Music Fundamentals

What you will learn

You will have a Clear Bird Eye Perspective of How Music Works

You will be able to Start your Journey as a Music Composer in any style of music

Why take this course?

Congratulations!

You are about to learn the essentials of music theory and how to tell your story in a music composition. The elements, the rules and guidelines, the way music works. Music is a language. But not any kind language. The greatest and most powerful means of communication, mankind has ever invented.

A language that we all can relate to. A language to share joy and happiness. A language to share grief and sorrow. A language to portrait darkness and evil. And my favorite: a language to share the noble kindness and heroic goodness of your heart.

YOU can have all this POWER

The power to make people laugh, or cry. The power to give the listeners goosebumps on their arms, and chills running through their body. The power... of emotion. Because that's what music is. A dynamic and compelling story of emotions. And you are the both the writer, and the director of this story.

The Foundations and Guidelines of Music

It was good. I like how Mike demonstrated that chords from major scale were happy and chords from minor scale were sad. It really showed for real!

This course is a real eye opener. Like Mike, I wish I had known all of this before I started composing music, But never mind, I am so glad I am learning it all now! Thanks, Mike.

I already know most of the information in this course, but still found some nice tips for myself. Nevertheless if You are a beginner in music production and want to start Your adventure, Mike did a great job to present basics in very approachable way.

Thanks Mike for making a course that pulls together all the terms and ideas that confuse beginners. I can't wait to do more of your courses. I no longer consider myself a beginner! All it took was your pleasant and focused teaching style. It's amazing so much important into was available in such a short course. I definitely got my money's worth.

Overall I was great! Straight to the point. During the lectures he would often say "listen for (insert lecture topic here) next time you listen to music". It's good advice but can be challenging without examples. I would have loved to see a challenge where you listen to a song and have to name a chord style or something like that just so I knew what I was suppose to listen for. Still, overall, fantastic coarse.

Have been searching for this type and quality of music instruction since I bought my first synth 20 years ago. Mikael is amazing. He pulls you effortlessly into the essence of what you are attempting to learn.

The comparisons to other disciplines, and treating music as a mode of storytelling really helped me through the blockage I was having in studying music. He really simplified the concepts in a way that really energized me to learn more and made it feel less technical and daunting!

This will help you improve your music. It really filled in some holes that I had in my music. I liked it very much, especially the part of chords and simplifying scales.

I'm in a 12 module music composition course on udemy as well ( very advanced) . This course hits the mark for beginners and Mike is delivering it very well. Intervals and chords , scales major and minor are very well explained in this course . Good Job Mike!
