I read all of that but have absolutely no idea what's going on
mtgnerd
Stopped reading from the first terrible grammatical error. Don't act like a douchecanoe if you can't speak properly, yourself.

For all the "guitar players", please explain tonic, dominant and subdominant next...
IanHartsough
To your original question, it's a tetrad
IamNoneOfTheThingsISayIam
You need to simplify this. A lot. And don't use a weird clef for no reason. I like the angry tone though.
Sloppydrunkcatlady
As a music teacher I want to steal this, but I also teach middle school. Probably.....not a good idea....

I read this in Billy on the streets voice. https://youtu.be/HBOpO7RgS64

As a guitar player attempting to strengthen my tenuous grasp on music theory (reading the music as chords) this is helpful.
xiongmao1337
would love to see an angry secondary dominants lesson
ChickensAreGoodPets
Maybe I should finally learn to play
NaryaNenyaVilya
I bring in Oreos to teach chords. Regular Oreos represent minor thirds, and Mega-Stuf are Major thirds. It works for all Triads/Sevenths
PedroBenecol
More!
zerothealien
;-; im stupid and barely understood most of this
KeezieWeezie
I'm a music teacher and I don't think I would have understood this if I didn't already know all of it
yellowturtle01
Wha?
remalle
Why the octaved clef though?
dejavutoyoutoo
This was helpful. I always had treble with understanding theory.

That looks painful. Schumann would be triggered.
UncomfortableTruths
As someone who already learned the basics of sheet music before taking a single music class, I hated how any class about playing any -
UncomfortableTruths
instrument included going over basic sheet music reading. I KNOW THIS ALREADY, WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME
R1200GS
Surly music instructor... must be a nun. My nun piano teacher nearly broke my hands with a ruler when I insisted "a third" is 33.333333333%
H0dari
Aw man, I thought this would be a guide on how to compose stuff like punk rock and thrash metal....
undergroundpoopface
Guide for punk rock. You funny
BronzElefantz
This is way too complicated. Just know your key signatures along with the relative major and minor.
Keru
Somewhere out there, Fusion Jazz is just laughing madly.
flautista2013
Agreed! I didn't know a thing about chords until college!
BanadecCamberbootch
@OP no augmented or diminished? or are those for next edition?
catneep
Yeah thought about that :)
Sveniat
where's my neapolitan 6ths!
BanadecCamberbootch
German Augmented sixths make my chord change, ifyouknowwhatimean

I once got kicked out of grade school. It was my suspended 4th.

As a music teacher I WILL be stealing this kthanks

As a music teacher, I didn't think this was very helpful

WHAT ABOUT TRITONES?
lapanim
*hushed whisper* we said we would never talk of the tritones...
TubaBandito
I have not signed the pact.

Jazz musicians hate him
repurposedschleem
Why the octave treble clef?
IamNoneOfTheThingsISayIam
Seriously! What the fuck....
TheUltimateChimera
I know guitar music is written an octave higher than the actual pitch. Probably something similar
CraftyyWitch
I don't understand any of this :(( always wanted to play the piano but my fingers are mentally challenged
themintypigeon
The more you do it, the less dumb your fingers will become.
stoploggingmeoutImgurIfuckingswear
Start with kids books like Teaching Little Fingers to Play. Start there, advance as you feel confident. You pick up this stuff organically.
stoploggingmeoutImgurIfuckingswear
Highly recommend going through the John Thompson's Modern Course. The pace is good with that series.
Sveniat
you could always play the trombone. No finger dexterity required!
CraftyyWitch
Ah yes, however my music reader (brain) is also challenged
ravehype
Who was being bad at music that u mad dis
catneep
Being a music teacher.. students mostly?
MemerdJamesKeenan
I've played guitar for 15 years. Still struggle with this musical theory. Been playing drums for 6 years. Still don't get it.
PrinceTopher
Watching musical theatre majors do theory hurts me
Irohnevermadesweettea
As a fellow music educator, thank you for the laugh. That was wonderful.
Terse
Question, if you wouldn't mind. Why not split G/G# into B# and E#? All scales could follow the same pattern and be easier to transcribe.
SpiderUnderYourPilllow
As an AP theory student, this shall be helpful in studying for my exam. Thanks.
bethski
Thank you for this. I shall also be stealing for yr12. From, a fellow music teacher
GingerSwan
As a music student... Sorry. I stuck at theory but I love practical and history

itsthevoiceman
I need to rewrite my brain to understand key signatures. They fuck me up so hard.
LikeTotallyNotTheNSA
Any idea of software that translates midi to notation?
Zreen
I know Muse Score and at least Sibelius does it (not sure about current version or Finale), but you'd have to manually reassign midi into
Zreen
separate tracks and instruments in musescore and that takes a frustrating amount of time
afmgreentea
I think Finale can do that, but unless you're willing to throw a couple hundred dollars toward that project, find something cheaper.
icutonionsforaliving
I just came back from a week-long workshop discussing chords and scales... this amuses me.
Thespoonfeed
A week long workshop discussing chords and scales? For a week? No.
icutonionsforaliving
Oh, it was really fun! we also played in combos, had a bit of group practice, set up a bigband. /1
icutonionsforaliving
Overall it was a great experience, and learning from great German and international Jazzers like Harald Rüschenbaum and Rick Margitza /2
zefcat45
But do you know alto clef?????
TheUltimateChimera
Tenor clef is where it's at yo.
Sloppydrunkcatlady
FUCK ALTO CLEF
afmgreentea
As a music major, I wasn't able to read in alto clef until I started teaching viola lessons.
WhatisaYute
Did a baroque opera and all voices were in their respective clefs. To figure out the ens. pieces, I had read them all...thanks, Handel.
merp213
Right! Us viola's need love too.
zefcat45
Yeah! We need to stick together!
Irohnevermadesweettea
We don't talk about alto clef.
afmgreentea
First rule of alto clef: don't talk about alto clef
zefcat45
It's the forgotten clef :(
kwettina
what is this thing
Sveniat
as a trombone major I had to learn alto and trable clef. On two different types of trombone (alto and tenor). I was always awful at alto...
TheUltimateChimera
We don't talk about alto trombone
wibblywobblytimeywimey
But can we talk about my soprano trombone? It's just so darn cute! /a/xBFlg
Sveniat
i've got one of those! they're super fun
wibblywobblytimeywimey
They really are. They don't have much of a practical purpose, but they're fun to bring to jam sessions.
