I've been a musician for most of my life, playing guitar, and learning music theory in order to write for orchestra. I have a Specialist Certificate in Orchestration For Film and TV from Berklee College of Music (online). The YouTube lessons are mainly of a graphic nature with musical video examples I recorded using Finale notation software. The background music for the lessons, which is intended to be minimal, I also wrote.
The goal of the music theory lessons are to cover the essentials of theory. Some of it may seem a bit academic, but the material is still minimal for what the musician needs to know to progress into more complex music writing. There's a lot of material in the lessons, yet simple, and it applies to all western instruments. The lessons will teach you how to write your own songs, or longer form pieces if you so desire. Right now I'm up to Lesson 6 with more to come.
Here's the link to Lesson 1.
