This is a class designed for the average person who is ready to take their music career (or music interest) and turn it into a business. Whether you are an active musician, an aspiring musician, or an aspiring music manager or agent - this class is perfect for you. For years I've been teaching Music Theory in the college classroom. These classes I'm making for Udemy use the same syllabus I've used in my college classes for years, at a fraction of the cost. I believe anyone can learn Music Theory - and cost shouldn't be a barrier. My approach to music theory is to minimize memorization. Most of these concepts you can learn by just understanding why chords behave in certain ways. Once you understand those concepts, you can find any scale, key, or chord that exists. Even invent your own. If you've tried to learn music theory before, or if you are just starting out - this series of courses is the perfect fit. Dr. Allen is a professional musician, top-rated Udemy instructor, and university professor. In 2017 the Star Tribune featured him as a "Mover and a Shaker," and he is recognized by the Grammy Foundation for his music education classes. Throughout this class, If you get stuck, you can review the videos or post a question, and I'll back to it as fast as possible. This class is Part 7: Harmonization. In it we will look at how to find the chords for a melody, and how to experiment with other chord progressions. In this class, we will cover: Tools of Counterpoint How Inversion Names Work 7th Chord Inversion Names The Chordal 7th Root Position V7 - I Resolutions in SATB Voicing Inversions of V7 - I Resolutions in SATB Voicing Exceptions to Voice Leading Doubling Concerns in 7th Chords Figured Bass Figured Bass and Roman Numerals Studying with Bach "Realizing" Figured Bass The Pre-Dominant Phrasing Area Moving from Root Position IV to V Without Parallels Predominant 7th Chords Harmonization Steps Finding Cadences Finding the Right Chord Progression Finding the Right Inversions Practicing Harmonization Melodies for Practice Worksheets and Music for Practice ...and much, much more!

In this class, we learn how to work with the piano roll editor in a DAW to make harmonies, melodies, and whole tracks, and then we expand on those ideas and work with harmonic patterns (harmony) that is richer than just major and minor. Production Techniques Through Theory The most important part of this class is an extensive foray into using these techniques in actual tracks. I'll be creating 9 tracks through this class, right along with you, each using a different technique so you can see exactly how I incorporate it right into my music. Full Sessions After each production project, I'll give you the whole session of what I made using the techniques for you to play with. You can download it, expand on it, re-work it, and even release it as your work. If Your Music is Missing Something, This is Probably It. If you are finding that you are writing track after track, and while they sound good, there is something they are missing - then this it. You are missing the sense of harmony that professional producers have. In this class, I'll arm you with all the tools you need to produce those tracks just like you imagine them. Who should take this course? Anyone interested in producing their own music. This will get you up and running and give your tracks a unique sound in no time. Structure This course consists of video lectures, which all contain a session in Ableton Live 9. If you are using a different program (or none at all), no worries! This isn't a class on how to use Ableton Live, and the concepts can be applied to any DAW. Topics include: Using the Piano Roll Editor Octaves Finding C and Middle C The Perfect 5th What it means to be "in key" Moveable Patterns Major and Minor Intervals Building Triads Chord Progressions 7th Chords ... And much more!!! The course is a roadmap to finding the missing piece in your tracks, or just getting started making great tracks.

When tutoring music theory at the university-level, I would often see students who struggled in the classroom setting. Much of the time this is because everyone thinks and learns in a different way. What makes sense to some students, might have to be explained another way to others. I have designed this course to address this problem by explaining concepts through several different mediums and in various ways. This course is a standard, university-level music theory class. The material covered at universities in beginner music theory classes is the same material covered here, but here it does not cost nearly as much. Another benefit of this format is one can go through it at their own pace and are not rushed to complete everything throughout one semester. Once purchased, the student will have access to this class for life. So, students will be able to regularly review any concepts they might struggle with. This class is comprised of: Written lectures that operate as chapters for a simplified textbook Video lectures that cover the written material in depth Quick definitions guides for each lecture Exercises to test one’s understanding and answer guides to check each exercise Quizzes for each section Examples of topics covered in this course include: Reading pitch Reading rhythm Reading most other symbols in music notation Tempo Time signatures Tuplets Key signatures Keyboard pitch labeling Dynamic indicators Tone-color Solfège Scale degree numbers Intervals Quality Major and minor scales Modes and pentatonic scales Triads Seventh chords Figured bass Lead-sheet notation Chord progression construction And many more subjects pertaining to the aforementioned material This course is the first in a series that will cover the entirety of undergraduate level music theory classes. Students enrolled in this class will receive discounts on future courses of mine.
