For years I've been teaching Music Theory in the college classroom. These classes I'm making for Skillshare use the same syllabus I've used in my college classes for years, at a fraction of the cost. I believe anyone can learn Music Theory - and cost shouldn't be a barrier.

Recently I was named as a semi-finalist for the Grammy Foundation's Music Educator of the Year award because of my in-person university classes. Now I'm taking those classes to Skillshare in an online format in order to reach more students and give them the joy of Music Theory.

My approach to music theory is to minimize 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.

This class is a Comprehensive class - it will have many parts, going through my entire annual curriculum.

This class is Part 4: Modes (Musical Modes, AKA The Church Modes) and Counterpoint.

Throughout this class, I'll be providing you with many worksheets for you to practice the concepts on. If you get stuck, you can review the videos or post a question, and I'll back to it as fast as possible. Also in this class, I have several complete analysis projects that we will complete together - just like in my college classes.

In this class, we will cover:
My approach to Music Theory
Tools you will need to learn Music Theory quickly and efficiently
How Modes Work
The History of Modes
Identifying the Musical Modes
Incorporating modes into popular music
Analysis of popular and classical music, including the Simpsons TV Theme Song, and the Beetles.
Interval Exploration
Compound Intervals
Rules for Inversion
Augmented Intervals
Diminished Intervals
Enharmonic Equivalence
Labeling Dissonance
Counterpoint in Species
The Rules of Counterpoint
Compositing with Counterpoint
Types of Contrapuntal Motion
Creating music with Counterpoint
…and much, much more!
