Brief Introduction
Part 1Description
Welcome to Music Theory: Fundamentals- Part 1!
In this course, you'll learn about the foundational building blocks of Music Theory! I've broken down each section step by step so that anyone looking to get started in music can follow along.
I wanted to make an in-depth music theory course that's easy to follow (and at the fraction of the cost of a college course!) You'll see that in this course, I break down each topic into modern and relatable terms. I'll encourage you to find your own musical voice without zooming on to the next subject. I'm adamant about practicing and using real life examples so that connecting the dots and understanding the bigger picture becomes much easier!
Music Theory: Fundamentals- Part 1 is a great introduction:
for the student without any musical knowledge but interested and open to learning new concepts.
