About this event
Music Theory Made Fun and Easy is an Artichoke Community Music School class led by Tracy Kim, $225 for seven classes. Drop-ins are allowed for $40 per session, please email Tracy at tracykimmusic(*at*)gmail.com.
This class is in-person at Artichoke Music (in SE Portland). Limited to 15 students. Classroom is located upstairs (front classroom).
Tracy makes learning and UNDERSTANDING music theory fun and EASY! By using popular music songs and examples from many genres, students get a chance to learn new music, while learning all aspects of music theory.
If you have been wondering: what key a song is in, how to transpose a song, how to use a capo, how (and why) to use the circle of fifths, the difference between 3/4 time and 6/8, what is a mode (Dorian, Mixolydian,etc,), what is I vi ii V, or what a borrowed chord or secondary dominant is...look no further, you found the class that will explain all this and more!
The topics include: chromatic scales, major scales, triads, key signature, 6th and 7th chords, understanding formulas, common chord progressions, how to know when a song is in a minor key, modulations, transposition, circle of fifths, extended and altered chords, secondary dominants, diminshed chord theory, borrowed chords, and slash chords.
