Music Theory for Electronic Music -- Final Tips

All right, we have reached the end. Thank you so much for sticking with me all the way through this. I really hope that you got something out of it. I hope you learned a little bit more about when you're putting notes together on the MIDI grid, how they all work together, and what is going to sound good when, please, if you. If you can re. Watch this class, try to take away those kind of key points that I made, like octaves always sound good, how to work with keys, how to build chords, things like that. I want to leave you with one little piece of advice that I always tell people when they're just starting to learn music theory, and that is that your ear is always correct. So when you write something and it sounds good to you, but then you go through all these rules that we talked about and you say, well, it doesn't really make sense. It doesn't. You know, you can't make a triad out of that or it doesn't fit in a key or whatever. Forget all that. Do what's in. If your ear thinks it sounds cool, if you like it and think it sounds cool, the rules of theory don't matter at all. The rules of theory are only here to help you to find those things that are gonna sound cool faster. That's the only thing. So that we can just start from scratch and say, okay, cool, I can put this note here and these other notes here, and it's gonna sound pretty good. That's what theory gets us. But don't ever change something that you've written that you really like to fit into the rules of theory. I hate it when I see people do that. It just makes me so sad, because your ear is better than the rules of theory. So keep that in mind. I hope we see you in the next class, the Music Theory Volume 2, where we're going to focus on minor keys and some other fun stuff. So thanks for sticking around. I will see you in the next class.
