Music Theory

The main course will introduce students to the theory of music, providing them with the skills needed to read and write Western music notation, as well as to understand, analyse, and listen informedly. It will cover material such as pitches and scales, intervals, clefs, rhythm, form, meter, phrases and cadences, and basic harmony.

This course covers the fundamentals of Western music theory, from the absolute basics to some more advanced concepts and, as such, is the perfect course for beginners and more experienced musicians alike.

He is the author of Music Theory For Dummies, and a Los Angeles based sound designer for Mooder's. He's the creator of jingles for brands such as CNN, Microsoft, L'Oréal, NRGIE Group, PricewaterhouseCoopers and Nikon (which are known for their musical cryptograms).
