A Gentle Introduction to Music Theory

Music Theory applies to all types of music, not just Jazz and Classical music and it’s not as difficult as most people think.  

We’ll discuss the basics of music theory with connections to rock, popular, and jazz music.  You’ll learn some practical information about notes, scales, chords, and chord progressions.  You’ll get a better idea of why songs you already know sound the way they do.  You’ll have your instrument in hand the whole time applying what you are learning.

You’ll leave the workshop with basic materials and links to references we cover so you can use them in the future.

Level: For advanced beginner or intermediate musicians with an open mind about music.  A familiarity with basic chord and scales is required.  An ability to understand music notation is helpful but not required.
