Music Theory Course.
This series of lessons, while not over technical, is just what is needed to have a relation between composition, reader and the sound produced. The lessons also emphasize reading though one in addition has really good “how to’s” for writing and composing and other facets of bringing sheet music to life. The course recommends, once the lessons are finished, to keep at the reading of compositions and various notation as this is a realm in itself of the musical arts. Great!
Thumbs Up
Excellent introduction into reading and writing music. Thank you David!
Very Thorough
I really enjoyed this course. Each video was short and to the point, with lots of great information. I definitely know how to read music a lot better now. I just knew the basics about reading the grand staff, but chords were my weakness. The formulas for major, minor, augmented, diminished chords, and much much more were very helpful and easy to understand. I also learned how to write music better as well. Also reading the page is easier now too.
Good job!
Very good and quality teaching!
Congratulations!
Good school
I mainly use FL Studio 12 to practice my music skills, but there is a feature where you can convert your piano roll stuff to a music score. But this lesson is good for writing music scores. Thanks.
