Composition & music theory

We will organize the correspondence between do-re-mi and CDE, sharps and flats, semitones and whole tones, and the octave structure for beginners in composition.

We will explain the differences between keys, tonics, and scales, and how C major is used to put together melodies and chords.

We will explain the arrangement of whole tones and semitones, the relationship between C major and A minor, relative key, and how to use them in melody.

We will explain the difference between roots, thirds, fifths, triads, major chords, and minor chords, along with how to count them on the keyboard.

Using C major as an example, we will explain the seven chords created using only notes on the scale and the roles of tonic, subdominant, and dominant.

We will explain how to create a progression from four chords using the roles of stability, development, tension, and resolution, and how to match them with the bass, inversion, and melody.

We will introduce practical steps for beginners, such as creating from rhythm, using chord sounds, repeating motifs, and determining range and rests.

Learn what intros, verses, pre-choruses, choruses, interludes, bridges, and outros do—and how to build movement through density, register, and rhythm.
