Oh, an 'ultimate basics' music theory video, I'm intrigued! The idea that intervals are the fundamental building blocks of polyphonic music makes a lot of sense. Committing them orally and visually sounds like a challenge but crucial.

So they're breaking down intervals into melodic and harmonic right away. That visual of one note after another versus notes played together is a clear distinction. This foundation is definitely key to understanding anything more complex.
