This is a class designed for the average person who is ready to take their music career (or music interest) and turn it into a business. Whether you are an active musician, an aspiring musician, or an aspiring music manager or agent - 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 the 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.

Throughout this class, If you get stuck, you can review the videos or post a question, and I'll back to it as fast as possible. 

This class is Part 11: Melody, Motives, and Phrases. It continues what would be the second semester of a college music theory class (according to the typical American academic system for learning music theory).

In this class, we will cover:

• Tools of Music Theory

• Why phrases are important

• Identifying Phrases

• Finding Motives

• Labeling Motives and Phrases

• Melody Augmentation

• Melody Diminution

• Melody Inversion

• Melody Extension and Truncation

• Contour, Rhythm, Transposition, and Interval Alterations

• Harmonizing altered melodies

• Musical Sentences

• Musical Periods

• Antecedents

• Consequents

• Performing Phrases

• Hypermeter

• Phrase Rhythm

• ...and much, much more!

And of course, once you sign up for this course you automatically get huge discounts to all the upcoming parts of this class.

You will not have another opportunity to learn Music Theory in a more comprehensive way than this. 

All the tools you need to successfully learn Music Theory are included in this course and the entire course is based on real-life experiences - not just academic theory.
