Teoria provides on-line music tutorials and exercises for people who would like to know what those black dots on the funny lines mean. Every Good Boy Deserves FPPs. (Flash)
  • Now that's pretty cool.
  • Holy shit ... D minor really is the saddest of all keys.
  • Holy shit ... Sorry seems to be the hardest word.
  • Holy shit ... the supertonic chord has a subdominant function and can be used as a substitute of the IV degree.
  • thank you for the music, plegmund.
  • Holy shit ... D minor really is the saddest of all keys. Oh God I wish I had a treble clef
  • Verra nice! I see my interval identification isn't what it should be.
  • Pfft. Goes on about Major Triads and doesn't even mention Sun Yee On...
  • My daughter recently started piano lessons, and in spite of having done several years of the same at her age, sung in a choir, and played in a school orchestra (alright, only the second orchestra, and only percussion) I find I can actually no longer read the music well enough to tell where she's going wrong.
  • I'm feeling very mixolydian today.
  • Verra nice! I see my interval identification isn't what it should be, Perfect fourth - The Wedding March. Augmented fourth - Maria. Minor third - So Long, Farewell. Minor sixth - Love Story. No matter how much solfege I've done in the intervening years, that's how my brain always identifies them.
  • I always remembered the Church modes with the scenario of eating leftovers. I open the door to the fridge, open the lid, and mix some oil into the okra.
  • Underpants- don't feel inadequate- I teach advanced ear training and I teach the intervals that way to my students (albeit supported by dissonant chords to make it tougher)
