What You Will Learn?

  • What is this class?.
  • This class is the second course in the Music Theory Fundamentals series. It continues from where we left off in part 1 and builds on those skills, and introduces new concepts. .
  • It will cover the following materials.
  • You will want to get MUSESCORE (which is a free notation software) which is the program I will be using when teaching. I will make all the lesson examples available for you to review and to serve as reference for concepts.Why should you care about music theory?.
  • I get that we don't all want to be "composers" but having a basic understanding of music theory will help you understand what you are hearing. If you write music, or produce it, having this knowledge about how to create certain impressions, or emotions, in a clear way can help raise your work to the next level.Why do I think theory matters?.
  • Throughout my studies I was always fascinated with music theory and its application. Since completing my post-graduate certificate in music I have been active as a performer, teacher, and arranging and composing. I use theory in all aspects of my work and teach it to all my students. .
