I'm here wondering how you don't have like a million subs? Well edited, funny, and incredibly concise lessons. Thank you Mr. Mento.

You have a great way of teaching and making it easier to understand👍😊 thank you!

Please please please come back and post more. I've just binge watched all your videos and it's a crime that you don't have more views/subs. Your method of teaching is incredibly clear and engaging and I wish all music teachers taught this way. You're amazing ♥️

Not sure if you’ll see this, but wanted to encourage you to continue creating these videos! It’s one of the most helpful videos I’ve ever come across

The one measure rule cleared up some things that created so much annoyance you won't believe it lol.

Hi Mr Mento! I hope you upload more videos! It's so fun and easier to learn with you! ❤ Thank you!

At the end after the hellish landscape of music theory oblivion gate I actually misheard his name as "...as always I'm mister mental", and I thought he's gone crazy.

I wish you were my music teacher, You're so funny. I'm piano/keyboard lessons at schools, they're so fun!! It's so exciting to learn about music theory and how notes work as they do. I'm also learning the violin.

This is great! Really glad you didn't mention anything about key signatures in here. You'd be surprised how many music educators erroneously refer to key signature sharps/flats as "accidentals." "Accidentals" only refer to notes that are OUTSIDE of your given key signature ("one measure rule" sharps and flats). But the sharps/flats that are in the key signature are sharp/flat by default. For example, if you're in the key of G Major, F# is NOT considered an "accidental" because it is one of the default notes of the G Major scale. F natural, however, WOULD be considered an accidental, as you need to use a natural sign to lower F# back down to F.

Very helpful and well paced, I wouldn't have even of thought to think that stuff like the one measure rule existed.

These are great! Thank you so much The humour is good and can keep people like me with *very* low attention span hooked, and everything is explained in a simple, yet effective manor. Seriously thank you! It’s so helpful.

Oh my lord that was so simple. Mr Mento you must do more of these as I myself have found it a minor challenge just to be able to find someone who explains it in a way I can understand. Thankyou very much... subed.

Easy and fun 😂 👍🏼👍🏼 great work!!

Thank you for dummifying this for me! Would you also be able to do a video on the sharps and flats in the key signature please?

Bro i review this for 1 whole week but when i just watched this is made my whole life easier tysm for saving me!!

My son learn lot !! thanks , keep it up

thank u so much makes so much more sense then how my book was explaining it

I have never learned better than with these videos.

Mr. Mento thank you so much!! 😭🙏 I’ve been playing the clarinet for 1 year, and barely found out about accidentals because I was never taught 😰

These videos are incredibly helpful because i joined band class with little to no knowledge of music. Why you ask? Because i didn't wanna do PE, sue me. How i survived this long without actually knowing how to read music properly is a mystery to me and honestly a miracle. I thank you for this useful information and hope your pillow is always cold during summer and blanket always warm in winter.

Amazing Videos... Thank You

Thank you SO MUCH this is helping!!

Interesting, but a bit confusing, so I've decided to call them flats because is sooo easy and I'm happy with it and it does't bother me or harm me and my songs a bit☺👍. Playing by ear it fits me like a soft warm glove☺👍. Bless you and thank you.

We need more! You need to do a video explaining chords, major and minor. I'm an adult and just started piano and need all the help I can get!lol

You give us a creative and fun way to learn!

1. **Accidentals:** - *Definition:* Accidentals are symbols in music notation that alter the pitch of a note. - *Types:* - **Sharp (♯):** Raises the pitch of a note by a half step. - **Flat (♭):** Lowers the pitch of a note by a half step. - **Natural (♮):** Cancels the effect of a sharp or flat. 2. **Use of Accidentals:** - *Key Signature:* Accidentals appear in the key signature to establish the tonal framework of a piece. - *Within Measures:* Accidentals can be used within measures to temporarily alter the pitch of specific notes. 3. **Key Signatures:** - *Definition:* Key signatures indicate the key of a piece and specify which notes are to be consistently played as sharp or flat. - *Relationship with Accidentals:* Key signatures and accidentals work together to define the tonality of a composition. 4. **Enharmonics:** - *Definition:* Enharmonic equivalents are two notes that sound the same but are written differently (e.g., F♯ and G♭). - *Accidentals in Enharmonics:* Accidentals are essential in understanding and notating enharmonic relationships. 5. **Double Sharps and Double Flats:** - *Occurrence:* In some cases, a note may be raised or lowered by two half steps, requiring a double sharp (𝄪) or double flat (𝄫). - *Uncommon Usage:* Double accidentals are relatively rare but are used in specific musical contexts.

once again well done,well explained thanks !

you deserve more recognition❤

Knowledgeable ty❣️

Good video . Helps alot for the people that play music .

I looooooooooooooooooooooove this. You've just made learning fun

Thank you

Thanks a lot I learned a lot 😊

Chop chop KZfaq man. I need more of your content 🤌

sir I salute you for making this video :) I hope you will upload more

Please Mr Mento, keep doing this type of video, I would die if you stopped making videos

Loved the video

Thank you so much!!!

Thank you!

Bro my teacher sent us this and this is the greatest and funniest tutorial I've I've ever seen fr 💀🤣

You hit us with THAT ending and bounce for another year!?

You are so helpful

great explanation!

Thank you, this was really helpful! ❤

thanks for making my life easier

Hahaha awesome! really enjoyed it

Brilliant :)

I watched all of ur videos 🎉

finally learning music theory and already have a headache from the WHYY WHY IS IT LIKE THAT this is a good explanation video though!!

Really helpful!

I hope Ashley doesnt die, so please add more simple-to-learn vids 🙏🎵 Thanks!

*G Half-Sharp has joined the chat angry*

This is very helpful! Why don't you make more videos about these kinds of thing 😃 they would be helpful for beginners like me 😍 thank you!

Hope u stay here uploading frequently

Thank you❤❤❤❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

make more videos like this

People who was given this vid as music hwk just to realise, its tital is " Accidentals for Dummies"

So if the music is in the key of C and in a B is flattened in the right hand, would the B also be flattened in the left hand?

I liked the ending

Haha awesome how I felt I was losing my soul with the creepy comments but I was learning at the same time.

You forgot double sharps and double flats.

So.. if the key signature is written on the beginning of the staff, would you use the natural to indicate that that note isn't sharp or flat? If so, would the one measure rule apply to keeping that note natural for the rest of that measure?

Pleas teach me more music things, I don't know where to start or what else to look for

I remember something about if a line is going up you use sharps and if the line is going down you use flats. It that a thing? I very rarely write out my music in notation anymore but I have to for a project I'm doing.

meestor mentor can u do a vid on key signatures plz

If there is a sharp A, then a natural A, will the next A be sharp or natural? Basically, does a natural cancel a previous sharp or flat's one measure rule?

BECAUSE THAT"S THE WAY IT IS😂🤣

Hi Mr mento it's me

great

What if youre playing key lets say Ab. Youre asked to play Enat. and later in that same mesure it says to play Eb. Is it Eb thats “natural” to the key or is it like Ebb/Dnat.

Thx but what about the the bass clef (etc.) 😂

I have always wondered why it is called an "accidental" when it is actually a "deliberate!"

Byt how do we play them on the piano though?

@thementozone Why did you write flats with a B?

Hey man can u keep uploading (u don’t have to)

hi mr mento

❤

Hello sir ,you said ,ill see you at next time ,but you stop uploading 🥲😭Please can you continue this staff notation lesson?🥲Its very preious for someone like us(Self taught)

fun fact : there is no Fb , Cb . bc how would you see notes like where is C?

mr mento where are you:(

The dummie on the title is harsh bro

When are you dropping this year? You dropped once a year for the past 3 years.

Is anyone here from 2024

And to the creator of accidentals I say YOU were an accident

I am angry >:( where are the microtonal accidentals?!??!?!? (joke)

❤
