Here is where you learn about different scales and modes...

Here is where you can learn about chords...popular Black music is based on Jazz chords...so all most of these are Jazz piano videos but start here

I'm going to throw out some books for intermediates I think are worth reading.

This is your brain on music, Daniel J Levitin.

Principles of Orchestration, Rimsky Korsakov.

Master Handbook of Acoustics,F. Alton Everest Ken C. Pohlmann.

Acoustic and MIDI Orchestration for the Contemporary Composer, Andrea Pejrolo.

Berklee also has free courses on YT.

Sonic Scoop and Pensados Place are great resources for aspiring engineers.

e.g.



Don't sleep on Rick Beato and Adam Neely.
