Basic Music Theory: Turnkey Elements

About Basic Music Theory: Turnkey Elements

My name is Elijah and this is my group class called "Basic Music Theory: Turnkey Elements". First of all, the idea isn’t to give you some scientific data, it's to give you an understanding of music using simple words. It's an alphabet of the music language. "Basic" doesn't mean "low level." Think ground, universal, and common. Theory means "system" and it's based on pure practice. We will all be practicing. I'll show you how to build any scale and its chords, and how have fun practicing without drilling memorization. You'll learn how to build any scale from scratch again even if you totally forgot the notes. I'll explain where the rhythms come from and why it's so important. These two parts will form the basis for your fast memorizing music skill, improvisation, composing, and even your technique skills. So please enroll in the class, or if you wanna know more about my ideas you're welcome on my Lessonface page. Hope to see you soon!

Good class as always, Elijah covers the fundamentals well and always explains how they relate back to the more practical knowledge I have.

Elijah is an excellent instructor! Very knowledgeable about music theory and great at teaching students how to use it to make music understandable. I am so glad that I found this course because it is so much easier to make music when you understand its underlying patterns. Highly recommended!

Brilliant session tonight where we covered more complex ways to use rhythms. I didn't realize there were names for taking a repeated series of notes and dropping certain notes out of. Also we talked about accents, including the importance of silence in creating interest.

Fun and good as always. Practicing the major scales and triads in the more complicated keys was a reminder that I still need to practice those. The melody work will be a good jumping off point.

Elijah is a very talented multi instrumentalist. Very knowledgeable, patient and giving. His music theory class is a very different approach that certainly helps you understand.

Every student is a challenge for me. If it's a good student who has the desire and time to practice along with talent, it challenges me to switch on all the power of his nature and make him shine the shortest way possible. If a student doesn't have time to practice I always work on new exercises that could make a difference right away during a lesson.
