First of all i wanna thank Don for making a musical part of animation tutorials.
Like my first day at musical school :)
I was thinking a lot of that every animator have to know basic musical theory.


But still as a musician i disagree with some points of this one:

I think the musical clefs are very important.

for example there is no any clef.

We really cant be sure that its "C" if we dont see "Treble Clef"

Modern musicians use only 3 basic clefs.
Treble Clef, Bass Clef and sometimes Alto Clef (for violas and trombones)

Here is Treble Clef. It has stylized "G" shape so it also called "G-clef"

G-clef means that the second line (forth from top) is for G-note.
So this one is "C"

But it also can be "E" (with F-Clef)

Or even "D" (with C-Clef)

Thanks for the heads up. I knew about the treble and bass clefs, and I'll be sure to put it in the next music video. I was glad to see you already have musical knowledge.

regards
