DAY 5 - 30 Day Music Theory Challenge for Absolute Beginners

Every year in September we do a 30 day challenge that aims to motivates us to grow as musicians. This year's challenge is a 30 Day Music Theory Challenge, which is a course that is designed for absolute beginners who are looking to learn how to understand music theory.
The contents of these videos are family-friendly and classroom-friendly. In these videos you will learn the musical alphabet, major scales, the circle of fifths, and music notation.
The goal is for you to watch 1 video every day of September.
New videos will go live every day in September!

I learned "Father Charles Goes Down And End Battle" which kind of works both ways ("Battle Ends And Down Goes Charles' Father") and can be useful for the flats 😉

Omg. Circle of fifths on the 5th day! 🤯

[@abapdevhigald1209]

This is a very good explanation of how that Circle of Fifths is getting built. Thank you for such a clear explanation and that acronym Fat Cows Go Down And Eat Bread

[@monstai5632]

You make learning so accessible. Im so thankful to have your resources. Thank you!

[@G..G..]

I finally understand. Thanks Bernadette ❤❤❤ Noone ever explained why it's called the circle of fifths 😮😮😮

[@MichProgNerd]

Best music theory instructors in the West and East respectively: You & Gracie Terzian. She literally has a circle of fifths clock available.

That’s the reason the Circle of Fifths is helpful, lol

[@MichProgNerd]

Another great instructor Gracie Terzian has the Circle of Fifth clocks for sale.

[@ZPX945]

This is so cool 😎 ❤

[@michelletribble7327]

Interesting - I learned my Circle of Fifths in Band which starts with Bb scale - we would start there, drop to the minor (Gminor) then drop again to the next major scale (Eb), drop to Cminor, then continue adding a flat each time (Ab next with 3 flats), then coming round the bend and dropping sharps until we get back to Bb!

[@michelletribble7327]

so I know that string instruments and Orchestras play with sharps, concert bands play with flats, so maybe that is why I learned the way I did. We did by memorizing - but today I finally learned why it was called Circle of 5ths!

[@bentorres925]

Thanks!

[@anitacastagna2208]

Love you lesson just don’t know how it fits into playing the ukulele?

[@asnormal1362]

I'm trying to learn but how do I know what is an F 'sharp' on the white board (or the piano?) and what is just a plain F. What does the F or F sharp stand for?

[@henk1810]

When I look at the table in column (table day 5) I see E# and B# .. I'm confused (maybe I missed domething) ....... do E# and B# exist

[@BarbaraAnne51]

Why does the F on the circle of 5ths have 6 sharps? TIA

[@kathleenwaldron5423]

[@RainbowChickenWood]

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

I think you watched it before I had made it “public” 🤭 so you found it in its hiding spot!
