This source will teach you the basics of music theory. There are 13 high-quality videos with animations, voice-over, and sounds. In addition to notes and music symbols on the staff, I will use the piano keyboard to show the concepts. However, the source is relevant for any musical instrument. After this Music Theory Level 1 course, you will be ready for the Music Theory Level 2 course, which will be available soon.

This video is not an ‘instrumental lesson’ it is not about technique? It is a way to think about melody and harmony that gives you the method and the tools, whatever instrument you play, or even if you don’t play at all? To confidently be able to create your own music? Maybe you have an interest in music and you want to understand more? Maybe you’re a D.J who wants to get a grip on creating and using chords and harmony? This video is for you!

Welcome to Music Theory Fundamentals for Songwriting! This course aims to teach students of all ages how to compose and write their own songs using patterns and intentionality. The knowledge students will gain in this class will help them follow or purposefully break the rules of music writing so they can turn their musical dreams into reality. The professor, Manni Simon is a graduate of Northeastern University, where he learned all about music theory, as well as music recording and the music/entertainment business. He now operates as a self-business in sound design and audio mixing, and still loves to produce new music of his own. Having access to some kind of piano or keyboard is highly recommended for taking this course. Online keyboards may be available as a no cost option (link to one below), and any size keyboard will do. Please use your keyboard for all lectures and their quizzes (it's not cheating, it's practice!) Again, students of any age are welcome to take this course. Whether you're in grade school, a college student, or a senior citizen, and whether you have some music experience or none at all, you can take this class to improve your music playing/making ability, or just to pick up a new hobby in songwriting. I hope you enjoy this course and are excited to start making some sweet, sweet music!

Music Theory Classroom is a four-course, one- to two-year music theory curriculum designed for high-school and homeschool students. It covers the material studied by music majors in the first one to two years of college, but it is structured so that a diligent student can complete it in three 14-week terms. The four courses in the curriculum include: two Fundamentals courses which are intended to be taken concurrently, followed by Diatonic Harmony and then Chromatic Harmony . Each course has 28 lessons, so the recommended pace is approximately two lessons per week (when taking the Fundamentals courses, this means two lessons from each of the two courses). Students should feel free to move more slowly if the material is completely new. This is Part 2 of the Fundamentals of Melody and Harmony course. It assumes that you can already read music in treble and bass clefs, as described above. Students who have not yet mastered key signatures and scales should start with Part 1 . On the other hand, students who have already mastered intervals and chords may want to go straight to Part 3 . Note: Some lesson numbers appear out of order. Even though they're distributed across the three parts of the course, the lessons are numbered in the suggested order. Fundamentals of Melody and Harmony contains 28 lessons in three parts. All three parts interlock. Part 1 (lessons 1-4, 8-9, 11-14) includes the basics of reading pitches on the staff in treble and bass clefs, including key signatures and major and minor scales. Part 2 (lessons 5, 15-18, 20-21, 23-24, 26-27) covers the rest of the theory fundamentals needed to prepare students for Diatonic Harmony : intervals, triads and seventh chords. Part 3 (lessons 6-7, 10, 19, 22, 25, 28) includes topics that are part of a complete fundamentals course, but may not have been learned by students who already know the material in Parts 1 and 2 . These include octave-transposing clefs, C clefs, modes and some other scales, and extended tertian chords. For a more complete description of the curriculum, check the MusicTheoryClassroom dot com website.

This course covers the fundamentals and will give you all the necessary tools to read a music score, starting from a possible "level zero". Ideally you should also get some instrumental or vocal tuition in order to better put all of this in practice and enjoy your music making to the full. A few of the more technical topics have been intentionally left out in order to keep it fairly simple and avoid overcomplicating it.

The course is designed to help those who want to learn the basics of Music Theory, as well as to those who prepare for ABRSM, Trinity, or similar board Music Theory Grade 1 Exam. The lectures include examples of how the knowledge can be used, and they are followed by quizzes to check student's understanding.

A complete understanding about Raag Yaman can be extracted from the course. We have tried to elaborately explain a range of details starting from the basic to intricacies and complexities of raag Yaman. Lecture videos start from introduction of notes used in the raag and the importance of first fifth note combinations in the raag to phrase development within the raag and improvisation techniques. We have also provided three compositions each set to different taals (beat cycles) along with its notation. The videos explain improvisation techniques within a composition along with making of fast tempo taan sargams. Any student after watching the complete course will be able to learn all nuances of raag Yaman and develop the skills to improvise and creatively sing the Raag with proper practice as demonstrated in the video. Towards the end we have demonstrated how this raag has been widely used in commercial/bollywood music with examples and how to identify the raag in any song.

This 32-video course will teach you powerful tools for performing complex rhythms and polyrhythmic cycles, especially those found in Western contemporary classical music, Indian classical music, and jazz. Concepts from the Karnatic rhythm theory of South India are generalized to illustrate rhythmic techniques that can be applied to any style of music and any instrument. Rhythms are learned using vocal syllables called Solkattu. Learn a college semester's worth of material from home. By the end of the course you will be able to perform complex phrases in odd divisions, polyrhythmic cycles up to 9:8, phrases in polyrhythmic frames, and more. You will acquire an exciting collection of raw material for composition and improvisation, as well as new techniques for interpreting scores with rhythmic complexities.

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.
