Learn how to write chords and melodies using practical music theory concepts that support feeling, movement, and musical flow. We’ll cover foundational ideas such as scales, chord types, and basic harmonic relationships, and look at how they’re commonly used in electronic and pop-leaning music.

This workshop is open to producers of all levels and is especially helpful for anyone who wants a clearer, more confident approach to writing musical parts.
