Beginner's Guide to Game Music Theory

This is a short 6-video course that will help you build the essential music theory foundations of Meter, Notes, Intervals, Chords, & Harmony...then learn how to break the rules! This course is taught by VGM Alliance® Coach Jordan Metzger, a 20-yr. veteran musician who knows the ins & outs of how to teach the basics of music theory directly in the context of video game music. Best of all, Jordan uses a ton of great examples from well-known game soundtracks and is a joy to learn from.
This is a must-watch for any new composers, and can even be helpful for advanced composers - it can always benefit us to revisit the basics. You never know what you might learn from someone else's approach.
