Ever wondered why your favorite songs sound so catchy? Learn the fundamentals of music theory in a way that’s clear, hands-on, and directly connected to songs you actually listen to today. This class covers the basics—scales, intervals, chords, and common chord progressions—while showing how these concepts appear in the songs you hear every day. Students will practice reading, hearing, and creating simple melodies and harmonies, analyze examples from popular tracks, and experiment with their own musical ideas. By the end of class, you’ll understand not just what music sounds like, but why it works. No prior experience is needed.
