UdemyPart 4 of this certified theory series focuses on turning chord progressions from static harmony blocks into an expressive element of your track. You'll learn non-chord tones (passing, neighbor), suspensions, appoggiaturas, and sequences—chord movements by fifth, fourth, or third—that add movement and color to your writing.
Every concept is taught using real Ableton Live sessions (adaptable to any DAW) and grounded in production reality, not academic theory alone. The instructor answers every question within 24 hours, and you get worksheets and assignments so the concepts stick. If your tracks are missing something harmonically, this course usually finds it.
For producers ready to step beyond basic progressions and add the nuance that separates amateur from pro.
Welcome to the MUSIC THEORY FOR ELECTRONIC MUSIC Guide - Part 4!
This course is "5-Star Certified" by the International Association of Online Music Educators and Institutions (IAOMEI). This course has been independently reviewed by a panel of experts and has received a stellar 5-star rating.
In this class we are going to focus on turning chord progressions into an expressive element of the track, and not just "blocks" of harmony. We will add some new chords, look at passing tones and a few kinds of suspensions, and a kind of "out of the box" chord progression called a Sequence. This will make writing chords a whole lot easier!
If Your Music is Missing Something, This is Probably It.
If you are finding that you are writing track after track, and while they sound good, there is something they are missing - then this it. You are missing the sense of harmony that professional producers have. In this class, I'll arm you with all the tools you need to produce those tracks just like you imagine them.
Who should take this course?
Anyone interested in producing their own music. This will get you up and running and give your tracks a unique sound in no time.
