Passing tones, appoggiaturas, pedal tones and suspensions are just a few of the non chord tones we discussed in Ep. 28. Now we will take a little more time training our ears to recognize them.

I think this is the podcast I have been looking for! I am a sophomore in high school and I am so passionate about music and I have lately been very interested in learning more about classical music and music theory. (I have largely been inspired by TwoSet Violin... any Ling Ling wannabees out there?!) Super excited to start listening 🎵❤️
what's that outro song?

Wow guys. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. What you guys do has been a great service in helping me understand these topics. I'm 25 and started my pursuit of music about ten years ago. I took music theory classes in high school, but otherwise I have been a self-taught multi-instrumentalist. Over the last month i have binge listened to your podcast and learned so much from you guys. You make these topics much more approachable and easier to digest. Keep up the good work and, again, thank you so much!
LOL love this
