Description

This course is about putting music theory to work. You will learn the fundamentals of Melody, Harmony and Structure while writing your own music along the way. 

We all love to hear and play music so why not also create it!? Even though in today’s digital world, music composition is more exciting and affordable than ever, it’s not a very common hobby. For one reason because some music education is required but also because it’s so daunting to get into it. A finished piece of music seems to be so complex that many people shy away from giving music composition a shot. This course is my attempt to make this awesome hobby more accessible for anyone who is excited about music. I will introduce you to all the necessary theory and tools and techniques to be able to write your own music. I will also show you by means of many examples that it's actually not that hard. See you in the course :D



Who this course is for:

  • Anyone who loves music
  • Anyone who wants to learn more about how music works
  • Anyone who wants to get creative with music

Hi I'am Lucas! I love learning new stuff and am always on the hunt for new skills and experiences so it was just natural for me to end up on udemy. After taking several courses I decided to create one myself. 

With my applied music theory course I want to teach you how you can get creative and have fun with music. I have been teaching other things I love like snowboarding face to face and am making my first steps in the digital world now.
