Frequently asked questions
do i need to know music theory to take this course?
No. All instruction is delivered in plain, producer-centric language and demonstrated in the piano roll. Core lessons rely on stock instruments available in every major DAW. Optional segments showcase additional nuance with widely used synthesizers such as Serum and Vital, but the underlying harmonic techniques translate to any software environment.
I already understand basic songwriting. Will this course still add value?
Yes. The curriculum moves quickly beyond foundational voicings and focuses on extended harmony—sevenths, ninths, elevenths, thirteenths—as well as modal interchange and non-diatonic progressions that feature prominently in contemporary electronic music. If you can identify a C-major triad, you are prepared; the course will refine your harmonic palette and enhance your creative decision-making.
Is the material genre-specific, or can I apply these techniques to any style of electronic music?
The principles taught are genre-agnostic and transferable. Whether you produce house, dubstep, techno, future bass, or cinematic electronica, the harmonic frameworks—extended chords, modal interchange, and functional reharmonization—equip you to craft progressions that complement your chosen aesthetic while maintaining commercial viability.
