Music theory crash course for singer-songwriters
I’m offering an introductory music theory course for singer-songwriters in ten, one-hour sessions. I’ve taught classes and lessons in theory for songwriters and musicians over the past 20 years, and want to help you advance your writing and listening skills.
What we will do

Nashville Numbers and reading lead sheets, so you can better communicate your ideas with other musicians and improve your study skills
-
The language of music theory including relationships between scientific measurements (Hz, etc) and musical notation (A-flat, etc), giving you confidence to express your desires to recording engineers.
-
How chord progressions and cadences work, so you can vary your musical ideas in your songs and create your unique voice
-
Basic Music Technology concepts, demystifying recording technology and jargon so you can make sure you get the best available product from your recording and mastering engineers
