I have been casually, occasionally making music for over 20 years now, but never jumped into music theory because I found it intimidating and wasn't planning on doing music full-time, etc. I knew most of what you have been teaching in this series intuitively just from being around it so long, but the way you explain things is so clear and precise, it really cemented what I knew and explained how concepts relate to each other. You're a fantastic teacher. *Please* keep this series up!

[@iamaikon]

I hardly ever leave comments, but feel like I need to give a BIG thank you for this series. I have played instruments for over 30 years and NEVER heard these topics explained in such easy to digest ways. You are a wonderful teacher and I would love to see another set expanding on what you've taught here!

[@johughes115]

This series seriously helped me. More than any video I could find. Two years later and you're still helping us plebs. Thank you.

[@Taetro]

awesome to hear. glad you’ve been following along for a bit!

[@galacticbear0134]

this has been the most incredible tutorial series I've ever watched on KZbin. I grew up with no schooling on music whatsoever so I only knew the few songs I learned on piano as a kid. I've been watching this over the course of 2 months, and really letting the concepts take time to click in my brain. And oh man I'm glad I've been so patient with my learning because of you I'm implementing things I've learned from this series into my own tracks on ableton, into bettering myself at my instruments, and some topics have even transfered to vocal practice. You're style of teaching is so unique I really can't put it into words. you're a talented musician and teacher :)

[@_mickmccarthy]

My favourite mnemonic for remembering the modes is: I Don't Particularly Like Modes A Lot Modes are awesome though, and so much more straightforward than a lot of people make them out to be (not sure if this is just bad teaching, or a bit of them trying to make their knowledge seem more impressive than it is).

[@oyamasmusic]

lolllllllllllllllll what an acronym! that's a keeper :D fr tho that helps!

[@hungry_bug3641]

lol! i made mine "I dont play like mario and luigi"

[@danilo64652]

Please continue the series, it is very useful and the concepts well explained. It would be interesting if at the end of each episode you gave us practice exercises or something like that to put the concepts explained into practice.

[@nyjahbeats]

taetro, this was a fantastic series. i purchased the launchkey mini mk3 around release and for most of my time owning it, i felt lost on how to really maximize its potential. i took some music classes and while they did help me understand music better, i couldnt never fully implement it into the context of a daw. this series really filled every hole that was missing in my understanding of music production and gave me the boost i needed to do what ive wanted for so long. thank you truly. hopefully you'll see my name floating around someday because of this

[@elykorihb]

from the bottom of my heart Taetro, I have learned more in this course than in the years of formal piano school growing up as a kid where you learn songs, chords, scales, etc and then just get tested on them at the end of year, not rlly knowing how to apply that to creating music. thank you, thank you, thank you-this course has impacted me so greatly. all the best to you

[@plusran]

ok listen Taetro, I need to take a moment and re-write my comment here. I've completed your music theory playlist and I am SO THANKFUL. It couldn't have been more perfect for me. I used to beg my mom for piano lessons as a kid, but we could never afford it. Now? Now I'm super excited to apply these principals. You've demystified chords for me! I can find a key without looking to the circle of fifths. I'm just so excited, and thankful. I mentioned in another video that I could see how much work you put into this class. You make it easy to learn, you make it look effortless, but I can see you put real work into this, and I appreciate it. Thank you so much, Taetro. You're the best!

[@Taetro]

I really really appreciate hearing that my friend. thanks so much for sharing and taking the time to watch the videos. happy I can help you on your creative journey

[@Sweetcommando]

This series was awesome for a complete beginner. I have to agree with the thing at the end where you said that its all about starting to create music. It was kinda diffuclt to grasp the concepts throughout the series but it all comes together when you just play around in a music production app. Very nice my dude

[@agnormous_music]

Thank you soo much Taetro :)

[@maxbradley4910]

These videos are fantastic. Been playing guitar for years and I guess I've fallen into a trap where I rarely think about theory or the structure of music, it's just shapes and patterns on the fretboard. Recently got a midi controller (arturia keylab), now I'm trying to produce and learn piano so all of your videos are a phenomenal refresher on the basics that I really needed.

[@annalisecampbell9766]

Got both my kids aged 8 and 12 to watch this with me as we are learning how to make music together. This series was super friendly and easy to understand. Thanks so much. We have made leaps and bounds in our music making skills already !!

[@Perry614]

Really enjoyed this series! Thanks for putting in the time to put this together in such an easy to understand way.

[@Taetro]

You're very welcome!

[@jameslisteroutdoors]

I've just discovered your channel & in particular this series. I've been a DJ for 25 years & recently started learning piano with the aim of doing some hobby production. This series is a fantastic idea & you are a superb teacher! Big 👍

[@Taetro]

Welcome aboard!

[@ltzvk]

you should make a more advanced music theory series, where you discuss of course more advanced stuff than the ones we've already seen in this series, i like how you explain things i literally can fluently play scales and chords in less than a day, i didnt even had to rewatch any video at all

[@larissarose4796]

I love how easily you explain everything.

[@thegirlaádi]

Just finished the classes 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@tedsdroneworld558]

I watched this whole series and have been working through it with my new akai mini play and garage band. Much of which was inspired but this series. I’ve got my first piece of music laid down using I V vi IV cord progression and tried to follow all your rules. I have the rythem, base line, cords, and melody on 6 tracks. Really cool. Thanks for your teaching. Love the mini play. Got it for vocal practice but ended up writing music lol 😎

[@ikercanchola]

Made it through the whole 6 videos in 3 days. Now I'm at the final episode. Thanks brother. I learned so much

[@ikercanchola]

i shouldve taken notes hahaha. will rewatch the series probably. this was the single best theory tutorial series on youtube

[@BernardHRobbins]

Best music making series on KZbin, really helped a lot, you're extremely talented at teaching 💯

[@bluenomadbruh]

This was so much better than anything ive seen or read. I started playing around the piano right away. I am so grateful. You are an amazing instructor as the visual aids really help. Thanks!

[@savx591]

I feel like everything makes so much sense after this series. Thank you so much, it's really insightful and you explain it in a clear and connected way. When I listen to music in general now, I can hear the melody much more and different layers in a song etc because I understand them. So. Valuable. ❤️

[@johnghadimi]

Awesome Video. Wanted to call out this obvious nuance, in case it was missed when modes were presented. In the key of C Major (all the white keys starting at C) the 7 modes translate to: C Ionian (C Major) D Dorian E Phrygian F Lydian G Mixolydian A Aeolian (A Natural Minor) B Locrian Sorry to point out the obvious here :) BTW, for all you producers out there, invest in this plugin called Scaler. It will revolutionize how you make music and thanks to Taetro's theory videos, it will be a powerful tool in your arsenal.

[@Taxcamp]

Thank you so much for this series! I've been playing piano on and off for about 16 years and I still learned so much that made me a better musician. Before watching, coming up with chord progressions and melodies always felt daunting to me but now I understand how it all works and I'm already writing more of my own songs; something I wanted to do for years now.

[@kirbstomp-x9s]

really good series, feel like i learned a lot considering i previously had 0 theory knowledge beforehand.

[@farzinfarsi]

this series is a very good way to welcome you into starting the process of learning music theory and kind of breaks the big scary barrier of not knowing where to start in music theory . it was very helpful thank you

[@spartamuzic]

followed the series, rly good practice 🙏💪

[@comicallystupid1091]

I haven't fully finished whats out yet i just skipped to this part to see if it was still going on, but I really do hope you continue this series or something similar! I have learned so much and you have made jumping into music so much less intimidating! Thank you so much man!

[@landontracy]

This series was amazing. Learned more in these videos than all of my years in school. Thanks!

[@EthanCharleson]

great series has helped me a bunch learning music production

[@JorgeFranco89]

Hey! Really good video series all of them, usefull. Excellent way to teach, patient, step by step, etc. thank you for taking your time and make this series :)

[@freshairconnection4694]

First and absolute foremost, thank you for this series. Im currently on the fence of trying music production and am hovering on the idea of career path or hobby. This video series, your energy and approach, the information given and how it was broken down, and your many other tutorials (many of which i have yet to wstch) have been nothing shy of encouraging. This video is what made me decide to save some money for some basic gear and not worry about where the path leads me. But rathee, i just want to make music in a better quality formst than my phone. Thank you immensly for your time and effort in your videos. Love your music, especially your lofi! Keep up the killer work. And lastly, youre rocking the absolute daylights outta that shirt my friend haha 😜

[@Taetro]

thank you for sharing all that. sounds like you're using the series exactly as I'd hoped. The beginning of a great musical journey!

[@bfehrman6778]

This series was fantastic! I first found your video on Ableton Live for beginners. Your teaching style is great and so easy to follow. It allowed me to make my first song in Ableton. Thank you so much! What is the brand/ model of the midi controller you are using here? I didn't see it listed in the description.

[@blazebeezle]

your style of teaching is top notch and it's so calming, can you please explain the circle of fifths too

[@ginamariachavesv7117]

Thank you so much for this 🖤

[@jasmeetsingh5349]

Just finished this theory today and made my first beat thank you for all your help

[@Berserkerworks]

This series has been so helpful! I've picked up and put down music so many time in life because I couldn't understand why the things I did sounded so bad. Started following along with your videos and a midi keyboard, now it all makes so much more sense, my mind is a little blown, and I feel like I might actually be able to make something that sounds decent. Thank you!

[@NevilleIsGod]

Thank you for the videos! Great collection of information

[@TheCorrielleDimension]

Thank you so much for making this series. It was so informative and helpful. 🥰💖

[@Gomessan69]

Your music theory Videos have helped me alot in terms of understanding what I'm even trying to do. That took a lot of pressure while making songs. I can't wait for the next Video next month!

[@Veskymusic]

Thanks for the tutorial! Which piano vst is this one? Sounds beautiful

[@craigdavidson4845]

You are my spirit human! Love your energy, artistry, teaching style, and musicianship! Water painting is amazing bro! Love it!

[@louwakes]

I have thoroughly enjoyed this music theory series. It has helped speed up my music theory learning process immensely. I would love if you made more. I will definitely watch them!! And I have also found many of your other videos super useful. Thanks so much for making these videos. You are extremely thorough and patient in the ways you explain concepts. Works perfectly with my learning style.

[@Maelzelmusic]

Great series. Thank you SO much. Undoubtedly a great teacher!

[@arnaul5278]

You're great! Thank you for this series

Glad you enjoy it!

Thank you for this series. It’s really helpful for me as beginner 😊❤🎉

[@leauxso]

Literally subscribed for these classes.

[@wlook2461]

Just spectacularrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. First time on KZbin that i've actually wanted to sit through and ven wanted more of your videos.. these were great, and your teaching and explanation was superb. you really take your time to make us understand and want to do better. thanks so much Taetro. Just one short Video to explain the 7th Cord Deminished not minoe not major so whay is it deminished ? I know you hate it but why deminished ?

[@Taetro]

Haha thank you! It’s actually half diminished, and I don’t hate it, it’s just not super relevant in this beginning stage. If you remember what I mentioned about 3rds and 5ths in a chord, try playing the vii chord and examine the intervals inside it

[@richiejoneri6194]

Thank you so much. You help me to start ❤

[@0711RC]

I GREATLY appreciate you. Thank You !!

[@LovelyCasauay]

Hey Taetro! Jut wanna say that your series is helping me write my first song rn! It's something that I've been wanting to do for a long time. So thank u so much!!! 💕

[@lefloic-games]

My Arturia Minilab MKII is in the mail and should be coming in the next couple of days, can't wait to try it out! Your videos inspired me to take the plunge. Music will be me water color. I'll watch the series again to let everything sink in. Cheers

[@xFireDragonx8572]

So far excellent series! When I was younger played around with pianos and that was it. Many years later have Fl studio, know the software. At the same time limited knowledge of music theory being music class from elementary school. So thank you for the information. WHWWWH
