Beginner Music Theory: Your Quick-Start Guide is for all of you out there who want to learn more about music theory but don’t know where to start!
Did you know that every single person experiences music differently?
Some people picture scenes, some see colors, some feel strong emotions, some think mathematically, and many other perspectives. Music theory gives language, vocabulary, to patterns and structures in music, so we can connect those specific moments in music to our different experiences. It helps us see from other people’s perspectives and appreciate music the way they would.
Basically, music theory is a way for people to connect more deeply than even just listening to or creating music.
A single piece of music has an overwhelming number of moving parts: melody (notes coming one after the other, harmony, rhythm, meter, volume, form, phrasing, and much more. This mini-course breaks music down into smaller pieces for you to look at like music theorists do.
This means, not only will you come out having a better idea of what music is and does, you’ll also be able to connect more deeply with music as a listener, composer, or performer.
The course also includes a couple of short assignments (discussion posts), which means you’ll be part of a community who are learning with you.
Assignments in an online course are especially helpful, as you get to receive feedback and see how much you really are understanding about the topic. Being part of this course means you not only get feedback from the community but also personalized feedback from the instructor.
