Basic Music Theory: An Introduction

Hi, I’m Luna, a guitarist with experience playing live gigs in a variety of genres, including jazz, rock, blues, and more. In this six-week course, I’ll guide you through the building blocks of music theory in a fun and interactive way. We’ll explore notes, rhythms, scales, chords, and how sound works, all while connecting theory to real music you can play and enjoy. Whether you are just starting out or curious about how music works, this class is designed to be hands-on, engaging, and easy to follow. By the end of the course, you’ll have a solid foundation in music theory and the confidence to apply it to your own playing, listening, or music creation.
