Hi Gareth, I have a question not related to music theory.. is about the piano key touch.. im now 38yrs old and started to pick up piano again.. i have a digital piano that I can adjust the piano key touch from super light - super heavy. My fingers are not as strong and I find playing the piano with a Medium heaviness key touch (the default setting) a bit tiring.. Should I train my fingers playing on the piano with a Light key touch and then work my way up to be able to play at a more heavy key? Thank you in advance for your insight. Also, do you have a video about The Art of Piano Key Touch, like how should we play/hit the piano key?

Thank you so much for videos with great explanations, Mr. Green.
Mr., I'm very curious about how to write harmony melodies for a main melody when there are already chords (like for two singing voices), and how to sing a harmony melody just by hearing the existing melody with or without the beat (arrangement). I hope you will make a video about this subject, I'm very excited. Thank you -.

I am a tad confused. The top three are groupings of four bars - and so are the bottom three. Are they not for the right and left hands respectively? The first part you play appears on the sheet music as both being played in the right hand - bar 1 and 4 - yet you play it successively and right and left. Perhaps I am over thinking ot or missing something. Not trying to be dificult.

Is there any chance you could do the same video but with a piano roll in a sequencer so all us dimwits that can't read music can understand. I promise there are a lot more viewers who are beginners that can understand a piano roll more than a score. Please please please. I am trying to understand music theory in a modern way.

Amazing. I'm very amateur at best, to preface...
But it just sounded like such obvious and total garbage until the end it was a full Bach section. That's a miracle of theory. I'll review this multiple times as I work through some projects in the near future.

Thank you very much! I got good ideas to play melody in higher octave (right hand) with addition of two more notes in lower octave (left hand) to make chords. By making such arrangements in turn I gets idea to play dual melody both in parallel and contrary motion.

Oh, how I wish I'd had access to this lesson back in 1983, when I was studying counterpoint. My compositions would have been so much better (and would have no doubt have received higher marks). Thank you.

Really helpful explanation which I will apply to my jazz guitar playing and string quartet writing. Thanks!
Btw, what is the name of the software that you use that highlights the keyboard notes being played?

Great video. I would say that calling a first inversion i.e. Ib, is confusing, because the b, to me, looks like a flat. However, just my opinion this is a great video. Wish I had this at conservatory. Cheers

The -b- associated to the degree number may be confusing, it looks loke a -flat- sign; you'd better use a capital -B- or a -3 6- notation to indicate the -third and sixth- inversion.
