Very good. Perhaps not only for composers or arrangers - would be helpful to very many people just to understand playing.
This is short enough to be motivational for some people and avoids music notation - apart from RNA type symbols - which are not dwelt upon - so could work even for people with just basic keyboard knowledge.
There are still a significant number of people who come in to music from other directions - such as guitar playing - so maybe a different way of introducing chord progressions would work for those people - but it's already really good. Thanks.

Great video! Another thing that I've been experimenting more with my own compositions is how long you play each chord. I think all the examples you provided work really well when we have an equal time spent on each chord. I sometimes like to change that up... so, using this progression, if I was in 4/4, and played two full bars (8 counts) of C, half of bar 3 (2 counts) with A minor, the other half (2 counts) with F, and then a bar (4 counts) of G before cycling back to C, it really changes the whole feel without changing anything in the harmonic identify of the progression.

You're a great teacher. Is there any rule to be followed ,while u move from one chord to another. For eg, if you r moving from c major to A m .what notes can u add to your melody ,so that u arrive at the destination of Am..n what shall be the destination note of your melody ,(on which note the melody should stand ) to give a real presence of Am chord. Kindly help n answer

Mr. Green, do you suppose that compositions like Pachelbel's -Canon in D- or Bach's -Prelude in C- (upon which Gounod crafted his -Ave Maria-) were developed from chord progression patterns or the other way around?

These videos are great, clear and concise. I've watched many now, so do keep uploading! Just wondering how you have set up the keyboard to highlight the notes as you're playing them at the bottom of the screen?

For today's music , EDM, Dance, pop, or music parties. Do they have a separate music theory. Or our traditional theory applies?

Great video - thank you so much - Do you have the scores available for the examples (even though they may be improvised)?
