ok...thx so much, Ethan! Since I am a relative novice at all this, I am switching from your music theory lessons to some of the more basic ones. I appreciate your thoughtful responses, and I will definitely check out your forum and contact you with specific Q's. my head was spinning! My boyfriend, however, who has a more in depth background than I, (once-upon-a-time pro barbershop quartet singer!) was able to fathom more of the complexities. I will be happy just to learn to read music again...

Hey Ethan...this is really great stuff! Hard to absorb, though...will have to watch it repeatedly. Be nice to know a way or ways of practicing the information, so it sticks! :0)

I'm glad you like it Sheri. Yes, it's a lot of information to take in! I figured it's better to move along quickly and let people with less background watch a few times, rather than go too slowly for more advanced students. Also, I'm glad to answer questions about these lessons (or anything else related to audio and music) in my Audio Expert web forum. Then you can tell me more about your background, if you play any musical instruments , and so forth.

For some reason I can't add a link to my forum. So just Google my name, go to my web site, and there's a link to my forum on the home page. I can give you more detailed advice in my forum than I can here.
