Udemy - Music Theory for Electronic Musicians 3: Extended Harmony screenshot
ilfsn | Video + Project File | 1.82GB
Producing music using the harmonic patterns of the professionals!
Understand and apply new harmonic ideas to your songs
Produce music using techniques outside of just major and minor keys
Understand and use the 7 musical modes

This course is an extension of Music Theory for Electronic Musicians, and Music Theory for Electronic Musicians 2, in which we learned how to work with the piano roll editor in a DAW to make harmonies, melodies, and whole tracks. In this class we expand on those ideas and work with harmonic patterns (harmony) that is more rich than just major and minor.

Production Techniques Through Theory
The most important part of this class is an extensive foray into using these techniques in actual tracks. I'll be creating 9 tracks through this class, right along with you, each using a different technique so you can see exactly how I incorporate it right into my music.

Full Sessions
After each production project, I'll give you the whole session of what I made using the techniques for you to play with. You can download it, expand on it, re-work it, and even release it as your work.

If Your Music is Missing Something, This is Probably It.
If you are finding that you are writing track after track, and while they sound good, there is something they are missing - then this it. You are missing the sense of harmony that professional producers have. In this class, I'll arm you with all the tools you need to produce those tracks just like you imagine them.

Who should take this course? Anyone interested in producing their own music. This will get you up and running and give your tracks a unique sound in no time.

Structure This course consists of video lectures, which all contain a session in Ableton Live 9. If you are using a different program (or none at all), no worries! This isn't a class on how to use Ableton Live, and the concepts can be applied to any DAW.

Does anyone know exactly what the existence philosophy of Udemy is?

As someone who studied music for many years (play trumpet, saxophone, guitar and piano), I am hopelessly unable to understand what is the "theory for electronic musicians". As if electronic musicians use a different music theory. The fundamentals of music theory are the same for Beethoven of David Guetta. Maybe those fundamentals do not apply to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan or some drummers in the amazon basin, but in general I can't grasp how you can "study" some theory for electronic music using Ableton Live (the DAW that I use every day).
I'm in fact so curious that I may grab this and watch just to see what it is all about.

Please do, As someone just trying to get into Theory I find myself looking to introduce it in a way I can directly apply to Pro Tools. So I suppose "Electronic" Music theory is interesting if it holds water.

Started downloading the five parts (from work... dis gonna be long...)
I checked on YT and there is a six minute video about this. Honestly, for me just doesn´t make any sense. Maybe I'm being way too traditionalist, but to learn theory you need a book (ideally a teacher and a book) and an instrument to see how the theory applies in real life: you learn where the notes are and how the relate to each other.
Ableton LIve is my favourite DAW, the only one that I use, but no matter what they say it is NOT an instrument. They try to sell the clip section of Ableton as an "instrument" but it is like calling a tape recorder an instrument. In the series, the instructor uses Ableton piano roll to show where the notes are, as if using a piano roll in a DAW instead of a piano transforms you into an electronic musician (or a DAW musician). Well, a perfect fourth interval or a mixolydian scale is the same for me inside Ableton or for Chopin when he was composing the Nocturnes.
I'm very curious about this, will download and watch.
Thanks ilfsn for this share.

May be the last Computer Music Magazine issue will be interesting for you. There is a long article about theory in there, with examples and files to work with etc...

OK, I downloaded the first two parts and watched 15 videos.
The dude who gives the classes obviously know the theory but the whole idea of teaching (or trying to learn) like this TO ME makes no sense at all. I understood that it was music theory for musicians who create electronica, but in fact it was my mistake: is music theory for people who doesn´t have music theory but still want to create music using electronic devices, like a computer with a DAW. MY BAD, sorry.
Basically, the instructor uses Ableton's piano roll to draw a MIDI file with a scale (major, minor, mixolydian, pentatonic etc etc), editing the notes with a mouse. From there he moves notes to discuss the chords that you can create with any given scale. Basic Music Theory 101.
But the fact that you are stuck with the piano roll makes everything much more difficult. Several generations of musicians have been learning using the circle of fifths for a reason: because with one single diagram you know all your scales, all your incidentals and even your transpositions. To teach all that with a piano roll is ludicrous. ALL MUSIC THEORY makes sense in the context of the pentagram: you can´t learn music theory in an abstract vacuum without those five little lines.
So, maybe the title of the series is wrong, and it should be "Music Theory for Those who don´t play an instrument and just use a DAW". There are MANY MANY young creative people who can benefit from this approach. But the idea that you can learn music theory to apply to a DAW will take you nowhere.
Some time ago I was watching a video of a guy remixing the song "Royals", by Lorde, and at one point he took a book titled like "Music Theory for Electronic Musicians" and I was "WTF???" How is that a guy remixes a song (and even does a really good job at that) without being unable to identify the chords or their progression? (I still recommend you to watch that video, tho...)
Anyway, maybe I am discovering only now that there are out there "musicians" that don´t play any instrument and just acquire the basic knowledge to edit a MIDI file. Good for them.

I can see that some can benefit for this videos, but to me they are still frankly misguiding.

Again, sorry for the rant and all thanks to ilfsn for this share.

Interesting review, thank you. Can you recommend a good music theory course then, which uses the proper method you described?
