Please keep going with the modulation videos. Nobody is explaining Modulation properly on the internet. This video is invaluable. Thanks

Thanks for this instruction. Self learners often work on increasing proficiency with technical pieces like Czerny but hardly delve into anything but the notes on the page. You have cracked the door open to another dimension of music never explored.

Hi, if I could just make a small suggestion, maybe if you could take a simple song like Yankee Doodle and apply the different typed of modulation to show as examples to make it a little easier. Thanks, your videos are an excellent source of information, Pat.

@athomewithmusic8698 Ай бұрын

That's s good suggestion. Yankee Doodle would be a good song to use for these types of examples. I'm adding this to my list of video topics I plan to use soon! Thank you.

Thank You for the wonderful way of explaining this to me. I have a little trouble with the concepts of jazz theory. I just don't quit have my mind wrapped around it yet. So learning it described in this manner really helps! Regards!

@@athomewithmusic8698 Wow! Thats fascinating. I'd love to hear more about how different composers handle modulation/tonicization. Love that you used Elton John to exemplify 'tonicization' in this video still not exactly sure of the difference but you've flagged something that I now know to look out for. Thanks. I've always loved and been in awe of how "Goodbye Yellowbrick Road" delights me every time with its harmonic wandering. I'd love to hear more on this sort of thing. Your video here was absolutely fabulous, so clear and helpful. Thanks a million.

As a former drum kit player I have recently taken up tenor sax. As a drummer I was never exposed to music theory nor reading music, other than drum notation which is a different type of note reading. Therefore, with the sax I'm on the theory journey plus reading music notation and trying to understand another musical language is proving challenging, your tutorial has shed light on the mystery of modulation for me. Thank you, and I trust there is more in the pipeline.👍

Thanks a lot for the Chopin Cm example! At least I understand what happens there. How does he come back to Cm though? I just discovered your channel: you are a great teacher, I think your channel is among the best in terms of quality, up there with Music Matters and David Benett. I cannot wait to learn more of this useful stuff for my own music productions.

@athomewithmusic8698 4 ай бұрын

Thank you so much for your support. So how does Chopin get back to Cm? Well, he goes on quite a journey. He goes from the Ab chord directly to G7, but then takes a detour by going to C7, which leads to Fm, which leads to Cm. But in the next measure he borrows a chord from G major, and it seems to jump to the key of G, but the final chord of of measure 4 leads us directly back to Cm, after which we have that amazing stretch of chromatic chord changes. This prelude is certainly worthy of further study!

I've known about this for a while, but my keyboard skills weren't advanced enough to apply it. That's changing, and this comes at a good time. You mentioned Gordon Lightfoot and the Edmond Fitzgerald. Did you know that every cent he's made from royalties has gone to the families of the crew? Much respect to Gordon.

@athomewithmusic8698 4 ай бұрын

I'm glad the video will be helpful to you. I knew about how all the royalties from the sales of Gordon Lightfoot's song go to the families of the crew of the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald. I always thought that it was a tremendous gesture on his part.

Excellent video but the Mozart example, a minor to C major is parallel mode. Is that really a modulation? But there's a part when it modulates to A major later on.

@athomewithmusic8698 4 ай бұрын

I took that example from one of my old Music Theory books. Of course, it IS over 50 years old! But you're right, Mozart modulates to A major later on.

@seanonel 4 ай бұрын

3:20 Yes, but what if your example is a *_true_* modulation resolving to a borrowed chord from the previous key, with the borrowed chord actually receiving the tonicisation treatment?

@athomewithmusic8698 4 ай бұрын

This was a "what if" example, showing how it could have modulated from F to Ab.

Oh well, it was the first one that came to mind. There are undoubtedly better examples I could’ve used. If I ever get to meet Rick Beato we can talk about it!
