Thanks professor!

Hi Professor. I was searching for Academic, Educative, Instructional videos for Music Theory. for a while, I find few. But, your videos they are the number One. Thank you for helping us. I wish I have these videos when I was a kid. “No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.” Charles Dickens. Thank you Professor.

Only 2 lessons in and everything is already connecting!! Don't know where you are now in life, but know that your videos are still helping growing musicians in need🙏

Personally, I like to find natural minors via "deducting" 3 accidentals. So if E major has 4 sharps, E minor has 1 sharp (always F). If D major has 2 sharps, D minor has 1 flat (always B). If Ab major has 4 flats, Ab minor has 7 flats, and so on.

In natural minor, since the 7th, the 3rd and the 6th tones respectively are always the latest sharps added to the scale, this would always land you at a key signature identical to the relative major (doesn't work with Harmonic and Asc. Melodic unfortunately).

Another helpful shorthand: adding a # to the scale name adds 7 sharps to the key itself, opposite with flats. Very helpful for intervals, if you're finding ignoring the accidental and adding it later too distracting.

14:40 that’s a funny story, which also makes me grateful that you’re saving me the expense of having to pay for college in order to music theory. Thank you for that, your tutorials are a blessing.

[alstanremedios]

This inspires me. as a 20yr old music freak, as a composer, and as an aspiring teacher. Love you, Prof! Love your lecs!

[alexandrelevy]

that's when you feel blessed to have come across such a true unpretentious and inspiring teacher....THANK YOU!!

[jdchanastro]

I just found your channel. You're amazing lecturer. Thank you.

[mircelo.]

As someone who has always been apathetic towards the lectured teaching method, I must honestly admit I'd be honored and intrigued to sit in a classroom as one of your student. Your poise and avidity for all-things-music is inspirational to say the least; never thought I'd find myself pondering over how much I miss those lecture halls in college. Thanks Dr. B.,

[Rhemzzzy]

This helped my revise a lot. The most interesting music professor right here! Keep up the good work

[alexandrelevy]

I've been looking for such tutorials for a very long time...You sir are both a true teacher and a class act! Thank you so much for this amazing resource.If I stick with it I'll visit your patreon to support you. More than well deserved...

[dudemanxx]

Thank you so much for having this up- it seems like it'll be an invaluable resource in my journey through music. This is exactly what I've been looking for. Excited to go through the entire course (maybe a couple times).

I love these formulas so much. Before these vids I'd imagine shifting the circle of 5th to derive the minor keys from the major keys. I like this way more.

[BlessedByGod]

Dr. No lie may the heavens be with you for the wisdom and knowledge you share. Thank you for taking my mediocrity to another level I cant thank you enough for what you provided. You are a great man doctor. Full respect to you sir.

[ragingchimera]

Wow, 2 lessons in and this is amazing stuff! I have shared this with all my musician friends, such a wonderful wealth of knowledge! Thank you Doc Brellochs!

[brianbrackeen]

Natural teacher here, thank you so much for providing such a wealth of information. I am learning music theory later in life and these clear explanations and excellent formula are just what the doctor ordered :)

[lilienespanol]

Very helpful, thank you! Doing intervals like this is so much easier than counting (whole, step, half step, etc).

[terryadamson]

Another great video. I struggled to imagine the practical application of knowing the intervals but I assume that this will become clear as I make my way (painfully slowly!) through the videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
