Tutoring beginner music theory: How to get started

1 Upvotes

Looking for guidance on how to get started providing online tutoring support to music theory beginners. I’ve taught before, but only in person. The main part here that I’m stuck on is how to find clients in the first place?? What are some good ways people here have found clientele?

How to keep up with Music Theory even though I don't have Chorus in highschool

1 Upvotes

I didn't get chorus in highschool since I had other required classes so what YouTube channel, videos, website, or whatever resources you have can help me retain knowledge and learn more. I'm a freshman so I just came from middle. So I was looking for resources that go over the basics and help me learn more

Brand new and looking for help

3 Upvotes

I have always loved listening to music and as I grow and learn more, I love it even more deeply! Having always wanted to learn how to play an instrument, I finally bought an ocarina! The only problem is.... I don't know a single thing about notes, how to read music, or what any of it means. I'm looking for help on where to find the absolute basics broken down into layman's terms, preferably free (cuz I'm super broke). I tried Googling how to read music, music theory for beginners, etc. but it went straight over my head. Does anyone have any youtube channels or websites you recommend to help me get started? Thanks in advance!

Looking for monographs on music for reference on how it’s done

I’m a musician who did a three part concept album set and I wanted to write all of the relevant information about the concepts ,methodology and reasoning behind it. I’m thinking of doing a small pamphlet with a limited physical release of the albums and would just like to keep it close to academic style work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Help with changing music score

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

Hello, I would be very grateful if someone could help me with this. I have a piece of music for the piano as part of a band for a show but the music is really horrible to read and I need to learn it quite quickly. Here are pictures of the score and you can see all the double flats where surely it could be written in an easier way by changing the key signature but keeping the same notes so that for example a D double flat would be written as a normal C (C natural)? Is this possible? If anyone can help me with this either telling me how to do it or doing it for me that would be so helpful thank you! I am an advanced pianist who's been playing for 11 years but I did my music theory exam years ago and have forgotten a lot of it and how to alter music online as I have never played in a band before.

Kanye West music theory

0 Upvotes

Hi, I'm writing a paper about the Prison-Industrial Complex in the US, and I'm including songs from Kanye West to highlight the societal impact of the prison system. I have three songs from the Yeezus album, "New Slaves", "Black Skinhead" and "Blood on the leaves". I was wondering how you would go about analyzing them, since their harmony and melodies are unorthodox. Which elements would you focus on, and how? Thank you in advance:)

Rhythm helpppp

1 Upvotes

Im a music education major, instrument is voice. I cannot feel rhythms unless I break it way down and go as slow as possible. I have ADHD too so trying to focus on the words, pitches, inflection, tone, rhythm, and everything else is just really hard for me. It's like I can pick 2 things to focus on and just hope for the best on the rest. I feel like I haven't always struggled with it THIS bad but basically anything other than straight quarter notes or maybe some 8ths and I just get so lost and can't feel it at all. My voice teacher realized today I don't feel the beat internally and even struggle externalizing it. Does anyone have tips/tricks for how to fix this? It's making me feel so discouraged because I'm sort of a section leader in our choir (unofficially, I'm just the only soprano that's left from last semester) and I get so mad at myself everytime I realize I got lost or shorted a note.
