Accompanying the melody by means of chords makes the music of the Western world multifaceted and exciting. The film introduces the major and minor triads, as well as the diminished and augmented consonance. It shows in which ways they can be rearranged and how the newly arranged chords sound in each case.
Harmony theory includes rules for the major-minor tonal system. The film explains how conducting triads are created, for what reason they are called "steps", which of them are major triads and which are minor triads, and that the seventh is a diminished triad. Cadence and authentic cadence are explained.
The clarinet is a wind instrument, more precisely: one of the reed instruments. The film explains its construction and how it works. It shows how the different high notes are produced in the clarinet reed thanks to the reed, the air flow produced by the player and the operation of the keys for the holes with the hands.
In the recorder, which belongs to the category of labial pipes in the aerophone genre, the sound is produced by making the air column vibrate. The film explains the structure and function of the instrument and shows how tones of different pitch are produced on it. Other instruments also work in this way.
The subject of this film is the trumpet. It belongs to the genus of aerophones and to the category of brass instruments. It is played by causing the air column in the trumpet tube to vibrate. The film explains the structure of the instrument and the way in which the player sets the air in the tube in motion with his lips.
The space between two notes that are played at the same time or one after another is called an interval. This video presents the prefect and imperfect intervals and the major and minor intervals within an octave, with their names and characteristics. We also take a closer look at compound intervals.
The time signature of a piece of music is defined by two numbers written one above the other at the beginning of the stave. This film uses the 4/4, 3/4 and 6/8 time signatures to explain their differences and how they work. We also look a closer look at the stresses, the upbeats, and the conductor´s job.

You can determine the value of a note by looking at the stem, the body, and the flags. With these aids, whole notes, half notes, quarter notes, eighth notes and sixteenth notes can be represented. The film also explains the function of the bars, dottings and slurs as well as the rests and their signs.
The height of the notes can be displayed precisely with the help of the staff system, clefs and auxiliary lines. The film illustrates the difference between semitone and whole tone steps on the piano keyboard and explains in an understandable way how to represent semitones with the accidentals # and b.
The video explains the major and minor scales of the Western tonal system, each of which comprises seven notes. The film introduces the major scales on the one hand and the pure, harmonic and melodic minor scales on the other. It shows how they can be distinguished by the distance between the individual notes.
The lungs, the trachea, the larynx including the vocal folds and the vocal tract play an important role in the production of sound by the human voice. The film demonstrates how the tones are produced, what means the singer uses to reach the different pitches, and what he has to do to form vowels while singing.
Violin maker Daniel Kress introduces the violin, viola, cello and double bass. The video shows the differences between the various sized string instruments. It takes a look at their structures and explains how the tones are created: It happens because someone sets the strings vibrating above the sound box.
The subject of this film is the circle of fifths, an important tool in music theory. With its help, we can easily form scales and determine the relationship between keys. The video gives different mnemonics for the arrangement of the letters for the scales in the circle and explains the parallel scales.
Sounds are created by sound sources that are set into vibration. The film shows how the human brain picks them up and explains important terms such as amplitude and frequency with the unit hertz. The different frequencies of infrasound, audible sound and ultrasound are considered with their respective properties.
In addition to their root notes, every instrument also has a wide range of overtones. Their frequency is usually an integral multiple of the basic frequency. This film explains that phenomenon and shows that the overtone range of different instruments varies depending on their material and construction.
