Today's video is my FULL "music theory for dum-dums" crash course! Music theory 101!

Look, I know most people don't think music theory lessons are as interesting as we piano teachers do... so I'm trying to keep this video interesting.

This is going to be music theory explained on a broad level, and all the basic concepts will be laid out for you in this free course.

Specifically, we're going to look at how music chords theory and music scales theory tie together to create a real SONG.

We'll definitely also cover chord progressions theory too.

That's the thing, we can talk about music theory for beginners all day long...

But actually showing you how to USE this within the context of REAL SONGS is what's going to make sense of it all.

When learning about music theory piano is definitely the best instrument to illustrate the concepts on. But what you'll learn in this video is also applicable to guitar, or any other instrument.
