IT'S HERE! In this third video, continue your music theory learning path. If you've followed these videos, you learned how the notes in the western, 12-tone system work and how to read the notes on the treble clef, all in just two minutes. In this latest video, learn to read the notes on the bass clef and learn how and why the treble cleff and bass clef combine to form the grand staff, ALL IN JUST ONE MINUTE!

I'm busy uploading to different social media platforms but I couldn't wait to share this link with you. Please add the playlist, like and subscribe on YouTube so you'll always know when a new video drops. I'm shooting for every Friday afternoon/evening.

The second music theory short has just been posted to David Peterson Harvey's Odysee account. We're still setting up the Art Music & More page there, so it won't happen at once.

If you prefer Odysee or Rumble to YouTube, you can find our shorts there as well.

The next video, scheduled to post tomorrow, teaches reading the bass clef and the grand staff in just one minute, I'll post when it's uploaded and hope you'll join me there.

Peace,
David

Learning music theory doesn't have to be difficult. We plan to add one short video a week to build a foundation in music theory. This video starts with the basics of the 12 tone system, including natural notes, accidentals and octaves. We're working on the next video for release this Friday that will teach you how to identify all the notes on the treble staff.

We may have closed the physical location of the learning center but music and art education are still an important part of our lives. David has just started a YouTube series called, "Music Theory Shorts."

I've set up a Discord server called "David Peterson Harvey's Strange World." This will operate in conjunction with my video series of the same name that focuses mainly on music production and music theory for music producers that want the knowledge of a college music theory course in practical application along with music production and sound design.

If you are interested, please feel free to join the server at

Check out the David Peterson Harvey's Strange World community on Discord - hang out with 1 other members and enjoy free voice and text chat.

Since David loves doing strange, experimental sound design for music, he has created a Space Ambient playlist on YouTube. He'll be creating similar on Odysee and Rumble. Here's the first addition to the new playlist, "Sunrise on Venus."

We hope you enjoy it.

The hauntingly beautiful work of Gyorgi Legeti makes use of compositional techniques such as microtonality, polytonality and polyrythms while also exploring the range of timbres available on instruments.
