This course has been independently reviewed by a panel of experts and has received a stellar 5-star rating. 100% Answer Rate! Every single question posted to this class is answered within 24 hours by the instructor. Welcome to the COMPLETE Music Theory Guide! This is a class designed for the average person who is ready to take music theory (or music interest) and turn it into a usable skill. Whether you are an active musician or an aspiring musician, 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. This class is a Comprehensive class - it will have many parts, going through my entire annual curriculum. This Edition of the class is the "Complete" Edition: It contains levels 1, 2, & 3 in their entirety. Included in this course: 151 Video lectures, following my college Music Theory Curriculum. 28 Downloadable worksheets for practice (with answers!) Access through discounts to my entire network for music classes Membership to the class theory-learner community Because this is three classes combined into one, going through every topic we cover in this class would make for a very, very long list. Here is just a hint of all the topics we cover: My approach to Music Theory Tools you will need to learn Music Theory quickly and efficiently Music software: Notation programs The elements of the Score Pitch Names Pitch Classes Octaves The White Keys The Black Keys (not the band!)
