@andrewleibs Your comment made me smile! Thanks so much!

Thanks to your teaching, I now use “blocked” and “arpeggiated” to refer to people, e.g.:

“You saw them?”

“Yeah.”

“OMG! Were they…”

“No, just arpeggiated—but they were about to get blocked, if you know what I mean!”

“Amazing!”

“What—their hookup?”

“No, the way Alex’s teaching is applicable to so many things.”

“I know! She’s a taskmaster, but man, do you ever learn schtuff!

“Word!”

BTW, I just edited the description because another song for an arpeggiated major chord is "Kumbaya." I wished I had thought of that at the time I recorded this. Hope it helps too!

Here we go:

1). minor 2). major 3).major 4).minor 5).major 6).major 7).minor 8).major 9).minor 10).major

@andrewleibs Stairway to Heaven might be another good choice.

@Engelbeaugt41491 Thank you so much! Actualy, I am now a junior at Keene State majoring in Music Ed. I am not throwing foreign language-related stuff out the window though. Do I know you by the way?

Hey, Alex! You are such a great teacher! Is this what you're going to school for, now? I thought you wanted to be a translator, but teaching music seems like something you'd be very good at!

@JourneyRock92 @kd5txo @andrewleibs Thanks so much! Chrystal, feel free to try the test at the end of the video and write another comment with your answers. Good luck!

Hey Alex, I like your explanation of the different chords. You are going to make a great voice teacher. Keep going at it!
