Course Description

Struggling to understand musical theory as a music producer? Look no further!

In this brand new course, learn everything from scales to arpeggios, MIDI files to chords, and everything in between. Specifically catered towards music producers, we will look at musical theory in this context.

Although this is geared towards users of FL Studio, this is also applicable for users of any DAW (Digital Audio Workstation)

What's included?

  • Learn the differences between major and minor scales, and the 3 types of minor scales that exist

  • The Blues scale, and how you can use it

  • What chords are, why they are vitally important in writing music, and how to use popular chord progressions (as well as some not-so-popular ones!)

  • Arpeggios and how they can be used in your music

  • The Circle of Fifths

  • MIDI Files, how to import and export them

  • And much more!

We start off in the introduction by explaining why musical theory is important, even in this day and age of automation, digital music production and vocoding, where it seems like everything is already done for you. We look at how to use your tools in your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) to your advantage, and work alongside them, rather than simply relying on them.

We then look at the differences between scales, firstly looking at major and minor scales, before moving on to more unique examples such as the blues scale.

In addition to this, chord progressions are then examined, along with detailed explanations of how you can go about writing your own chord progressions and melodies to go along with them

Instructor Details

Stephen Loader

I've been producing music for 10+ years. I started off using Propellorhead's Reason, and then migrated over to FL Studio in order to start using external plugins and VSTs. I mainly produce Progressive and Electro House as well as Trance, and have recently taken an interest in Trap and Hardstyle. 

I have been teaching electronic music for 6+ years, and I currently run 'The Basics of FL Studio' on Udemy.

I have a SoundCloud account that showcases the music I make professionally. You can also find my music on all popular streaming platforms, such as Spotify and Apple Music, under the artist name 'Octen'.

The instructor should have spent more time and went into more detail. This was a rapid crash course. I did learn some vital information but for a price that other platforms offer for free.

Its very hard for me to understand but that could be just me

no midi files found

By Mark Jegi on 8/27/2022

Expanded my view of using the piano roll to build and manipulate chording. Especially enjoyed that Stephen's examples were based on trance. One problem I've seen in every FL Studio tutorial is that one must know a lot to learn a little. In this case I was unable to follow any of the piano roll copying/pasting/transposing/scale shifting operations he controlled through unseen typing keyboard shortcuts. I will most likely view this course again once I have a better handle on the operations he is using to do this.

i still dont know much yet but im still learning.

By Guy Acellam on 10/9/2021

Some files are missing eg Midi files for chords

By Jor Seagers on 7/31/2021

The concepts so far have been easy for me to understand and I am genuinely curious to know about music theory in order to further my knowledge with music in general, up my game with producing music and have a bit of a learning curve in learning to play guitar hopefully.

Short brilliant teaching

By Nick Clarke on 9/27/2020

Finally....... A course that is truly amazing. No nonsensical jargon, just straight to the point information and demonstrations of how to implement the skills. So much knowledge crammed into the short and sharp video lectures. Stephen manages brilliantly to teach you how to do, what to do, where to do and why it's done. Efficiently and effectively. Don't sleep on this course! I spent a lot of money on other courses and really wish I just got started with Stephens courses, its all you need to get started and keep progressing. Solid foundation for serious wanna-be producers.
