At this time, the PDF is only available to Patreon supporters. Maybe in the future I will make it available for free or on a different website, which is why I don't specify the website in my video and just refer to it as a "link". This gives me flexibility for the future since I cannot edit my video later down the road once I've already posted it to YouTube. My Patreon supporters make it possible for me to make these videos on YouTube, and I like to thank them by providing them with bonus materials. If you like what I do, you can support me as well on Patreon for $5/month. Music is how I make my living, and I can't tell you what a big difference their support makes.

YouTube can be frustrating, but all us home-taught musicians should thank our lucky stars for it, particularly gifted teachers like Gracie.

Gracie
Let me first thankyou from the core of my heart... I am 66 years old, have done my grade 5with distinction from TCL, some 30years back... I am from India ( state of West Bengal). Have forgotten everything in staff notation and I am a music composer by profession. Some of my songs are extremely popular amongst Bengalis all over the world. I have come across many music teachers...but honestly you are the best . Iam following your channel regularly which is helping me to recapitulate the theories of music I had earlier learnt and forgotten.Thanks once again.GOD BLESS 🙏

In some hallowed music conservatory, there is a professor worrying about his tenure because you are giving away his lessons for free.
THANK YOU GRACIE TERZIAN!

I don’t binge-watch movies on tv. I DO binge-watch music theory videos and yours are the BEST on YouTube. Thank you so much for all you do. I would love to have you for a teacher.

Gracie, thanks for filling in the fine details that others might assume are obvious. The signs of a great teacher are that they first, know the fine details of the subject and second, do not assume the student knows any of those details. I don't mind sitting through information that I THOUGHT I knew because the repeated info reinforces and fills in my weak spots. Much of what you teach in this lesson was absolutely foreign to me so, you made my intellectual day with this lesson. I'm really looking forward to the next lesson as to the whys of the minor scales.

[davidsellers]

You teach with love and energy that inspires, not only by your knowledge but your unique ability to impart it. This can be both humbling and addictive, a musical treasure.

When it came to music theory I was like Homer Simpson. I was struggling to concentrate but since watching your videos and the way you teach I'm totally focused. Thank you for putting the videos on YouTube..👍

[willrobertson]

I’ve studied music for 50 years and Gracie is the best teacher I have found!

[anaherrera]

You are gifted to teach. Thank you so much for sharing this and taking the time to explain things. I've never taken a music class until now and I got so lost. Next week is midterms. I'm so thankful that I found your channel. Thanks!

[davidlegalley]

I've watched this lesson several times and each time I get a deeper understanding on the value and simplicity of this lesson!! Thank you Gracie 🎯👍🏾👍🏽

[joshellyson]

Ms Gracie, you are such a skilled teacher. It is truly amazing how you can take what is often inscrutable (music theory) and then for those of us who started out learning music by ear translate that it into concepts that finally make sense. What is particularly distinctive is not just the "tricks" to memorizing these rules, but perhaps more importantly, the genuine graciousness with which you deliver the teaching. Like so many here, i have learned so much under your tutelage. Thank you very much.

Finally an explanation on why it's not necessary to play the melodic minor scale differently when descending, especially for non-classical musicians!

[michaeldavidx]

I'm so happy I found your channel, I'm basically teaching myself in my music classes and I would not survive without these videos, thanks you!

[alankirk]

Excellent! You explain these concepts with crystal clarity. On my second attempt to look at minor scales I came across this video and you've made everything just fall into place. Thank you!

[jac]

After 50 years, you finally make me realize the music scales aren't as hard as I have thought.

[abrahamsetti]

Oh my! She's an amazingly wonderful teacher! Wish I knew her before. Thank you Gracie for such a helpful video on minor scales

[AwesomeFinish]

I've been binging your videos for hours. I've been playing piano and guitar for over 30 years, mostly self taught to play by ear. I wanted to learn music theory and found your videos, and I'm glad I did!

[daveseek]

Your Music Theory videos are just stunning. Thanks to you I learned the western 12-TET system and interconections between its notes in no time. I watched more videos about circle of fifths, scales, chords etc... It also added something to overall understanding, but your way of teaching and explaining is truly one of the best out there and makes understanding a breeze. Thank you for the time you put in to make these videos.

[jeffh]

I learn more in 25 minutes from you than anyone else on YouTube. Outerbanks NC thanks you!! 😀

This girl is a beast. Her channel is an absolute gold mine on youtube. Thank you so much
