I'm a music teacher and composer trained in both classical and jazz. I am an absolute music theory fiend and it's extremely difficult for me to find educational music materials that actually teach me something that I am not already familiar with. This video has answered quite a few of my questions about many things for me. It's amazing to LEARN something about music again.

Michael, you have a gift. You actually probably have a whole bunch of them but I am speaking of your teaching. Your channel is just so well done. From a production standpoint (editing, light, live keyboard) it's spot on. It moves right along and all of the inevitable fumbling is on the digital cutting room floor where it should be. What really separates this out from many is your teaching ability, your ability to get to the crux of the matter and discover different ways of explaining it. I'm not really a piano player but rather a drummer, guitarist, vocalist type of many years but your channel has got me stuck on the keys for hours now absolutely enjoying the way that theory is laid out so clearly there. I really enjoy music theory and have picked up a decent amount over the years but you find new and interesting ways to explain a lot of this. Plus you're never trying to blow anybody away with your playing which you clearly could. Anyway, many thanks from someone who is both a teacher (microbiology!) and an appreciative student.

Just finding your channel, and like many others, my ear is a lot stronger than my eye (sight-reading). Finding my harmonizing limited to just what sounds familiar and usually very diatonic because I've never been a listener of jazz. I'm going to be combing through your catalog because your method here is slow enough, funny enough, and deep enough to keep theory interesting. Thanks for what you're doing!

it's just an incomplete ii-V-I . So, normally we'd have Bbm7 (ii) Eb7 (V) Ab (I). But instead we have Bbm7 (ii) Eb7 (V) F (Target). It's kind of like jazz's deceptive cadence.

@ enjoying them I am. You make it look so easy that it can be a smidge frustrating that it’s not that easy once I get playing. What have discovered, and what you have aptly demonstrated, is that anything a semitone away from your target chord is likely to work. I just think of it as sneaking in slowly. There are exceptions, but that’s the idea.

And don't get me started on the magic of the diminished chord.

I love the blend of consonance and dissonance in jazz particular. One aspect I always respect is the freedom to choose any chord your ear desires and alter notes without strict rules, unlike classical music. Just be mindful of the melody, as you mentioned. This leads me to a question: Would you say melody is king, or is rhythm the true king? 🤔😂

Harmony is King 😂. No, seriously, I think that it depends, I think you can make one more important than the other depending how you use them but I don't think that ultimately one is more important than the other.

Your instruction is excellent in spite of my propensity to be a dimwit with regard to music theory. Brilliant!

That gives me a very good idea to play my one two note melody in between and add variations or chord substitute single note melodies

Hey this is really helpful for me as a self taught Pianist! Through your content I am finally able to grasp the different concepts of chord progressions and more. The thing I am struggling with is, when I find a chord progression I really like, I wonder what are the next steps, If I want to create a full piece out of it. Playing that Chord Progression over and over seems to repetitive. Also regarding creating a melody and song structure I find it hard to grasp the technical fundament of creating a nice melody. I think it has to do something with pentanoic and altering rythmical patterns. But I still find it hard to build like the basic structure of it before attending to details. Do you know what I mean? Is this also maybe another topic for a new video of yours? Thanks for all your help
