PUNKADEMIC Music Theory Comprehensive Complete Part 10 11 & 12 TUTORiAL

This is a class designed for the average person who is ready to take music theory (or music interest) and turn it into a usable skill. Whether you are an active musician or an aspiring musician, 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.

Dr. Allen is a professional musician, top-rated Udemy instructor, and university professor. In 2017 the Star Tribune featured him as a "Mover and a Shaker," and he is recognized by the Grammy Foundation for his music education classes.

This class is a Comprehensive class - it will have many parts, going through my entire annual curriculum.

MUSIC THEORY COMPREHENSIVE COMBINED: PARTS, 10, 11 AND 12 is three courses in one: It includes my three top Music Theory Comprehensive courses: Part 10: Diminished!, Part 11: Melody & Motives, and Part 12: Secondary Dominants.

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 (within a day).
