Hi!
I have just watched two of your video's and I just wanted to say how clear and informative your style of teaching is - Thank you!
Also I have one question which I really hope you can help me with? I wanted to ask this.........
If you are composing a chorale and you do a first modulation from the to the dominant should your next modulation after that be to a related key of the tonic key or a related key of the dominant (the key modulated to after the tonic)? I hope this makes sense, it was hard to put it into words.
Thank you very much in advance for you time and help.

Wow, thank you! As a self-taught musician, I've spent years avoiding the Circle of Fifths, because it always seemed like some high-concept, arcane piece of theory. But this explanation is very straightforward and lays everything out very clearly. Like seemingly most things in music theory, it's a simple base concept that can be expanded into some very complex and interesting uses. Cheers!

This helps tie in secondary dominants A LOT more nicely; it helps to realize you simply can-t incorporate any key as a part of your secondary dominant, otherwise it-ll be dramatically abrupt. Thank you for this two in one lesson; you-re an excellent teacher!

Hello Music Matters! Thank you for your video and all your work ,it really helps.My question is when we modulate in a piece of music , do we change totally the key of the song or are we creating phrases in different chords and then we get back to the tonal key?

How can you use the circle of fifths to modulate to another -mode ( Ionian ) - in another key? instead of modulating to another Ionian mode in a key, how can you modulate to another mode in a key like Dorian, Phrygian, lydian

i find peter cetera's modulations pretty complex but still sounding very natural and attractive. would you do a video on what thoughts once can apply to do those kind of transitions especialy in orchestration. . Thanks

just a random thing, wouldn't the flat added to a Cb major key signature be an Fb, not an Ab? I know that Fb is just E, but it would be more correct than Ab, which gets added in Eb major

Thank you very kindly for these lessons. I've been playing piano for almost 30 years and I was oblivious to all of these nuances in music theory.

When writing a piece, do you keep the same key signature and use accidentals or change the key? Is there a best practice?
