🎵 Music Theory For Dum-Dums (Explained in 6 minutes!)

[@CoreyLennox]

🎵 Check out my full music theory course right here! bit.ly/coreylennox-music-theory Right now I'm offering all 3 levels (beginner, intermediate, and advanced) into one bundle! So if you want to learn more about music theory from me, be sure to check it out.

[@NateFredricksen]

Thanks a LOT, jerk. Now I want to know more and take my love of music seriously enough to actually learn it. And I'm blaming YOU.

[@dsgant1616]

I am both a visual and logical thinker and this lesson was the perfect format for me. When you spoke about how music theory is what allows random “play by the ear” melodies to evolve or become fused with other ideas it really hit home. I’ll create parts that I love and they never become more than just parts. Music theory is the logical side of music that I am missing and I appreciate the time you spent delivering this tutorial. New sub for sure. :)

[@AdrianaGirdler]

LOVE the map in the intro. Understanding music theory is so important, even if it can be boring sometimes! Haha! Cheers!

[@HeatherGerhardt]

You are right, I usually turn away when people say the words music theory, but I am still watching!

[@drasteek]

Beatifully explained! Ive been writing music for 20+ years and i think your explanation is spot on!

[@CoreyLennox]

Means a lot coming from a fellow musician!

[@AFLive]

Those Eyes are so ALLURING

[@tonymoroc]

After hitting my head because so many theory videos are so up there own ass, this was really good to watch. Thanks for posting this.

[@Jordan_waters89]

I needed this! I am getting into being a music therapist and I am seeing how knowing some music theory is extremely beneficial.

[@CoreyLennox]

So glad this helped Jordan. Be sure to check out my much much better video on this here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4jRhYmfpb-aipY

[@michaelaxtell5024]

very good simple straight forward and to the "major point"

[@DoLifeHealthier]

Hey Corey, great video! You did a great job with the energy level and keeping our interest!

[@albertbrowning3958]

OMG! That was a great description/explaination

[@MikeSarge]

This is awesome! I know some people that need this video ⚡⚡⚡

[@manavibes1478]

This is amazing ! This is very eye opening to music ! Thank you

[@nedwizard]

A little note: in My Heart, chords shift from Am-G-F-G progression to C-G-F-C-G-C later in the song.

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

Yeah, by starting out minor, it sounds sad (the Am), and when it gets into that big build, the want is stronger, so, switch to major (C).

[@FatBoyDoug]

I love music theory!! I wish I knew more! I took AP Music Theory in high school and there’s just so much more!! Thanks for the video Corey! Awesome as always

[@FatBoyDoug]

Piano With Corey I played Clarinet for about 10 years and was in choir in HS and college

[@TheMarlz2]

I’ve learned nothing from this or any other music theory video / course over the last 4 years. Should I just give up?

[@braxtonm9712]

your voice made it easy to understand thank you

[@CoreyLennox]

Glad to be able to help Braxton!

[@isosnitsky]

4:50 Wait, wait, wait, what is a chord? How you make one? It's as though you jumped over a few steps.

[@aswathymohan5423]

I am gonna watch all of your videos. Thank you. Happy new year. 💝🥰😍

[@lamajigmeg]

great insight - liked and shared

[@RemainForeverHealthy]

You explain this well. You are a great teacher.

[@trilldrew214]

Omg it clicks for me! Thank you so much very helpful

[@RVersity]

This is all new to me but very interesting.

[@HeatherGerhardt]

Music theory is always the hardest!

[@olegkhegay2025]

4:30 pls explain why the song starts from this position ?

[@kinan2934]

that's what the composer wanted?

[@sxcdekj6155]

This is so awesome. Thank you so much 💗💗💗

[@katyayoshida9550]

This is such a great video!

[@SarcasticCommentHere]

Well this certainly does clarify a little bit more about music theory... especially as someone who hates it! NOW DO A DEEP DIVE! SHOCK ME WITH YOUR KNOWLEDGE!!

[@SarcasticCommentHere]

@@CoreyLennox it was dumb and hard and the worst and yeah

[@SarcasticCommentHere]

Piano With Corey how dare you compare beautiful Hades to bleh music theory!

[@TeandraPfeil]

OMGoodness this was so fun! The references were on pointe, lol :-)

[@Ginobiliiiii]

Good video! Subscribed

[@shway.6269]

This is amazing content Thank you

[@GentleHeart001]

I think I must be dumb. I have no idea how you figured out the melody numbers and what the chords were to the song. Is that just ear training? I mean I need this kind of music theory but I didn't understand this. :(

[@GentleHeart001]

I think so. :D Thank you for replying

[@i_am_gohan9232]

I still didn’t understand it neither. Some things are just super hard to learn unfortunately

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

So, we're using the Am because relative minor, yes? Sounds sad. Gives you the chance to switch to C major (sounds happy) later. I know all major keys part up with a relative minor.

[@sixmonthssleep3057]

Excellent video, really helpful.

[@aardbeiwastaken]

I always thought music theory sounded cool. Although I don’t play piano, this will help with making my own melodies

[@Hyppho9]

Super helpful! I just had a (probably stupid) question: How do you know where to play your chords and scale notes? Could you have played the entire song further to the left/right?

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

Because it's on the sheet music. That note can only be that note on piano for that octave. If they have to switch the whole notation, they can indicate up or down an octave with a line and "8va." So the sheet would be read under or over that line at that time up or down an octave.

[@kringles65]

How does one know if it is a LOW 5 or a HIGH 5?

[@NikEternalLunch]

Just subbed!! This is awesome!!

[@CoreyLennox]

Glad you liked it! But my new one is even better, check this out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4jRhYmfpb-aipY

[@NikEternalLunch]

@@CoreyLennox Already been studying it! haha! It's amazing, very easy to grasp!

[@BrissetteSmithing]

I wish i could say this helped i think i need a teacher i did enjoy the video tho. i feel like im stuck in a rut like i can learn any song reading tabs but i cant jam with my friends cause idk how to jump in on a song. (I play bass btw)

[@jschultzf3]

By music theory, I'm assuming you mean Theory of a Deadman?

[@claytonwolf8827]

Is it just me or is the panning for the speech panned to the right a lot?

[@mainjockeynumbaone]

Thanks!

[@iamsmackd7559]

thank you for the refresher from hs!!!

[@lilaeaton6939]

Am I the only one who finds music theory interesting? I’m studying this in my free time on summer break 💀

[@CoreyLennox]

You’re definitely not alone. And if you liked this, you’re going to love my way better video on it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4jRhYmfpb-aipY

[@kyearamack8474]

New to learning the piano so I found this pretty helpful. My only question is how do you know when it's a low 5 or a high 5 based on the example that you give?

[@kyearamack8474]

@@CoreyLennox Ahh I see. Thanks! I'll definitely check out the full lesson.

[@adisadis6313]

Why should be dummies?....its a new knowledge

[@anasanas-bf6ud]

three days grace

[@fridayparson]

Why would you use as your first example in a for dummies video, a song which immediately complicates/breaks the pattern with this low 5, high 5 business? You told us you would be using just those 7 keys and then immediately use a key outside of those 7. This is the problem with all music theory for beginners videos. They throw you in the weeds without explanation and then immediately start building on this foundation of sand.

[@CoreyLennox]

This was the last video in a series. Check this one out instead, it’s WAY way better. I start at the very beginning: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4jRhYmfpb-aipY
