The reason why I brought this test into play, is to prove that the link that I had mentioned above is really recommended(by me) - http://www.pitchmasterpro.com/?hop=dngmusic And this is why...

Once again, the correct spelling would start off with Fb rather than E because were spelling Fb-Minor, not E-Minor. Same note(enharmonic), wrong spelling. And The correct spellings for the Fb-Minor Chord as a whole would be as follows - Fb,Abb,Cb(F-flat, A double flat, and C-flat). You see, were looking for some kind of an A, not some kind of a G. Feel Me!

But you still have the theory down as I see. Good job, keep it up! And one more thing - if you wanna become more fluent in knowing what notes are what by ear, stop playing around and take my word for it and get your hands on this program that I'm speaking of. I'll hit you up on a p.m. pretty soon.

damn haha, i didnt know it went that far. havnt had all that many lessons yet, i knew that an E could also be a Fb but i had no idea about double flats/sharps haha.

i'll seriously consider the program, i just wish there was like a demo or somethin so i could see just how it works and look at the potential. right now i'm going trough a funding issue. i havnt even bought any clothes in a long long time to fund music, so taking risks like that is a difficult desicion.

Tell me about it ! I haven't had a j.o.b.(just over broke) in a minute. And my unemployment checks have stopped until this coming-up November(which is when I can start receiving again). But hopefully I will have a j.o.b. before then. If not, oh well! They will be doing me a favor by allowing me to study all day...

I watched him earlier, then stopped because on every video the sound went lower and lower

Your speaking of David, the courses that I'm referring to?  If so, I don't seem to have a problem with that.  He warns you that it could happen throughout the series, due to some reason which I can't think of right now.  But I haven't had no trouble with the audio.

^ i dont get why all those music teaching site are all over the place like ''I CRACKED THE CODE OF MUSIC THEORY, SO CAN YOU'' and ''YOU WILL NOT REGRET USING OUR METHODS!''

Yeah, I feel you... it must work.   I had a teacher in high school that taught me just about all the (Jazz Improvisation) music theory I know in about three weeks.   http://www.jazzbooks.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=FREE&Store_Code=JAJAZZ  lots of free pdfs on Jazz Scales and Chords and Improv.   Pick up the handbook too... that was like my life for about a year when I got out of the Army. 

If you practice those scales exercises on any instrument and sing along with it and practice transcribing music regularly your ear will develop quickly.  There's no secret,  sing what your trying to transcribe, find the first note then the second ect.   eventually you get faster.   Developing relative pitch is a matter of hearing the scales constantly.  

Theory is actually pretty easy  every other white key is chords, every white key is scales... learn that in all twelve keys is just fingerings,  it's all over the internet.  Start from each white key and that's the "modes".   Use flash cards to learn the names... If Dora Plays Like Me Al's Lost -  Ioinian, Dorian, Phrygian Lydian, Mixolydian, Aoelian, Locrian.   Start from C and play eight notes that's Ioinian.  Apply that to some playalongs or make beats that are just one chord at a time.   In about a month you'll be a monster... it's just like "times tables" really, tedious but not really all that hard.

The "double flat" type theory I learned in one term at community college in a basic classical theory class.  Cadences and all that crap... I don't use it too much to be honest.   Learning to write as well as "spell" was really helpful as well as having a timetable.  

Writing my assignments on the bus... not fun, but now I can write music just about anywhere.

Thanks for sharing!

I had to learn piano for music theory. I learned enough to get me by WHICH STILL is 8 billion times better than stupid videos. Basically if you can read music (whether its letters or on a staff) and you know where C is on a piano, I think youre good for gold.

For figuring out melodies, its good to sing the starting pitch or note and poke the piano keys till you find it. haha

Fb....A double flat....C flat...
the enharmonic way of spelling Fb minor
:-)

There's a great dvd set called "Learn and master piano" it's great. I highly recommend it. if you purchase it, they give you a book and like 9/10 dvd's or something. It's really worth it tho.

I guess most of us here learned piano due to music theory. But we have to admit that learning piano gives us an upper hand for those who don't and just trust their limited knowledge in music theory. I'm just saying.

That would be a great offer...

bout to check it out!
