Music Theory Minute #2.3 - Dominant Form Melody

These videos and their sequencing are an AMAZING educational tool. Please keep them up! Your pedagogy and explanation method allows for people to absorb the info and experiment almost immediately. It’s great!

DK Island Swing was actually written by David Wise. You have Koji Kondo listed on the sheet music.

I actually really like these as they are. For me, they're like quickly looking up the definition of a word I'd just seen somewhere. It's like: "ohhh, _that's_ what dominant form is!" -- and for me, that's sufficient to spark interest in further study. While I'm all about deep dives and doing one's homework, every time you release one of these, it sparks interest in doing a little bit more learning for the day. That's sufficient for me. (And I love the cliffhangers!) While I've got your attention, I've got an oddly-specific request: let's talk about the stanky, gnarly, jazzy funk found in space shooters in the late 80s and early 90s, especially as developed by AM2 or as found in various titles on PC-Engine/TurboGrafx-16. Dat 7/8, tho! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnCEMAnkXrw" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnCEMAnkXrw</a>
