This is a class designed for the average person who is ready to take music theory (or music interest) and turn it into a usable skill. Whether you are an active musician or an aspiring musician, this class is perfect for you.
For years I've been teaching Music Theory in the college classroom. These classes I'm making for Udemy 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.
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. If you've tried to learn music theory before, or if you are just starting out - this series of courses is the perfect fit.
Dr. Allen is a professional musician, top-rated Udemy instructor, and university professor. In 2017 the Star Tribune featured him as a "Mover and a Shaker," and he is recognized by the Grammy Foundation for his music education classes.

music theory courses
I have taken Music Theory 1-5 and will be enrolling in his entire catalog of Music Theory Courses.
I have taken so many music theory courses on line and they are so frickin unnecessarily complex.........a sure sign of a poor teacher.
I've tried other ways to assimilate music theory knowledge and nothing has worked as well as Jason Allen's Music Theory courses.
I have taken 3 or 4 other online music theory courses.
I am a lifetime musician, guitar and piano are my main instruments which I have been playing for 30+ years, and although I've taken a few music theory courses in the past I mainly play "by ear".
This series of music theory courses are the best I've found on Udemy.

clearly explained
I do not feel as if I have gaps in my knowledge that have not been clearly explained as part of the course.
Not only is the material clearly explained, Dr Allen has a palpable passion for music theory that comes through in his teaching.
Clearly explained information Si sofferma un po' troppo su cose molto semplici (la differenza tra tono e semitono non mi sembra così difficile da richiedere tanto tempo per essere spiegata) Makes some mistakes in explaining but then corrects himself I have taken the first three Music Theory Comprehensive courses so far.
能不能提供pdf形式的transcript The review clearly explained the patterns that create major and minor scales and how they relate to each other.
great great, clearly explained classes.
