[@paulussantosociwidjaja4781]

I learned them as BRAVE and Semi BRAVE instead of Semi Breave or BREVE and Minim (the rest all the same), but in MIDI programming I use the American ways as they are more related with direct quantize value. Thank you for the learning.

​@@MusicMattersGB Thank you! I`m looking forward to learn a lot. Although i read, "knowledge destroys love" by J. Krishnamuri. In the sense of, you observe a tree and when you give the tree a name, the thought of the name disturbs the moment you observe the tree. while you listening to any kind of music, do you think all the time "oh there he did this and there he left this." ? Or do you enjoy the music without thinking ? Let the music work your brain.

I think you can both be moved by the music and discover beauty in understanding the internal detail.

​@@MusicMattersGB Ok, makes sense, even simultaneously should be possible. One question please regarding your courses. I would like to compose what sounds good to me. At the moment i am getting used to interval.- hearing, singing, names, use and places on the guitar. What other tools could be helpful and do you offer them? :D

[@MusicMattersGB]

Hi. Our Theory courses would build musical knowledge and our Aural Dictation course really develops the ability to hear what’s going on and to translate sounds in your head into notation. Our composing a song recorded webinar would also help you. Have a look at ‘all courses’ at www.mmcourses.co.uk to find the courses suggested above. Enjoy!

What music theory book would you recommend? I'm interested in learning the fundamentals and I want to know about chord theory, harmony, counterpoint and other essentials in theory. I would like to compose more often. Any suggestions? Thank you so much. :)

[@MusicMattersGB]

Hi. Have a look at our online Theory course at www.mmcourses.co.uk/p/music-theory-grades-1-to-8 This covers everything you list. It’s explained step by step written down so you can see how to put it together and played with the piano keys lighting up on the screen so you can hear it all and see the notes. We have other courses too eg on Counterpoint. The multi-dimensional approach we take makes it better than trying to grasp theory from a book. Enjoy!

[@knan9252]

Thank you for sharing your precious knowledge with us, Mr. You're brilliant, sir. I was inspired by "Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso by Saint-Saëns", and therefore I want to take violin classes in near future (I am 20 by the way, I don't think to become professional, but for just getting new hobby and getting into music world, I want to learn playing violin). Therefore, I thought to start with basic music theory before commence to attend in violin class.(Because I don't have any musical background, I just want to create idea on my brain about "What is the music? "). And to conclude, I would say, your videos are so instructive and helpful to me. Thanks again and again.

Thank you. I always wanted to learn the music theory. I have a good ear but never had the chance of going near any musical instrument to play growing up. As a middle age person, this is my chance to make amends to my younger years and the parents who were more interested in fighting each other than getting involved with child education!. As you can imagine I have nothing to do with them nowadays and plenty of time to learn from these videos!

[@rogermetzger7335]

My mother taught piano lessons for many years. In the U.S. we refer to a memory aid as a "pony". The ones she taught her students included the "whole" rest "looks like" a hole in the ground and the half rest "looks like" a hat. I don't know about other parts of the world but, here in the United States, one of the most common "mistakes" in music is for people to not give the "rests" their proper value. Thus, if the last measure of a musical phrase in 4/4 time includes a dotted half note and a quarter rest, some people will play (or sing) the three-beat note and then give the quarter rest half of its allotted value - so the measure gets only 3-1/2 beats before they begin to play (or sing) the first note of the next phrase. I sometimes wonder aloud how such people can manage to walk. Would they trip themselves if they tried to walk the way they "count" the beats in a song?

[@MusicMattersGB]

I agree about rests. It’s a common issue

[@rogermetzger7335]

@@MusicMattersGB It has occured to me that some people might be under the impression that being the first person to sing (or play) the first note of a musical phrase constitutes "leading the music". Just a theory. No basis in evidence.

Hahahaha, I just realized how straightforward our names are in French. The notes are called, in order you presented them: une ronde (a round), une blanche (a white), une noire (a black), une croche (a crooked, or maybe it’s from un crochet which is a hook) and une double (a double). I think it’s quite funny.

[@MusicMattersGB]

Yes I love the French names.

[@louloumoon1916]

Hi, I love your teaching style, I have Grade 5 theory but after a long break realize I have lost my feel for rhythm, I set a metronome when I play, mainly piano now, but do you offer a course that would develop this feel, that I have currently lost? Thanks.

[@MusicMattersGB]

Hi. That’s most kind. We have a course entitled Rhythm Bootcamp that absolutely addresses that agenda at www.mmcourses.co.uk Enjoy!

[@awallace630]

the way I have always remembered which is the semibreve rest and which is the minim is to imagine the stave as a water line and to think that the 'heavier' 4 beat brick would be below the water line, and the 'lighter' 2 beat brick would float on the surface of the water. got to remember that they are on different staves still, though :)

[@MusicMattersGB]

That works well

Another way to read the Semibreve and minim rests: Think of them being two boxes you can stack atop each other, but you can only see the highest in the stack.

[@MusicMattersGB]

That works nicely. It’s good to have some way of remembering the difference.

[@MyrkDomolith]

@@MusicMattersGB Indeed, and thank you. I do have a question- and I'm sorry for pestering you with all of these. What do multiple augmentation dots do to the length of a note? EX: Would a double-dotted crotchet have double its duration, 1 & 3/4ths or 1 & 1/4ths?

[@Alwpiano]

Sometimes I like to take slight cheats. For example, the start of Fur Elise on piano, I tell myself to do FIVE semitones (between E and Eflat) before descending. I'll count them in my head so I don't have to look at each individual note.

[@MusicMattersGB]

If it works go for it.

[@Alwpiano]

I can think if more. If I see G7 written, I tell myself "normal G7" as I discovered it first. If I see "Gmaj7", I tell myself "G with that semitonal thing going on" meaning the G and F#. 😄

[@MusicMattersGB]

It ticks.

[@kyma1999x]

very clear and good explanation, these videos are well done with a straight structure. the only thing I noticed the pause of the crotchet, there are different means to write them...here in Italy in old theory books are written like a double "quaver pause", which means something like a "Z" , rather than an inverted quaver pause.

[@MusicMattersGB]

Glad it’s helpful. Yes there are various ways of writing crotchet rests. See www.mmcourses.co.uk for much more.

[@BoltRM]

@@MusicMattersGB Curious what's the pattern of names after the semiquaver(1/4 beat), 1/8th, 1/16th etc? Surely not QuadQuaver or SemiSemiQuaver.. Where does the madness end? 🤔

[@MusicMattersGB]

Demisemiquaver, Hemidemisemiquaver

[@BoltRM]

@@MusicMattersGB Lol bravo!! Normally the UK & Europe seem to have more common sense than we in the US recently, (especially regarding the metric system!), but I gotta say the US music naming convention makes a Semi-breve lot more sense! 💪

Apologies that we can’t provide subtitles for our courses. You have lifetime access so you can pause and repeat as often as you need to.

Is it true that you can only have one whole note per bar to be able to subdivide it into half notes, 1/4 notes, 1/8th notes etc? Or is it ever possible to have a multitude of whole notes in a single bar? Just curious as I've started to learn drums.

[@MusicMattersGB]

Technically you could have more than one whole note per bar but in reality it’s very rare. You’re more likely to have faster moving rhythms.

Your voice is easy to listen to. I plan on using this knowledge to become a better guitar player.

This begs the question what is a whole breve and why name the basic unit as a half? I like whole, half, quarter,eighth and sixteenth much better then the dot adds half that value without worrying about quavers and minims much less breves and half breves.

[@MusicMattersGB]

A whole breve looks like a semibreve and has two vertical lines to the left and to the right. A Breve is 8 beats - hence Semibreve 4 beats
