Interval Numbers - Intervals Made Easy (Part 1) - Easy Music Theory

[@Dicklesberg]

The best music teacher on KZbin hands down

[@martywhite2988]

Yep. I have an intermediate knowledge of theory and I love watching these.

And most beautiful 😍 🥰 Total package. How lucky are we

[@russpalmeri]

absolutely! Very clear presentations.

[@barryparker1450]

@@russpalmeri Yes i noticed that, however, may distract some of the younger viewers (& clearly some of the older's)! Joking aside, yet another very good lesson - it's much appreciated.

[@mxaxe5591]

Absolutely!!

[@ravendarkspear]

A lot of people on KZbin who try and teach music theory, who know music theory don't know how to teach. They just try and sound smart about music theory and expect you to figure it out. You actually know how to teach and are great at it! Thank you 😁

[@DanielAndersonGuitarTuition]

I agree!

EXACTLY. Took the words right out of my head.

I am 63 years old. When I was 12 years old I took piano for 2 years. In 4 videos you pulled together everything for me. Thank you so much. You have just made my retirement so much more enjoyable!

[@1Flyingfist]

It's strange, my school music teachers literally taught me nothing, compared to what I've taught myself using the internet. Especially these videos. It's a good job that my clarinet teacher taught me basic music and breathing. I don't remember hearing the term "circle of 5ths" 20 years ago though.

[@robertakerman3570]

Brother; Please don't believe UR persecuted. Christians 4 Xample were in the den of lions 4 amusement. I'll gladly call You a friend. We couldn't afford music lessons, so I'm making up for lost time(young man).

[@CineMuck84]

so what are the other 3 videos? give us the links please :-D

[@timparker4160]

That is so awesome, just imagine how good you could be if you didn't waste time with you religion.

[@timparker4160]

@@1Flyingfist I remember a teacher showing me a little cardboard wheel diagram of the circle of 5ths that you could spin the middle around showing the corresponding 5th notes and said this is all you'll ever need to know for writhing chord progressions, then he handed it to me and didn't give any further instruction as if it was all I would need. I played around with it a few times until I realised it was actually a killer frisby and after that I only used it to throw around the house. It really was amazing to throw I wish I still had it.

[@alexmcneely1680]

Fantastic teacher. You have been producing these videos for many years and the number of people you have helped is immeasurable. So appreciative of all your amazing work.

[@11kwright]

My God this woman is posting beneficial useful videos. She's one of THE best teachers on KZbin. Her delivery and tempo is perfect at makes the videos riveting. She doesn't ramble just goes straight to simplified facts. She's sale to convey in a very simplified universal manner. Thank you kindly for your help.

Someone finally explained why octaves are called octaves and where it comes from theory wise. Best theory teacher on KZbin hands down.

I’ve been playing music for 50 years, and this is one of the best explanation on music theory I’ve ever seen. Well done and I truly encourage you to continue to teach music 🥰

[@neoheart9495]

Right,She is great teacher!!!!!!

[@julienneluhindi3555]

Very right

[@xz.mayaaab8216]

You've really simplified this and I wholly appreciate that. It's really not a hard topic but so many teachers complicate it by speaking in musical language that you don't yet fully understand

[@tonysargeson5296]

I wish I had a teacher like you back in the 60’s, life would have been so much more enjoyable. I was often a bit frightened to ask ‘why?’. I’m going to share your teaching with my grandkids. Thanks for the easy way to understand music theory.

[@bunnyhollowcrafts]

Spent 50+ years playing all kinds of things but in my youth, though years of piano lessons, never got ANY THEORY. I have felt like 1/2 a player for all my life and it zilched my confidence. A few months ago, discovered online lessons and theory and looking for more found you. YOU ARE AWESOME!!! THANK YOU for this content! Your explanations are so clear! Rockets are going off in my head as all this is coming together. My life is totally changed for the better; I couldn't be more grateful! I am 61 and now playing by ear, and two days ago wrote my first song ... The Joy of the Lord. It's a dream come true!

[@GracieTerzian]

Wow thank you so much for this wonderful comment! It brings me so much happiness to read your words. And congratulations on writing your first song! Keep up the great work!!!

[@petermurphy4739]

Hi, I started playing guitar when I was 17 (1965) but only really, really started to LEARN guitar less than two years ago aged 71; yes that's right 71. This is a super clear explanation of intervals and Gracie's teaching style is so good leaving no confusion at all for me. I've watched other tutorials too eg on the Circle of 4ths/5ths and am truly delighted with the difference it's making for me; thank you Gracie. I'm going on to the other 3 videos on intervals next. Peter

[@audrybella6405]

Gracie, you are an EXCELLENT music theory teacher! I have learned SO MUCH from your videos and I love having them in my library to refer back to when I forget something or get confused. Thank you for your articulate and meticulous explanations each and every time!!

[@keithmills4748]

OMG this is a Eureka moment ... all these years i thought you had to count the sharps and flats when counting intervals ... top tuition there me lady x

[@BeaNotAfraid]

I have been fighting with having learned music a weird/incomplete way for decades and your videos are finally getting me to understand what's going on. Love your videos, thank you so much for your work.

[@clintduncan6175]

You are a fantastic communicator. Teaching complex things in a complex way = Insecurity. The teacher doesn’t understand it well, and is parroting what others said. Or they need to ‘impress’ people to have their ego stroked. You teach complex things simply because you know it so well, and are confident in your skills. What a pleasure to learn from you, Gracie!

[@thomasmalatesta7331]

I took piano lessons for 3 years back in the late '60s. Chorus for 2 years and guitar lessons for 5 years in the '70s. Always completely in a fog when it came to sight-reading music and basic theory. You make it so simple and understandable. Easily the best music teacher on the internet. Your videos are a treasure. Cheers!

[@ruchirsajwan]

I’m blown how comprehensive your lessons are, even a toddler can understand the music. Thank you so so much for the lessons 🙏🏻

I just reviewed my notebook (yes, I printed off my lessons last year and it took 1 completely full four inch notebook and 1 completely full three inch notebook.

[@russpalmeri]

As a professional teacher (winner of teacher of the year, and semifinalist for state teacher of the year in North Carolina.) Not to sing my praises, but to sing hers. See below. I feel like I’m in a good position to judge teaching videos. This young woman is, without a doubt, one of the finest teachers I have ever encountered. Her explanations are simple and lucid, her examples continually reinforce the teaching point she’s trying to make. She has an excellent speaking voice and it’s easy to understand. I could go on singing her praises for sometime, but you get the idea. She really is something special.

🤯 my mind is completely blown by this girl! You have made things so much clearer to me in your short videos with your clarity and easy way of learning then my decades of piecemeal, trying to learn these same concepts! Thank you thank you! I have played classical guitar since my early 20s I am 68 and I never consider myself a real musician because I’ve never been able to speak the language or understand the language that you are explaining it’s quite simple, but the terminology always tripped me up And I just thought it would be impossible for me. Like your explanation of a circle of fifths brilliant just brilliant, thank you I am really glad that I’m not going to die, being ignorant of such necessary terms and concepts! I feel like I just got a pass code into the musicians club! I’m currently studying for my level six exam, and will be taking it in a year.

[@interestedlen8823]

This will be a familiar story I'm sure... Fifty years ago, poor music teachers made this lesson unintelligible gibberish to kids with dyslexia, like me, then blamed us for being dumb. They locked many of us out of learning music theory for life. It was like being refused the alphabet, but wanting desperately to read. I've tried repeatedly but it never took. You just made this all so simple and sensible. Thank you Gracie for your gift of teaching, and for opening up the charmed circle again.

So my comment is to tell you that Jimmy Roger’s Standing around the Water Tank was one of my first songs on the guitar. I’ve been playing and reading 57 years now. I have played on the same stage with Tommy Emmanuel and now I’m focused on Classical and Latin music on nylon strings. Your videos on chord and interval theory are bringing back how difficult my Mel Bay books were. I did one of seven plectrum books a year. Lots of chord by visualization. Your education here is awesome!
