For years Ive been teaching Music Theory in the college classroom These classes Im making for Udemy use the same syllabus Ive used in my college classes for years at a fraction of the cost I believe anyone can learn Music Theory - and cost shouldnt be a barrier

Recently I was named as a semi-finalist for the Grammy Foundations Music Educator of the Year award because of my in-person university classes Now Im taking those classes to Udemy in an online format in order to reach more students and give them the joy of Music Theory

My approach to music theory is to minimize 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

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

This class is Part 6: SATB Composition and it starts what would be the second semester of a college music theory class

Throughout this class Ill be providing you with many worksheets for you to practice the concepts on If you get stuck you can review the videos or post a question and Ill back to it as fast as possible Also in this class I have several complete analysis projects that we will complete together - just like in my college classes

In this class we will cover:

My approach to Music Theory

Tools of Counterpoint

Types of Motion in Counterpoint

18th Century Counterpoint

Chordal Dissonance

Cadences in Bass&Melody Accompaniment

Cadences in 4-Voice Accompaniment

Non-Chord Tones in 4-Voice Accompaniment

Suspensions in 4-Voice Accompaniment

Example Analysis Projects

Writing 4-Voice (SATB) Lines

SATB Notation

SATB Ranges

Voice Crossings

Doubling

T-D-T Phrasing

Establishing Tonic Areas

Establishing Dominant Areas

Resolving Leading Tones (in 4-Voice Accompaniment)
