Hey, I'm Jesse, a composer and music theorist. I believe that Music Theory is a practical and valuable artform for all musicians throughout their lifetime. On this channel, I am making videos to help all musicians grow in their understanding of music theory and how it can make them a better musician.

My music teacher was explaining this last week, and it was starting to finally make sense. I watched this video, and it fully clicked! Thank you!

When you have a huge theory exam tmrw but suck at doing said theory and your brain just melts while you cry, you go to YouTube

[MrAwesometater]

So glad that you’re doing this. Personally, I find these videos to be helpful as, although I have the passion and curiosity to take AP music theory, my school isn’t offering it. Super helpful. Keep it up.

Great video! I was always confused between the augmented and diminished chords.

[joelgade]

I haven't seen anyone explaining the dim & aug in such a beautiful way, very easy to understand even if u hear it once.
Really great ❤❤❤💕

Thank you for breaking down theory into two minute chunks. Love it.

[Slooby]

Been producing music for 8 years, never quite fully understood this. Perfect concise explanation, thanks!

Oh wow I’m understanding. After learning about the circle of fifths and then the Roman numeral system. I’m glad I understand this to progress my learning of chords properly! Can’t wait to use this

Great stuff. As a three-chord guitar player I was able to sit down at my daughter's piano and (with the aid of the pause button) work this out, at least doubling my knowlege of music theory. Subscribing!

[roshjackham]

Dude why are you not the top rated music theory channel this was awesome. Thank you thank you.

[joseluismendoza]

[markeliezerarnoco]

Thank you so much! I've had learn piano by my own few years ago but I didn't really understand what augmented and diminished chords were but thought to understand it now fully. And your explanation was so simple I understood it for just 3 mins. 🙂

[tkalsnv]

Thanks for a clearly and concisely explained part of chord theory. I find your clips easy to understand (I had to watch the #6 clip more than once) and helpful. I appreciate you sharing them here.
