Description: When learning music theory, most people start with scales, modes, and chords, and then sort of… stop. This causes you to miss the most exciting parts of Theory: Form. In this course, we’ll explore not only all the important scales and chords, but also Functional Harmony, which is a system that classifies chords into their unique “functions.”
This will allow you to create chord progressions that evoke specific emotions, creating a narrative in which you are the writer, and you can take the narrative in any direction depending on the mood you want to create: in any type of music you produce!
