Music Theory for Electronic Producers - The Complete Course! (Udemy.com)

I've tried a music theory course before but the lessons never stuck. This course, however, is an exception. I found myself far more invested in this course, to the point where I could listen for hours at a time and still retain the knowledge. Mixing in music production is a big plus and I think this is what sets this course apart from simple lectures: It's one thing being taught how to create a song, but it's another thing to take to lessons and put them in context immediately afterwards. Whether you're learning music theory for knowledge or for music production, I believe this is how it should be done.

Good for beginners, covers the most important aspects in my opinion, even though there are now many valuable YouTube channels that you can also use. I think it would be even better if the song analysis referred to more well-known EDM tracks instead of the ones presented in this course (I understand the idea behind it), but it would be beneficial to go through successful tracks and see how they were written, e.g., which chords were used to get a grasp why it worked so well. Thanks for the effort :)

Overall good beginner course to music theory. Unfortunately longer than necessary. Something I didn't like about this course was the repetition over and over and over again. I take notes. So, I really don't need to hear the same thing over and over again. It's just such a waste of time. This also made me feel like Tomas didn't really think about a good structure for the course. He seemed to be bogged down every now and then. It seemed like he just sat down and hit record without having any plan. Just keep it short and on point and prepare the lesson before you start recording. Another thing that really bothered me was that Tomas counts the semitones in a wrong way. One semitone up means going up a half step and not staying on the note like Tomas teaches for the first count. He says going up 5 semitones, then 4 to get a major chord while starting your first count on the base note. That's just wrong. If I count 5 and 4 semitones the right way I would get C - F - A instead of the correct notes C - E - G. So, the correct numbers to remember are 4 and 3 to get the major chord, as well as 3 and 4 for the minor chord. Please use the correct semantics! The last thing that was a bit annoying was that his face was covering parts of what he was showing. It's enough to have a voice in the background. There doesn't have to be someone to look at all the time. I don't wanna be just criticising. So, here is what I liked: - the different patterns for getting major and minor scales and chords - the patterns for the different chords in the major and minor scales - Tomas' passion for teaching - keeping it simple - showing examples - showing the whole process of writing drums, bass and pads as well as their arrangement All in all I would still recomment this course especially to total beginners who want to learn more about music theory and why it's important to know.

Hi! My dream is to be able to produce music that strengthen people and that make them happy. It is also telling stories and messages through music. You could sum it up by saying my mission is to be able to spread love across the globe as a career. YOU, Tomas, but also all of you who run these courses, (Ian, Christopher etc) have helped me to get going. And things are about to change for the better. Your courses are fantastic, as you explain golden nuggets in an easy, relaxed and funny way, that at the same time never cut down on, or filters, the professionalism . It's obvious you are highly professionals with a passion for music and music production, that on top of that got a brilliant way of sharing it with others. I'm so happy and pleased with your courses and I will continue to embrace your content and knowledge. I wish all of you all the best. You've gotten yourselves a swedish friend here.

I thought the course was instructive and easy to follow. Tomas emphasizes and repeats important elements of theory while introducing new things which helps when revisiting different lectures. I found it geared towards electronic DAW music but there's certainly useful tips that can be applied to all music.

Tomas George has been a great instructor. Ive purchased three of his courses. Would highly recommend

detailed course

30% of the way through really enjoying the teaching method. then the ast 20% of it wasn't illustrated as good as it could've

Excellent!

Very informative, am looking forward to experimenting with music with my new learning

Really informative and does not over complicate anything

Good clear explanation of topic matter.
