely be posting more music theory videos, so stay tuned... :)
The art of teaching things that can be very confusing into the simplest things are a gift. AND you have that gift.
You make theory actually interesting and you help put the puzzle pieces together. I rewatch your videos to get it to sink in. I appreciate how you speak to your audience like we were sitting there with you. And you are personable in how you explain. Thanks so much!
WALAA! I OWE YOU NUMEROUS THUMBS UP. YOUR DIATONIOC LESSON HAS SUNKEN IN FINALLY. IT'S NO FAULT OF YOURS JUST ME AND MY ATTENTION SPAN. THANK YOU AGAIN.
I could listen to her all day long ....Nice teatcher!
People, please help me up, this lady's teaching skills are blowing up my mind!!!!!
I love these lessons. Thank you!!!
You have just unlocked the Circle of 5ths mystery for me! Thank you so much! Looking forward to the chord relationships lesson!
Absolutely one of the best if not the best on describing and three easy ways to find relative minors to majors
i have listened to many people teaching theory. i have been able to really connect with your explanations, what captured my attention about this video is that you gave me options as to HOW to discover the relative minor. thank you. much more comprehension is taking place lol! thanks!
This is exactly what I have been looking for! I have searched other videos about minor keys, but none have explained it as completely and clearly as you have. Take care and thanks so much! 👌
You’re an exceptional educator. Thank you for sharing you knowledge and making overwhelming things clear and simple.
Such an amazing teacher, you taught me what I've been struggling to understand in other tutorials within minutes. Drew this down and about to hang it on my wall as we speak. Thank you
Gracie Terzian explains music theory in a way that is both granular and easy to comprehend. She is a unique talent as an instructor.
Now studying music at 50 yrs old, your videos have been amazing, the way you teach is wonderful, thank you. 🙏🏿
You're a hell of a good teacher I wish I would have had you back when I started would have been easy to learn

Aww thank you so much!! What a kind and thoughtful comment... I am speechless! Thank you!!
RELATI VE, MELODIC AND HARMONIC MINORS .. along with double sharps and double flats as the scales increase. Good video
IO have learned tp play every nstrument I've got my hands on but all by ear... Your videos have allowed me to finally understand the relationships between keys... Thank you!
you are literally the best music teacher
Just wonderful. Looking forward to more of your music theory videos. You proved wrong the saying ‘ Can’t teach an old dog new tricks’ by your teaching style and passion. God Bless!
Aw thanks so much! I'm so glad you found it helpful :)
Your videos 🎥 are just what the doctor 😷 ordered!
Goodness! The dreaded subject is broken down with ease... Thankful forever! ❤
Gracie, you are the best! I was trying to figure out how to determine the relative minor key when the major key is known, and lo and behold, your video answered my question precisely. You also do it in a very friendly and comfortable way. Thanks so much!
I am a beginner playing bass. You have taught me so much revenant info. Thanks.
THANK YOU! A lot of teachers could learn from you!
Aw thanks so much Lindsay! Means a lot!
Hit the nail on the head there Lindsay, I'm a teacher but also a student. Gracie's my fave instructor :)
@@michaelsmusic3532 Right! I am actually looking forward to theory vids finally! ha!
Always interesting. Very easy to follow what you are teaching.
Glad you think so! Thank you!
Outstanding job.
After 60 yrs I think I’ve got it now.🤓
Yay!! That's what I like to hear :)
Thank you Gracie for simplifying critical must know forms of music structure .
I've found an excellent teacher in you. The way you explain the topic is really praiseworthy and admirable.

Where have you been all my life!
I'm excited to apply these things. I thought I was gonna play how I feel for the rest of my life. I think this was great right to the end after watching the circle of fifths!
Hi Ms. Gracie, Thank you for all you do. Your style of teaching is very helpful for someone that picked up learning guitar for therapy for battling cancer. I really appreciate You!
Thank you
Hello Rogelio! I'm so glad you found the video helpful. I am sending all of my love and well wishes to you right now as you battle cancer, and am praying for your improved health. Thank you very much for taking the time to write such a nice comment - it means a lot to hear that you enjoyed the video.
@@GracieTerzian hi Ms. Gracie, you are so welcome. Appreciate the prayers. I pray for your continued success as a teacher & a you tuber. Im your student for life. Thank you & I really appreciate You.
Incredibly helpful Gracie, thanks.
So glad it was helpful! Thanks so much
Thank you for explaining all this stuff.God always has the best for us.
Hey! You are the finest music teacher on U-tube. Thanks for another great lesson.
Thanks Gracie, very clear and precise
Thank you so much Gracie. Very helpful for me.
You are the best. Teachers are special people. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Lovely explanation, thanks Gracie
I absolutely LOVE the way you teach!
I love your explanations of the Circle of Fifths, as well as how to find the minor keys! Thanks for making this available!!
You're very welcome! So glad it was helpful!
So glad I found your videos. I was stuck in a cycle of frustration back and forth between not really understanding other people's explanations of music theory, and then trying to wing it. You'd think going from playing the cello to improvising on a piano would be easy(they both have strings, right?). Yeah. But thankfully the way you explain how keys work with chords and scales actually made sense to me and I'm no longer drowning in a sea of dissonance. Thank you!
Very cool teacher. Love your music lessons. Thanks.
Thanks so much Gracie! This makes it so much easier to understand !👌
Okay, "hey". Like I said you're an amazing teacher. I'm gonna watch the next video too. Have Joy!
Very easy to understand. I know some music theory but that makes things alot clearer
Great to hear! :)
Kept it sooo simple.. easy to memorise.. rather... visualise... it reqs a bit of repetition in viewing.. but super. Thks, cheers, Vernon Alvares, Mumbai, India
Thank you Gracie, clear as crystal👍
Thank you for the encouraging words at the end. it really helps with my motivation. you are an awesome teacher and I'm excited to check out more of your lessons :)
Thank you so much Katie! I really appreciate your sweet comment and I’m so glad you liked the video :)

@@jasonlemon4491 You know it ... she really knows what she's doing and is extremely talented, have you heard her music too? I find learning from her to be inspirational on so many levels. I wonder if anyone else is jumping up in the morning excited to learn music theory. LOL
I'm thinking of starting a fan club, are you on board ?
@@michaelsmusic3532 Yeah sure..
thank you so much for your clear and straight forward explanations. I've watched many other videos about learning the circle of fifths, and how to find relative minors, but yours were the only ones that didn't confuse and discourage me.
