    I particulary enjoy these explanations of decoding a melody to find its tonality. Can I find similar videos on your channel for learning this kind of tonal reasoning? Thanks a lot, I like your work!

    It's amazing how much more sense the melody makes when you put the chords under it at the end. For the whole video, when listening to the melody only, it sounded to me like measure 6 sort of "ruined" the whole thing. Then the chords made it all understandable.

    Thank you again.
    Could you please put a video on how you play chords on melody. When it changes, how the bass should move,...
    Thanks

    I’m guessing G minor based on the Bb and Eb + the leading tone.

    I love your work and would like to recommend your web site to my singing students.Respectfully have you thought about a monthly subscription to the whole web site

    • @MusicMattersGB
      @MusicMattersGB  Před 4 lety

      Hi. That’s very kind and we are delighted that you are wanting to recommend the site to your students. We have recently started Music Matters Maestros for three levels of subscription. There are certain difficulties about opening up the whole site for monthly subscription but there are bundle reductions on prices.
