MUSIC THEORY & EAR TRAINING for SONGWRITERS, Level 1

Designed to dovetail with THE ROOTS songwriting curriculum, Music Theory & Ear Training Level 1 equips the songwriter with a foundational understanding of harmony, melody, rhythm, and phrasing in the construction of songs. Learn to recognize chord changes and intervals by ear and come to understand how the songs you love fit together and how the songs you write might better become the songs you love.

• Level 1 explores diatonic harmony (and if that phrase is unfamiliar to you, Level 1 is your class!).
• Level 2 breaks you out beyond the key and explores secondary dominants, modal interchange, parallel major and minor, and more.
