Another update - more streaming issues, more advanced lectures

Hello all,

If you made time for the whole live lecture thing this past week, I'd like to sincerely apologize. A combination of work and school made streaming impossible. I'll give more forewarning if I think I'll be unable to do the whole live lecture thing. I've been toying around with justin.tv. Livestream is infested with ads, and I've had a plethora of inconsistencies and reliability issues.

It seems like a significant number of you guys are more interested in some of the more esoteric and difficult aspects of music theory, so I've been poking at a lecture where we take a relatively harmonically complex piece of music and break it down step by step. Taking a leaf from r/musictheory, I've selected the first 20 seconds of Ravel's 'Valses nobles et sentimentales'.

Take a sneak peak at the new lecture notes here:

Lecture notes for scale fundamentals are posted:

Another thing that I'm behind on: answer keys for the little practice puzzles I stuck onto the end of lesson two. Should I keep doing this? If nobody's getting anything out of it, I'll cut it out. I'll have the answers up, er - soon.

Up next: Key signatures and the formation of diatonic chords!
