@@MusicMattersGB You really do cover the ground, and I'm extremely grateful - as are your other thousands of subs. I play guitar but never saw the need for any of this stuff (didn't read music etc) until subject scheduling left my daughter with no alternative but to study A level music (which she begins in September). She plays piano reasonably well but is very bad on theory/reading music etc. so I am learning theory with her in order to support her through the summer as she tries to get to grade five theory by late August. Your lessons are an invaluable tool in helping her succeed. And for that, I am eternally in your debt.

Dear sir, I love your videos so much and i learn a lot from it! thanks! but you know english is not my native league,so sometimes I feel quite confuse! in this video, At one minute and 19 seconds, you said"But when you come to writing the melody for THAT,all THIS should apply in some way again.",I am not sure what does this sentence mean and what does "that and this"refer to? At 3 minute and 44 seconds, he said"and if you can begin to hear what you're doing,and you want to be very creative,then there'll always be credit given for that if it works." I am confused about this sentence too! would you please explain those two sentences to me,thank you so much! have a nice day !
@MusicMattersGB3 жыл бұрын
Don’t worry too much about the second sentence. It’s just saying that if you don’t want to follow the suggested plan you could do something more creative and credit will be given if it works. The first sentence is encouraging you to learn the technique then apply it to any situation.

Gareth can I ask, how do you feel about atonal contemporary music? I only ask because I am loving all your videos on composition/music theory/writing in keys etc, but I have found out many undergraduate music schools/colleges etc are pushing atonal contemporary music on students, one professor actually said to me in a email he cares not for key signatures, it is a thing of the past, and why do something what many have done before. I listened to some of this "new music" and I can not enjoy it, I can not hum the melody, it just sounds like noise and I wonder how people can call that music, I have no idea what to do as I want to do a degree in composition but this particular conservatoire does not teach students to write in key at all. I spoke to others about it and quite a few people said the same thing at their university, they push atonal music and will not let the students be creative in what they have passion for, another guy said he was told writing a symphony is something of the past and that is not composing, then kicked him of the course. I really do not know what to do as I want to pursue a career in composition, but I do not want to be told I must write my own music in a certain style which has no sense of key or tonality
@MusicMattersGB8 жыл бұрын
+anton mclouglin Hi. I can appreciate your position here. Many people would like to explore composition in more traditional styles. Most Universities want to encourage 'original' composition rather than pastiche. The challenge is to find a way of being original while still writing in a style that has integrity for you. Whichever direction one takes in relation to style, I think technique is essential. That's why the traditional skills of writing harmony, learning to design a melodic line, orchestration etc equip one with the technique needed to move in any direction.

Very professional lesson. Btw, are you also an artist or sculptor of some kind?

Glad you enjoyed it. Much more material at www.mmcourses.co.uk No I'm not an artist or a sculptor - just a musician.

The e natural clearly indicates that it is not f sharp minor.

+Corrie De Beer Absolutely true in this case but don't forget that e natural MIGHT be something to do with F# minor descending melodic minor i.e. there may be a mixture of E# and E natural. Hope you found the film helpful.

Bar 7 is only worth 3 beats instead of 4 beats
@MusicMattersGB7 жыл бұрын
+Premalatha Emmanuel Bar 7 comprises a dotted crotchet, a quaver, two quavers and a crotchet, so that totals four beats. All the best.
