We’ll establish a strong base by exploring the pulse of music, note values and rests, the magic of the staff and clefs, and more.

Dive deeper into rhythm with eighth notes and rests, beaming, dots, ties, and understanding how notes and rests work together. Time signatures like 3/4 and 2/4 will become your new friends.

Get ready to master the language of music notation! This lesson tackles pitch notation, treble and bass clefs (the grand staff!), accidentals, key signatures, and even enharmonic equivalents.

Take your understanding a step further with half steps, whole steps, the chromatic scale, and the whole tone scale.

Let’s explore the world of major scales! We’ll delve into scale degrees, how sharps and flats can change things up, and how these scales are used in composing music.

Now, it’s time to unlock the secrets of minor scales. We’ll explore the natural minor scale, the relationship between major and minor keys, and the unique language used for minor scales.

Get ready for some advanced concepts! This lesson dives into the harmonic minor scale, both ascending and descending melodic minor scales, and how key signatures work with minor scales.

We’ll embark on a journey to understand intervals, the distance between notes. Learn to differentiate between major and minor intervals, and discover their importance in creating musical harmony.

Time to put your skills to the test! In this culminating lesson, you’ll use everything you’ve learned throughout the course to compose a short piece of music, showcasing your newfound understanding of music theory.
