The Course:
✨Welcome to the Musical Warp Drive✨
Part 1: Fundamentals, Mind & Ear
This course will lead you through the abyss of music theory into a new world of understanding, creativity, and confidence.
I think you’ll like what you find…
How it Works:
Part 1 was designed to help reveal and strengthen your innate musical abilities.
The goal is freedom and fluency in the process of writing music, allowing you to express your authentic sound without contrivance.
The method is a series of lessons and exercises which target the most crucial areas of musical development and nothing else.
There will be no sight-reading, no exams, no quick-fixes, and no diploma to hang on your wall. There will be deep listening, compositional challenges, personal reflection, and many hours of effective practice.
Is this a music theory course?
Definitely! However, it is theory in service of composition.
What type of composition?
The type most natural to you, whatever that may be. Musical Warp Drive deals with universal music principles rather than genre-specific details. These insights and ideas apply as much to dubstep as they do to the country.

Music Teacher
Musically, my path has been one of self-study, allowing for an open exploration of the topics that capture my curiosity. I play a variety of instruments and spend much of my time composing. I have also been working as a music teacher for over 17 years, for which I’m very grateful. The musicians that have influenced me most, and whom I consider my primary teachers, are WA Mathieu, Ted Greene, Pat Metheny, and JS Bach.
Humanity and our collective future have always been of great importance to me. Our potential to live in harmony with ourselves and nature, to be a blessing rather than a burden to our planet, is immense. A significant amount of my life has been spent in research (scientific, philosophical, historical, etc), discovering and encouraging the ideas and people revealing the way forward to a prosperous and generous world for all beings.
To all of you pursuing your love of music (or whatever else it may be), I applaud and thank you. Share your gifts with the world and let your authentic expression shine! Together, we can infuse our society with beauty and love, respect, and compassion.
Requirements :
• The desire to compose your own music, regardless of genre or style.
• The means to actually practice and write your music. This could be a physical instrument or music software on a computer.
• Access to a keyboard (MIDI or physical) is recommended but not required.
• No prior theory knowledge is needed.
