Description
This isn’t your typical “music theory” course. And, this isn’t a technically-dense “mixing and mastering” course. This is the course that I wish existed for me when I started making music. It is an overview of the most overlooked and important aspect of making great music: “Song Composition.” In this course, I make “song composition” (how to arrange sound) as simple as possible–so that you don’t need music theory or engineering knowledge in order to bring your ideas to life.I will break this complex subject down into 10 simple steps–so that you can follow along and create amazing music from scratch. This course is perfect for singers and musicians who are tired of interpreting other people’s music and want to create their own songs from scratch.You don’t need any music theory knowledge to learn from this course. Everything we do in music is just a matter of telling stories and relaying a state of consciousness or experience to someone else. It is a matter of communication. Therefore, the entire process of song composition and sound arrangement should revolve around your own experience–not technical details and book knowledge. This is a course about how to see music and develop songs in a natural and spontaneous manner–which will lead to more emotion and sincerity in the performance of the song–and ultimately better music.
