What if I told you that understanding music theory can improve not only your playing, but also you chances of getting licensed?
Better music = better songs = better placements.
Because I think this
stuff is such a vital tool for every songwriter, I managed to convince my friend Dave Kusek (former VP of Berklee) to let you in on this music theory Master Class (usually reserved for his members only).
Dave developed a lot of modern music theory approaches during his time at Berklee Online. Now he’s completely transformed the way it’s taught by using hit songs of today to explain the practical side of music theory (This is something I talk about all the time - learning from other hit songs is the best way to make sure your music is up to licensing standards).
Here’s what you’ll learn in the Master Class (all based on 10 hit songs):
• Subdivision and Groove - rhythmically drop into any musical context and pull out a strong groove that holds the song together
• Scales and Tonality - immediately know the “right notes” to play before even playing a new song
•
Harmonic Function - be able to understand, play, and adapt chord progressions after only hearing them once
• Modes - find the best notes to play over any chord to make your melodies stronger and more memorable
• Voice Leading - create smooth chord progressions and arrange your parts so each instrument really stands out in the mix
There’s a reason why all the top songwriters know this stuff. Do you?
There’s going to be lots of discounts and bonuses, so be there live!
