Course description

If you're just starting out, we know how daunting the term 'Music Theory' can be!

Well, here at Sonic Academy, we've got you covered with a course designed specifically for those of you using Digital Audio Workstations who are looking to produce electronic dance music but want to know the basics.

Over these quick videos we'll look at some of the terminology, rules, structures and tools that will help you stay in key, write epic melodies and flowing chord progressions along with interesting rhythms and bass lines when producing your tracks.

Although it takes years of learning and practice to fully understand music theory, these videos will help get you started on that journey and give you the fundamental tools to start writing.

Check it out!
