Course Description

** UDEMY BESTSELLER **This course is "5-Star Certified"by the International Association of Online Music Educators and Institutions (IAOMEI). This course has been independently reviewed by a panel of experts and has received a stellar 5-star rating.
100%Answer Rate! Every single question posted to this class is answered within 24 hours by the instructor. Welcome to the COMPLETE Music Theory Guide!
This is a class designed for the average person who is ready to take music theory (or music interest)and turn it intoa 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 memorization. Most of these concepts you can learn by just understandingwhychords 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 2017the 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.

Exceptional course!!

BRILLIANT STUFF!

By JP Sheehan on 11/8/2020

Wonderfully informative with an outstanding instructor. Lectures were engaging and illuminating. This course fleshed out concepts with which I had a basic familiarity and exposed me to brand new areas of music theory.

By Jordan Rhodes on 11/8/2020

Easy to follow along. These three (4,5&6) where slightly more challenging than the last three, But I think a better word would be 'engaging'.

By Norma Corsini on 10/21/2020

Jason Allen is a very good teacher!??

By Ron Bulger on 10/19/2020

Very informative and he has a good method of communicating the info needed to progress thru the courses. This is my second set of courses of his. i have one more set then maybe the last set.

By Richard Webb on 10/19/2020

I knew the what about a lot of the topics but am learning a lot about they why

By Stephan Placeres on 10/18/2020

Such an outstanding course. Very extensive. I don't believe other courses lay it out like Jason. Was very satisfied with Parts 1, 2, & 3. I'm only 25% into this course and I must say, after completing this course, I will continue with Jason's courses all the way till the end.

By R4ndy on 10/5/2020

Fantastic course so far. Clear explanations and very interesting music examples from both modern and classical music.

By Catherine Warner on 9/26/2020

so great to review and the same great explanations as first course

By Larry on 9/26/2020

I'm boning up on my previous music theory classes from the 70s. This class will enlighten my understanding of Celtic music's use of modes as I seek to improve my melodic variations in my performances for Irish tin whistle and flute. Anchor Up fellow GVSU Laker alum. I'm class of '99.
