#8 LEARN FREE MUSIC THEORY

[Darklordbrink]

I thought I would share this website: teoria.com. It is a great way to practice your sheet music and such as you can test yourself. It has been a great help to me.

[Lev32]

hahhahahahhahahahha

homework hahahahahha

[JmQuinn87]

Does a accidental last for only the bar that its in or the remaining of the song?

like if you had this ( ] = bar line )

#F-F-F-F ] F-F-F-F

would that be F# all the way through or would it be

F# - F# - F# - F# ] F - F - F -F

[R31n4rdJ0]

question again:

if we put sharp in the F (which make it Fis), will it give the same effect to the higher/lower F so the higher/lower F become Fis too?

i'll be waiting for your reply

thanks mannn

may God bless you

[admiraljansen]

@R31n4rdJ0 If the key has an F sharp, then all of the F's are sharp.

[R31n4rdJ0]

wow i can't tell how helpful this video you're making mannn

really2 niceeee

btw may i ask something..

for the flat/natural/sharp, will it end the effect of flat/sharp/natural after hit single bar line or double bar line?

i am sorry for my language, i'm not good at writing lol

[reikojons]

its a corndog thing!

[ownage554]

Nubz4lyfe!

[FJPtheDJ]

"I'm just a noob" lmao best teacher ever

[Jackthemort]

On to lesson 8 already. I,m learning loads. Thanks Andrew regards Sue

[onsaphi]

So would a C sharp be the same as a D flat? Which one would you use? Does it just go with the melody? Like if the previous note in the melody is progressing upwards you would generally use a sharp?

[jakebowkett01]

@onsaphi

I'm answering your question because this really confused me when I first learned about flat and sharp notes.

A C# and Db are enharmonic notes, which means they sound the same but are written differently. Let's say you're playing in G major; G major has one sharp note - F#. However, since you write the # sign in the key signature at the beginning of a piece, you don't need to write the # sign before the F note every time there's an F#. However, if the note goes out of the key (cont.)

[jakebowkett01]

@onsaphi

you use a sharp or flat, depending on what key you're in. The key signatures for G major and D major have sharps them, while the key signatures for F and Bb have flats in them If your key signature has sharps in it, then mark any notes going outside the key as sharp and flat if the key contains flats. I don't think a piece can contain both flats and sharps, I think it's one or the other. I hope this helps ;) Also, if this is incorrect someone please tell me :D

[onsaphi]

@jakebowkett01 Ah thank you.

[L1V3Beatz]

heres a trick for naming the keys: to find c look for the chopsticks (two black keys) and to find f look for the fork (three black keys)

[cornrain123]

the homewoerk tones are simitones :P

[cornrain123]

YOU ARE THE BEST !!!!

[marineboy8]

10:32 BUM BUM BUUUUUMMMMM!!

[09EF09]

Is there any mathemathical reason for naming certain frequences A,B,C,D,E,F,G, while others Cb, Fb, etc? I.e. why those 7 are elected "white keys", while others are "black"? Is it just historical?

[williamwolfcub]

lol 15:53 caw caw caww caw caww caww oh wut am i gonna do ? poof , aww

[jthameschoir08]

Just random. When you were talking about semi tones and whole tones on the violin, I heard your open a string...... its flat. : )

[monkeybumface]

get yourself a spectrum analyser that'll show it a lot clearer

[bornskiee]

you are our TEACHER!!! we salute you ^^

[catman1cheese]

well done

[EugenePoluyachtov]

You are the best music teacher in the world, just know it)

[austingulick]

Keep your chin up! I can't play violin AT ALL!



[Wonderpipical4ever]

for the staff paper i find it easier especially with music theory courses to just pick up a music dictation note book, you have staff paper on one side and lined for notes on the other. :) they're like 2-3 dollars at Walmart.

[frydayupinhere]

Note to andrew furmanczyk, plugs are allways ok as long as the materi is free

[Tzuze]

" I'm just a n00b" haha :D You are awesome. Thanks for these great videos!

[Justrhythm8]

Thus far I would just like to say, maximum respect for your time and effort for making these videos. You come across very well and im sure you are a great teacher to all your pupils. Much love :)

[relampago21]

thanx andrew. these series of videos have been amazingly helpful

[ANAIDESOR]

Beautiful. Face and brain. :D

[miranda785]

hi i just wanted to say its hard for me to do the 7th video's hw should i be worried if its taking me more than 3 weeks becuase ive been really busy?

[xxdonnybxx]

Which I do plan on finishing- and are very helpful. However, that will be done at a later time, I was wondering if you could direct me to the next lesson of "how to play piano" #5.

[xxdonnybxx]

Hey Andrew, I've been following your lessons up until now and didn't realize that along the way, I had strayed from your piano lessons. I had retraced my steps on youtube, and found out that after your fourth video of "how to play piano", the only video link listed that is similar to the ascending order of your video lessons is that of your "music theory" lessons.

[AaronTrutsJC]

*walking over to your piano lessons*

[extremeguitarshredr]

ha! that must be so akward when you say a joke and laugh and then your like "oh wait... im talking to a camra"

[kenora33]

@extremeguitarshredr I wish I could like this comment 100 times hahhaa

[Sephern]

@extremeguitarshredr That's why he laughs a second time, duh! Lol. :p

[Musicalme96]

i thot those were called half steps nd whole steps

[diablo4334]

@Musicalme96 They are the same thing

[w1ll3r5]

@Musicalme96 same thing different name

[Bonavard]

I really appreciate what your doing for all of us newbs in music out there! I have watched other vids before this to try and teach myself how to compose but it was complicated because I knew so little about the basics. I will keep watching your vids to the end. And just a question in this vid while you were explaining sharps and flats I think that notes BC and EF don't have a sharp or flat in between (E# or Fb, B# Cb) right? And that still makes it a semitone right not a whole?

[swordpetals]

20:01-20:04 hahahaha!XD thats how I feel with school..........thanx this was helpful.

[ZeppelinFloydRoses]

Andrew, if you hair was a note.... It's be A# for sure!

[stylersrobby]

You are incredible! I'm thinking about buying a keyboard and I think I will learn it with your help! but first music theory!! jeeej

[doc105]

Oh That crow making those key's sharp XD im sorry i love your videos but this helped me alot on learning my whole tone semi tone i got a 2 on my music theory test at my high school (:

[hollywoodMIF]

I love your illusions and paraphrasing of new concepts! 

[cindy19930909]

Andrew....you look more mature than the one in the first video in 2008!.....BUT still very nice ....unlike other teachers that scare students away....thanks a lot....looking forward to your next video!

[ashrafilm]

you've just saved students of music £20 per music lesson! lol.

[izhan22]

you are very freindly when you say

HOME WORK time

and i get smile

you make a real friendly environment

[pooyakh]

Thank you man. You are one of the greatest people in the WORLD. I love you so much. ;)

[Hverglemer]

Finally someone that teaches SLOWLY and STEADY. Everyone else is teaching so fast i can't even begin to keep up...I respect your work!

[Salaina5555]

been in band 6 years, poor school no music theory class. I know most of this by learning on the fly, but its amazing what you can learn going back over the rudimentary material.

Btw I also play ocarina. Learned some piano, and want to learn Violin.

Know some guitar, play tuba 6 years and trumpet half a year. keep it up ^^ it helps even intermediate players.

[EmmanuelDYanez]

The violin sounded good though, Andrew

[Zakdoeksjen]

Hy Lypur, just to be sure..so accidentals stop at a bar line or at a double bar line? I am just a little confused about that.

Love your lessons, thank you so much!

[jackasskiller2]

See thats just awesome when you have a great teacher and when they played video game classics too just awesome :D

[chrisgreece52]

OHH MY GOS UR AN INSTRUMENT GENIUS (EXAMPLE U CAN PLAY EVERYTHING)!!!!!!!!

[EdBogie]

Ahh, nice Ocarina! That's a Focalink, right?

Thanks again for your lessons! I'm so happy I found you, haha. :D

[Areelex]

So a semitone is just a half step for guitar and a whole tone is like a whole step? lol.

[Frozenyak]

Bet you played Zelda, Ocarina of Time when you were young!

[Lypur]

@Frozenyak :) Yes I did. I beat OoT 3 times :)

[Itpours]

@Lypur Its the best Zelda hands down.

[zedrein18]

@Frozenyak Don't be so disrespectful. 

[Gaziermo]

@Frozenyak Awesome Game!

[liegeofshadows]

i lost the game again. :(

[Ingutea95]

Thanks, your videos are helping me a lot !

P.S 15:53 - 16:00 lol

[dvamateur]

No mention that these are actually perceived as colors by some people? (Hence the name chromatic scale made out of those?)

[wtfboomm]

So i is a semitone just a half step on guitar?

[sammyboy980]

@wtfboomm yup

[leezymleezy]

thanks soooooo much......I'm learning a new song every couple days....eventually I should be able to play bass and treble clef

[Korianders]

I loved the crow analogy. That was great.

[superbaum]

the first lessen was watched by around 200.000 people.... 5.000 left.... :> u kill people !! ^_^

[badguyswearblack1]

@superbaum it's only to be expected. Most people start something but only a few carry on to the end most times

[superbaum]

@badguyswearblack1 but does he have to kill them? IM A SAAAAD PANDAAAA

[TedEdFred21]

ugh

i fell asleep in class xD

[julifak]

You are the best

[mrmarlboro80]

[voyager4u]

I am back on track with lesson 8. Andrew could you make lesson 7 into lesson 607 :-)

[pugh7755]

I can hear him just fine. Maybe its your computer volume. Check Wave volume as well. It could be low even if your main volume is all the way up.

[IYM2015]

you are awesome!

[dre4ja]

seriously the only reason why i never watch ur videos for over a minute is the sound volume . please get a better mic

[LearningPiano80]

You could be so kind and donate a better microfone, then you would be contributing something meaningful ;-)

Otherwise ask your parents for a better amplifier :-P

[SilenceWithinNoise]

@dre4ja

Stop whining. Get a life. Whether you watch these vids or not doesn't make a difference to us.

[dre4ja]

u need to shut up and behave like a sensible human being . im not bashing the guy he makes nice vids and its very informative im givin him constructive criticism. and honestly i care not what u say only what the maker of the video says. im sick of u ppl who just reply to cause an argument . And i do apologize if my comment seemed bitter

[Rickeeey1]

Nice work! Thanks for re-uploading it.

[bakamesuinu]

GOD BLESS YOUR FACE! your awesome

[LadyEmalee]

@bakamesuinu and his cotton socks too!

[jaime27]

Why its kinda blur? anyway still i understand the concept thank you so much God bless
