Course description

 In the third of our Beginners Guide to Music Theory series we look at using chords. We show you how chords are constructed and how to use them effectively in a track. We use real world examples to demonstrate what we're talking about and show you how a number of the worlds best dance tracks we're put together. All this plus a resource pack featuring all the MIDI clips used and created in the course so you can start building your own dance classic!
