Music Theory - Fundamentals for Composition in Any Genre (Udemy.com)

great, but I'd love if it had some real songs which would be practiced and those concepts which were taught were actually applied more. Though, no doubt the explanation was fantastic and the value given by the course was truly worth it for a beginner

I really love that Max brought in a whole section on mindset and prompting questions to work on that mindset and to dig down into what this truly means to us as creators. Mindset is so important with everything you do in life, and I was very pleased to see that there was such a heavy emphasis on this topic. He also asked questions that I hadn't thought of and brought up things in the worksheet I hadn't even considered. Answering those questions revealed more of why this is vitally important to me right now and gave me more concepts to work with. I'm very excited to continue with this course!

Once, I had a teacher who said, “Being an artist is not the same as being a musician.” Anyone can teach you music theory, techniques, or how to improve your dexterity—but finding someone who can teach you how to actually be a musician is rare. And after spending a few years in the music industry, I can say that’s absolutely true. Of course, understanding music theory is important, but without the right mindset, it’s hard to achieve anything meaningful. Everyone talks about wanting to learn theory, but very few people actually sit down and practice. Why? Because no one really teaches you what to practice, how to practice, or how to create a personal schedule or plan that suits your unique path as a musician. That’s why what Max shares in this course is so valuable. I still can’t believe someone actually took the time to write a course that truly captures what it means to be a musician. I absolutely loved it—not just because it teaches music, but because it helps guide you toward becoming the kind of musician you truly want to be. And yes, at the end of the course, there’s a downloadable PDF with a personalized plan full of activities that help you develop useful skills—like easy ways to practice intervals, scales, chords, and how to apply all that in fun and practical ways: learning songs, doing ear training, melodic transcription, and more. 100% worth it.

If you are confused about music and feel lost, you can leave behind all the unnecessary thoughts and worries that weigh you down and relax here, Max is definitely someone who is very conscious and knows what he is talking about, after dozens of hours with him (I know the course is 8 hours but it will take you much more than that to absorb if you are a beginner like me) I have changed my mind about many things in life, not just music. I started to try to do proper value to whatever I was doing, to take what I was doing seriously and to try to make sure that I was having fun while I was doing it. and it's not magic, it's a completely deterministic process. if you follow Max, you will definitely win. He knows what he is talking about because he must have seen it hundreds of times in himself and in his students. don't feel you HAVE to follow what he says strictly, but if you do, you can move forward confident that there is a great roadmap already laid out for you, and after a while you will find yourself in a much better position than where you started. thank you for everything. you are a great teacher, mentor and idol Max. hope to see you again in the next parts!

I am brand new to learning music. I just picked up the guitar 2 1/2 months ago and started studying theory a little over a month ago. I was struggling with it, until I found this course. Max lays everything out in the beginning as if you know nothing at all, and then he launches you into space. It’s no wonder he calls it The Warp Drive. My partner, who has been a musician for 25+ years told me a few days ago, that it was safe to say that I know more about music theory now than he does. If you are on the fence, jump over it right now. This class is worth far, far more than what he’s asking for it. I’m excited to take the next two, once I’ve taken the time to fully ingest what I’ve learned here. Which may be a while. And that’s okay. As he keeps saying, it’s not a race.

I am very picky with music theory learning. But this course nails the bar, which means that I truly feel that Konyi really have good pedagogical skills to teach effectively. If you want to learn to compose, you need to be able to reproduce, analyze many music you like. Then with these skills also the rest of possibilities are opening. In my opinion, when we start learning an instrument, already we have to learn music theory, to better understand the possibilities and speed up our learning. With this course and the upcoming courses in the series all these are addressed.

I think this is well rounded fundamental knowledge for musicians. It is suitable as well for beginners, and for more experienced musicians it could be precious reminder on so many important aspects of musicianship, that we tend to forget. For example, I really like this sentence that Max said somewhere close to the end of the course: "Have discipline- feeling of self-doubt or not are irrelevant"; or this one: "Success does not mean having good feelings all the time!" Max, thank you for underlying the importance of well being in the process of learning!

I've searched for years to find a course that fit everything I wanted when it came to learning music and musical theory. This course checked every single box. Max's pace of teaching, the way the sections built on top of one another, contextualizing the information and even touching on the psychology behind music were priceless. I started picking up on things I once thought out of reach and gained confidence with every video. I would recommend this course 100x over to anyone who's looking to get into music and not just gain practical knowledge, but learn how to put it into practice as well. I look forward to taking the other courses in Musical Warp Drive. Thank you, Max!

Music Warp Drive is great for anyone who interests in music. Few words to describe this course = well structure, engaging & inspiration, full of knowledge and systematic way. Resources or materials that will be given are precious. Each word/Knowledge that the instructor communicates or teaches us describes how he really uses experience in music field, pass to us. As my goal is to become music-artist, this course is vital to me so much. This is the best foundation course to learn music. Thanks a ton!!
