Course description

Sonic Academy presents an all new music theory course looking at the world of Chords. We welcome newcomer Phil Dawson, a highly skilled and deeply knowledgeable educator to guide us through what can sometimes be a very complex subject. Here, we bring it right back to basics and look at the core concepts of chordal anatomy like intervals, triads, extended, 7th and major and minor chords. We put this all into context by analysing some real world tracks and discovering how their chord sequences are constructed and how you could apply the same to your tracks.
