Intentionality is key. Something i learned a long time ago was to always ask why, how, where, when, what etc. These questions are the basis for constructive analysis and self criticism, for improvement.

That really is a brilliant insight. It’s almost as if “keys” are perhaps just a way of understanding in theory how music presents the listener with degrees of tension and resolution. The music itself, however, can move freely anywhere. Thank you for this great series of shorts.

Brian, many thanks for your comment. I'm so glad you like the content. Music is totally free and not limited to any key signature or scale, although those "restrictions" help to make decisions :) So, I think your observation is accurate. Best always

What is RC?
@MusicIntervalTheoryAcademyАй бұрын
RC stands for Root Cycle. The most popular one surely is the circle of fifths, but you can pick any other interval as well.

This is not a problem with conventional music theory, though. This is a problem with elitist teachers and their dogmatic viewpoints. As a teacher myself, I strive to never be like that.

Well, in short: There was a time in my 20s where I didn't speak one word with my father for several years. Honestly, I felt lots of anger back then but always have been focusing on making music (which was the best therapy for me anyway :D ...). After those years of silence, we got to talk again. I matured, and he also moved forward as he retired and also questioned a lot of things he did or didn't do. The surprising thing to me was that, one day, he confessed to me that he was so happy I chose my own path which was outside the military. I'm not judging the military, these were his words. I think, he got to a point where he understood that I could provide for myself and the family and he respects that. Although he never said it with these words, but I have a strong feeling that he couldn't let go of the way he's been raised and put into a system that forced him to follow his path and not see anything next to it. I don't blame him (anymore) as life is too short to carry negative thoughts. We talk regulary now and he's happy for me! And I'm grateful for him turning into a more open-minded person who has more empathy now. :)

I just thought of the first chord/chords to contain them both. That being a C7 of some variety. Leaves you with three (?) “main” options. CMajb7 cmin b7 Cdim b7 although that would not contain any potential suspensions. I think I’m onto something, but not 100% sure I’m correct. Theory is beautiful and difficult!

Very unsure what you mean. You refer to the diatonic chord and then refer to a ten. Are you saying that ten is the tenth chromatic interval away or the the fundamental ? Or are you saying it’s the tenth in the scale ? You could name the note if it’s the tenth chromatic interval to clear it up.
@MusicIntervalTheoryAcademy2 ай бұрын
Many thanks for your comment. All the numbers we use refer to chromatic distances (or half steps). So, a 10 describes 10 chromatic steps between two notes, like C and Bb above.

The numbers stand for chromatic steps, counting from bottom to top. You can start these ICs (interval combinations) on any tone. Of you build the 5+2 on C, it leads to the tones C, F, G. I hope that clears it up.

Interesting ideas here, but no matter how I try, I keep hearing the line as incomplete, wanting to resolve to Bb major after the final Cm. Maybe it's my ear being conditioned for many years. Anyway, I've only just started looking into interval theory, and I'll be checking out some of your other videos.

Many thanks for your comment, Keith. Well, I'm not seeing this a bad thing - Interval Theory is a tool that helps create unique music to be added to your existing knowledge. It's not as strict as the Diatonic system but offers new musical perspectives that are not easily visible with conventional training. Please reach out should you have questions or want to chat about something in particular. I'm happy to help.

I don’t understand why this is called the church modes. There were eight church modes or more depending on when you’re talking about. Or do people call these the church modes today? I’ve always just called them modes with an understanding that I’m talking about modern western or tertiary modes. I may have even called them jazz modes, but that’s just as inaccurate as calling them the church modes, I would guess.

Another great video, Frank! Thank you. I find the 'same root' approach to allow the ear to more easily compare modes. This was especially apparent with the aeolian versus dorian mode in this example. That natural 6 is a very telling sound for the ear. I don't agree with the other comments saying that the video is too complex or that it hides the message from the viewer. The content is presented in a no-nonsense way and straight to the point. Always appreciated!
