Let me share with you the steps I take to teach harmony to our students. It starts by acknowledging that some notes go together, because every note has another note built into it, and that’s what makes stuff like this sound dope. It creates a family of notes we call a scale, and from a scale we get chords.
Now the DNA of a chord describes its structure, but what gets really interesting is its function, because chords that are built the same way have unique functional relationships within songs. Grab the 10-chord toolkit pinned on our account and our website, start working your way through that. Those 10 chords are going to open up an inconceivable number of songs and songwriting opportunities to you.
If you want to go through them with us, the musician basics elective is really suitable to anyone who wants to dig into chords, including people who know nothing or people who’ve been playing a while. It’s six weeks and it’s a hundred $100 to residents. Get in touch if you’d like a seat or show this with someone who belongs in a beat-kitchen class.
