Music Theory Comprehensive, Part 1: The Symbols of Music

Welcome to the World of Music Theory. Don’t Worry – It’s Going to be Ok.

My approach to music theory is to minimize the 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.

This class is Part 1. In it we will focus on how to read music, and the symbols we use to notate music.

It begins what would be the first semester of a college music theory class (according to the typical American academic system for learning music theory).

Here is a list of some of the topics we will cover:

  • My approach to Music Theory
