"Is this Theory?
Or is this Reality?"

Lesson 2: Notation
Lesson 3: Major and Minor Scales
Lesson 4: Intervals
Lesson 5: Chords
Lesson 6: Texture and Arranging
Lesson 7: Chord Progressions
Lesson 8: Dominance
Lesson 9: Cadences
Lesson 10: Applied Dominance
Lesson 11: Harmonic Overtone Series
Lesson 12: Arranging Exercise
Lesson 13: Lyrics 1
Lesson 13a: Lyrics 2
Lesson 14: Analysis
Lesson 15: Arranging again
Lesson 16: Tonal Modulation
Lesson 17: Time Signatures and Lyrics
Lesson 18: Intro to Lyrics and Poetry
Lesson 19: Storytelling and Imagery
Lesson 20: Lyrics and Ideas
Lesson 21: Motifs
Lesson 22: Writing Methods
Lesson 23: Chromaticism and Colour
Do the whole course or choose a subject, if you have any comments or questions get them posted and lets get these discussions rolling.
In DTFs own words :
"The goals of this project would be to give lessons on theory, encourage discussion, and advance everyone's knowledge."

This is superb, total respect for DTF in not only using his time to create this, but also in how professional the presentation.
I would be very interested to see a lesson in creating lyrics, this is my weak point in creating songs. :razz:
And like the theory of music there are certain grammatical and rhythmical ways of writing that create lyrics.
But this is off topic....
I believe you also have some lessons posted in the forums Denis. I'm sure you had one about recording vocals, but I couldn't find it back. I'll have to go investigating again.

Hmmm...Well you've got to use words like you would notes, but how you put them together is up to your own 'inspiration' I suppose.Denis wrote…

I've used another technique recently layering vocals, I used it recently re recording this song

This is similar effect to how they did it before digital technology, basically you copy the the track and move it forward in time by approx .010 m/secs (best to experiment around it to find the optimum effect level). Also if you blend the reverb/echo so that the original has more it fills in the gap between the two times, thus making it sound rather FULL & LARGE....lol. This if far the best method I've used so far. Pink Floyd used it in many of their tracks. Layering vox is created in most popular audio recordings, but you can use it for any genres. HAPPY DAYS
Hey. Well thanks for bringing attention to this, glad people like them. I see now that I forgot 13. I've been meaning to do a lesson on lyrics, I'll get working on it soon to fill in the gap. If anyone has any questions or wants to add/correct anything just let me know, PM or put a comment in a thread.
Cheers.

Is there anything on modes on any of your lessons? As a classically trained musician this was one of the hardest things to wrap my head around, but once I understood, realized how simple they can be!
Just an idea..
I was a tutor my last semester at Berklee and modes and tensions were some of the subjects I worked with students most on. This is a great post, and I'm glad people care about learning theory!
