Welcome to Music Theory Fundamentals for Songwriters!

ONLINE MASTERCLASS (with Q&A)

Join us for an online masterclass where you’ll learn the essential music theory concepts every songwriter should know.

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced songwriter looking to brush up on your music theory, this workshop is for you.

We’ll build music theory from the ground up, diving into topics like

• What makes a scale and scale
• What different kinds of scales do songwriters use?
• The difference between major, minor, and diminished chords
• The different kinds of 7th chords
• How to find chords in any key
• The relationships between chords
• How (and why) songwriters choose chords from a key
• How (and why) songwriters use chords outside a key

All of the theory will be explained through the lens of a practicing songwriter, always coming back to ask (and answer!): How is this useful to me as a songwriter?
