Music Theory 101
The Language of Music
Music Theory often gets a bad reputation as being hard to understand and even harder to apply. While this course has a solid foundation in the traditional academic concepts, Music Theory 101 focuses on developing a vocabulary for the emotions we feel through music, using current musical examples. We will work on understanding how rhythm, keys and chords fit together to create the “shape” and “vibe” of songs in all genres of music. This course is applicable for singers, songwriters, instrumental musicians and those heading to higher education in music. “I learned more in the first two classes than I did in an entire semester of Music Theory class at my university!”
Next Session: TBD. Available online.
Fees: $147 for members, $210 for non-members
Guitar for Singers and Songwriters
This seven week course is designed to help singers and songwriters who are new to playing the guitar write songs or accompany their vocals in any style or key as quickly as possible. Using a carefully simplified system, we will be playing full songs in the very first class. This course will also provide a solid basis in music theory and guitar technique that will allow participants to take their music in any direction they choose in the future.
Next session TBD
