Hi! (Patreon)

Hey, folks! The next song poll is going up tomorrow, but before it does, I wanted to take a second to express my gratitude for the overwhelming support y'all have shown me in response to the announcement I made at the end of the Free Fallin' video. I was really nervous about it, and I never feel entirely comfortable asking people to pay me for a thing I make for free, but the response over the last week has exceeded even my wildest expectations. Seeing how many of you apparently think this silly little music theory show I make is worthy of your support has been extremely inspiring, and I hope that I'm able to continue making things that deserve it.

As an update on the sponsors thing, this has definitely affirmed for me that I made the right decision, and I'm hoping to stick with it for as long as possible. Even if that doesn't mean forever, it at least means the rest of 2022, and hopefully further. There may be some exceptions, but having the option to just not do them if I don't want to means I'll only wind up doing them if it's something I genuinely want to share. (Like, I've been talking with the folks at Nebula about possibly making a class for them, and if I did that I'd probably do a couple spots about it, which is technically a sponsorship even though it's really just promoting my own work.)

Anyway, I don't really know how to end this, but I do want to say thank you again to all my new patrons, and also to all my old patrons who've been here forever! 12tone really wouldn't be possible without your support, and it means the world to me that you're willing to help me make this.

😯 this "silly little music theory show" has taught me a mountain of practical skills that have improved my critical listening, songwriting, arrangement, and performance. You have no idea how much I appreciate you, your perspective, and your delightful style.

Frank MalDonato

I've thoroughly enjoyed each video you've put out, even when I didn't have the slightest clue what any of it meant, and that alone is worth helping you keep on rockin' for all the rest of us 😃

I started teaching myself music theory just over a year ago (and started learning piano at the same time). You have been one of my most valuable teachers, alongside people like Doug Helvering and Adam Neely. The most valuable thing you have demonstrated over and over again is that music theory is descriptive and subjective. I tend to get stuck wanting immutable "right" answers, and embracing the ambiguity of music theory has been revelatory. Thank you so much for all you have done for me, and for all you have yet to do.

A big piece of it was the fact that the request was as sincere and genuine as everything else you do. It resonated.

Chris St

Congratulations, and I'm *completely* not surprised, your stuff is awesome!

Douglas Goldstein

I've never appreciated these songs as much as when I learned why. Keep at it!

Mikaela

I rarely support people at patreon, but supporting you was a no-brainer. For one, your stuff is great, interesting and inspiring. Second, your request was so sincere and I can appreciate how much effort and love you put into your videos.

Hey Man, love your work. Seek and ye shall find. Ask, and ye shall receive!

I never really liked Tom Petty and always thought his music was bland, but listened to Free Fallin' after watching your video and just dug it from start to finish.
