Once again, you knocked it out of the park. This is exactly what I've been needing. Thank you, Aimee. 👏

One year later and still extremely helpful. 👏 Thank you again! 😘 I like how you encourage listeners to work on “listenings skills” even when away from the instrument.

Im in my car with my muted trumpet and computer learning your studies..im finally hearing the half diminished!!...thank you so much all the way from Nassau Bahamas!

1 of the better comprehensive explanations on the topic, that I've heard. Thank u Aimee.

Aimee, your videos are so engaging! Thank you for producing your ideas and music in such a friendly way!

Hi!! I stumbled upon your channel by chance. You are such an amazing teacher and you are so full of new ideas. I can't afford a teacher, so I have always relied on the internet to learn everything that I know as of now. You and Rick Beato are among the most amazing teachers in the world. Thank you for all the great service that you've been doing to us learners.

Awesome! Your Channel is so inspiring and has helped me in a big way in the last couple of months. Thank You!!!

Love your top 25. I'm remembering the Abersold vinyls starting with the ii V I progression and then the playalongs covering so many artists. Good stuff. Amazing how much material is accessible. I spent today on Wes Montgomery and his organist Mel Rhyne. As a bassist, I learned a lot from playing with and observing Mel's deep grooves.

Wow...that sounds so rich and lovely to my ears (thank you) what a blessing !

It's been about three weeks since I discovered your channel. It's fabulous!!! Earlier this morning I was reviewing notes I took in April 2001 at a series of Barry Harris group piano lessons in NYC near Lincoln Center. You and Barry are both bebop apostles and teachers, but you have the advantage of being very computer literate, which makes your generosity immensely more effective and efficient. Thanks so much!!!

I stumbled upon your channel last week and I'm already a fan. Keep those ET exercises coming!

You are an amazing teacher and pianist / singer , I am a self taught pianist, I have learnt so much from watching your videos. Thank you.

This video just popped up on my youtube feed yesterday. I've been working on soloing over minor 2 5 1's on the vibes and I always leave the practice room scratching my head because I don't like some of the notes I hear...particularly over the 5 chord. Plus I struggle with all my choices (melodic minor, harmonic minor, half whole, ugh!). I do like this exercise because it focuses hearing these notes. I'm playing 3rd's and 7th's with my left hand mallets and the melody line that you demonstrated in my right. Only through 6 keys so far. Thanks for the exercise

That's rich, and gives me something to chew on for many layers. I love it. And - I am so glad, Aimee, you arrived safely at your destination in the car, whilst driving-singing-teaching, hahaha. Your teaching style is big inspiration for me. Thanks a plenty from an admirer of your work in London/UK.............

Aimee, thanks so much for the ear training videos. it's really kind of you to go the extra mile.

Beautifull as always, thats an awesome 2 5 1 excersise. Very inciteful, Thank yoy and have a wonderful day.

You are awesome Aimee! Humming altered dominant extensions while driving on the highway no less!! WOW!!! My she-ro!!!!

This is freaking stunning.

Amazing lessons and teacher by the way this chords sound so Bill and Theloniuos ....what a beautiful jazz years

This absolutely blew my mind.

Love your explanations! And I love tritones!

You're great, I'm learning a lot thank you! X

Great job ..just loved your lessons

I wish I had unlimited time and you were my teacher. I'm still working on your 3-7 exercise, far, *far* simpler than this, and it's paying off. I see this kind of thing and think, man, I hope I get there some day.

So simple and so nice !!

You can really see in these videos how much you love music. I hope I can become as inspired as you are.

So much knowledge. I have become your student. Thank you for been such a wonderful artist and professor.

Merci, this was above my pay grade. I'll come back when I have my chops.

Going along with your videos for the past week has really broken my musical cycle lately. Once I get to sit at the piano tomorrow I want to try doing this by myself because I can sing along with what you are doing and it's super inspiring! Thank you for putting out such amazing video content. Between you and Rick Beato it's really getting me out of this harmonic minor box that my musical mind has been stuck in for a year (or more).

Excellent tutorial ! Thank you Aimee Nolte Music.

Always spot on. I don't know how you do it. Thanks again.

I stopped the video midway. Started singing on C. Upon reaching A, I experienced some difficulty because it was getting low. This is perhaps one of the most useful exercises I've ever done. Doing it on the keyboard will be a challenge. But I think I can do it. Thanks for your generosity

she is awesome! thanks for sharing!

Really like the triad sound on the v chord and that 2nd. Practiced this over Blue Bossa. Thanks!

Amazing!

congratulations!really nice sounds and harmonies!

Great performance, Greetings from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰

really cool exercise, thanks! definitely going to try this @ home. also, cool to see how the altered extension triad is almost like a little tritone sub.

...inspired to tackle melodic minor harmony again!!

you are fantastic thanks for your vids

Firstly I would like to say that since finding your channel my musical ear and understanding of harmony has really developed, you have inspired me to learn to sing! Secondly: I realized this when practicing the dominant chord used in this exercise (7b5b9) - that this chord is special as it is made up from the 2 dominants that are a tri-tone apart, the only note omitted is the natural 5 which would render the chord a 7b9#11, a truley bi tonal chord as the a 'dominant 7, flat 9, sharp 11' is exactly that but in both keys a tri-tone apart!!

Wonderful lesson. Thank you, Aimee.

very cool exercise, Aimee... I dig your teaching...

You're My Favorite ! Great Videos ! :- )

great teacher

You're such a great teacher

I am a rock guitarist struggling with Jazz. This is so valuable. Subscribed.

The Best!

Its very useful ☺️thankk u soo much

I just discovered your channel. Mind blown! I know nothing.

can I hear it? yes yes, for sure :) and it is very nice and it makes great sense :)

great exercise!

Bravo!!! That's a good ear!!! And, a bravo for not looking at the camera -- I know you were tempted. :)

Another great lesson thank you. I was wondering which minor second chord to play when a tune is based on the melodic minor scale.

I looooove this lesson!!

Cool!!!!!!!!!!

oh my i love you

Just starting to play the piano. So this is making my brain hurt. But I embrace the art of challenges. Thank you Aimee for these nuggets.

Aimee, I have found your KZfaq and Rick Beato's KZfaq channel to be the best/most interesting to me in my mid-life crisis as I try to figure out what I will do next with my life. I used to be very involved in music in my mis-spent youth, but went into medicine instead (good news for everyone, because I was not that talented). It could be music again. Anyway, your recent video on All the Things You Are (my favorite tune from the Great American Songbook) reminded me of various other tunes that use the descending Dorian scale licks, including "Happy Heart" from the 1960's (Andy Williams, and Petula Clark, in separate recordings), and "Tijuana Taxi" by Herb Alpert, among many others. Keep up the good work and I will find a way to support you on Patreon or whatever. Remind us how to do that.

Hi cc great staff i love your tutoring can u perhaps make a video for In My Time by Teddy Pendergrass please

wow great channel. you are awesome

My friends will be soo annoyed!! But imma do this all day long

I think this is pretty hard to sing, however, I keep telling myself it is just a major triad but it is still difficult but a great exercise. Also, I do a similar exercise with the resolution to a major chord. ie Dmi7b5 G7b9 Cmaj7 raised 3rd voicing low to hi DAbCF move C to B then to CGBE then move C to C# gives new minor7b5 and repeat giving new resolution 1/2 step down. Thanks for the great lessons.

Hi Aimee, I have noticed that the first five notes of your excellent exercise are the same as the first five notes of 'Fly Me To The Moon' - though of course, in a different harmonic context. Knowledge of this may help to locate the difficult 5th note. Thank you for your excellent lessons.

buenisimo. Saludos desde Venezuela Very good Greetings from Venezuela

Can anyone help me understand the right hand notes over the Emin 2-5-1? I can't figure out what I should be playing in the right hand. So I play Gb Half Dim, to Bb Dom, to Emin7 in the left. And I'm playing C B A G Gb or C B A Ab Gb, and then a Gb major triad? It doesn't sounds quite right.

...this was a hard one

I should try to use it with "If I should lose you". Probably you'd find it interesting to show us your arrangement. Thank you, Aimee.

i love you

Sounds like bossa nova with those melodies

Does this progression come from the bebop scale? I came across that thought because I thought: "Well, those chords really feet into the Eb bebop scale" 🤔

you might consider getting a patreon page for support.

can you do a video on your theory of chord voicing or something to that effect?

Aimee, I really like the sound of this exercise, and I really need better ear training, but the highest note I can sing is just D above middle C, and down to the second F below middle C, so only one and a half octaves and very low, any advise for someone that still wants to hear and play (sing and point) in the more normal range above middle C ?

y love you

😮 wow

Do you have this in worksheet form (even just in 1 key), so that we can memorize it?

Wwwooowww.🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

I love how you're using some of the same language that i heard while I was taking Classical lessons in Louisville. That's where I switched from Classical to jazz - in Louisville....polished my skills in North Central Ohio. Your explanations are such a welcome, warm sound to my ear. I'm from the Louisville area, so I'm getting alot of the Jaime Aebersold teachings..... In my playing (on keyboard) I like to stick in, what I was told were called, "Tritone Pairs" on altered 7th chords. For example, A flat & G flat chords on top of a C7 altered chord (built on the tritone triad and then "plus one" up to the flatted 5fth. I do a bit of this on this song.... soundcloud.com/damian-dane/you-brought-a-new-kind-of-love-to-me

Way over my head, I have such a long road ahead.

Your videos really gave me an appreciation for jazz? music. Do you have any artist that would help me get this type of hearing in my head? Most of the music i am familiar with is in the form a typical "tonal based music".

Aimee, Yes I am learning.... but... I don't think you know about the 2, 4 ... do you ? ...the 24, ... as in there's only 24 hours in a day ! Now I think I know where the hell you are always driving to. ..... it's to the next time zone isn't it ? You do know you lose the hour anyhow when you drive back to your family, don't you ? Well I'm hook on your fantastic way you clarifying so much while waking my ears. ... so....I'll try to keep up. I'm addicted. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Hi! Interesting! I'll try... In classical music, I think the second chord is called "sixte napolitaine" (in french... I don't know the name in english) because it's often written in second position (6te) and maybe because it had success in Napoli in the baroque era. The chord would be in a way a II moll major (for the first example in C minor, the root would be D moll). There is an example quite in the end of a youtube's video called : " Ex. 165 partition, Guide de la théorie de la musique, Abromont, sixte napolitaine ". It's written N, and can take the place of a II, or be added to. I don't know other uses of it. ..........??????????.......... I like your videos. Subscribed.

Gosh!

Why couldn't I have had you when I started piano instead of the old Sea Hag with her wooden ruler.

Cm7 v Cm(maj)7 v Cm6/9 Which of the 3 is more commonly used in jazz? The Cm7 doesn’t sound “resolving” - it sounds like it wants to move to F7.

Hi Aimee, First of all thank you for all the material you share here !!! A simple question, why do you hit Bb on your C minor chord ? You are out of the minor melodic scale which I thought was the minor reference, sounds strange to me to put a Bb in a 251 minor context ? Am I a fool ? Thanks again for all !

Is it that the piano is slightly out or do tri-tones just seem to buzz and bite at your ears?

i love your stuff, Aimee, so just to clarify this is a serious and respectful question. it seems to me, and i am not sure there is a way around it, that some jazz pianists, even professional ones, that are great at memorizing this kind of thing that they then use in improvisation, but without individualist creativity or feeling, and then they end up sounding like rote jazz pianists as opposed to creative improvisors....interested in how you feel. maybe the simple answer is that creativity is a rare thing, and as the ornette song goes, beauty even rarer. with recordings we get so used to the greatest of the great, that its an unfair comparison. But. there are times I hear low level amateurs, who, to the limit of their technical skill, play with feeling and swing, and then there are technicians , with all the what i conceptualize as math skill, and you get this in classical plenty, who just play and it all almost the same...Thank you

Is the hashtag (#) #aimeesminor251 ?

At around 1’ you say the melody starts on the flat 5 of the C minor chord. Isn’t that an A flat, or the flat 6?

btw left hand not clear in this video thanks

She looks like neeti mohan singer from india

i wish that piano could have gone through tunning before you shoot video

Over my head. I don't understand

You play well but you dont explain what you play. Why? I like other people's videos that show where your fingers are.

No, it doesn't make sense. Simplify.
