Practical Music Theory
Get ready for a new take on learning music theory. Our new "Practical Music Theory & Reharmonization" class is for anyone who wants to "own" the most important music theory skills that are needed to create exciting arrangements, improvise and be creative at their instrument. This class is for all instruments and all levels. This means you can be a beginner or a pro. It also means you do not have to be a piano-player to gain valuable skills from this class. How are all levels going to work in one class you ask? For one, we will be starting easy for everyone since this is a new class format. This means everyone will be able to start out on the right foot and feel comfortable. Willie will also be giving you lesson suggestions from the site so you know where to turn if you need additional help. Why is the word "practical" in the title? That's because there are a lot of music theory items that are not really needed by all students. Sometimes theory classes, in their goal to be as complete as possible, end up overburdening students with information that is "good to know" but not "mission critical." Everything in this class is "must know" information that every single musician should strive to master.
