What people are saying

music theory

It's a really nice course for those who want to apply their music theory knowledge to compose music.

However, it is recommended to have some basic knowledge of music theory before enrolling for the course.

If you are already solidly grounded in music theory and have much of voice leading on autopilot, this class is faster.

There is a lot of material covered and can be challenging for someone with little knowledge of music theory, but with some extra baxkground reading (and some wikipedia articles) one can catch up quickly.

I would not recommend this to someone who does not already have at least a bit of music theory background.

Make sure you are fully familiar with the material of introductory courses in Music Theory and have no difficulty with reading chords and their inversions to make most use of it!

I write electronic music and while I knew the basics of music theory I was not sure how actually to come up with a cord progression or harmonize the melody.The course really make a huge difference for me.

I learned a lot about music theory and how much of the style of the classical period works.
