Let’s start making music and go Beyond Music Theory!
Beyond Music Theory
– Reference Manual –
About the eBook
Music is a very broad field of study and music theory alone can be a highly comprehensive and demanding subject. As I was studying, I started to feel the need of having one main book with all those concepts and ideas put together in one place, instead of having to look for it elsewhere.
So, I started to compile all my notes and thoughts and created what you see here. An eBook that contains a large part of the music theory concepts, ready to be used in your music composition practice and presented in the most simple and concise manner. This is the result of my personal needs as a composer, teacher and fellow music student over the years and I sincerely hope that it can also be your Reference Manual for music theory.

This is the first of a series of courses designed to set you on the right track to take the most out of your musical ideas and creativity as a composer or music producer by applying the musical knowledge that you may already have and translate it into music.

All the links in this course point to the Beyond Music Theory Blog where you can find the supporting music theory materials to follow through the exercises.
