Master Music Talent Academy presents Master Music Talent Theory – The Principle Concepts of Musical Theory. This free FULL course of Master Music Talent Academy teaches you or helps you, with short structured lessons, about all the concepts of music theory. That is, it teaches you about Melody, Harmony, Rhythm, Notes and the Musical Staff.
We wanted to introduce a theory course that presents students with the least amount of a classical approach, but still offers those aspects to them if need be. We wanted to break theory down and make it as short and as easy to understand as possible so students can focus on applying it to and playing their instrument or voice. In doing so we broke theory down into three sections. The sections are namely Pitch, Rhythm and The Musical Staff. The sections of Pitch and Rhythm use little classical understanding, terminology and references and, are there for students who just want to understand music without a classical approach. The section of the Musical Staff is dedicated to classical concepts, terminology and reading. We've also included a full-length Glossary of Musical Terms from A-Z with hundreds of musical definitions and terminologies in various languages used in music today.
After completing this course you will be able to understand what it is you hear when listening to music. You will be able to comprehend how music is formulated, structured and you will be able to read and write music in its notated form.
