Music Theory for Humans Mission Statement

I have played a lot of places with a lot of people. I often found myself talking with musicians about music theory and the conversation usually ended with them saying, "I wish I knew more of this stuff." 

Well, here it is.

Music Theory for Humans is music basics for normal people. It's meant to be watched as a 1-on-1 lesson as if I am sitting next to you with you at your instrument with a pad of paper. I give space for you to think through what I am saying and I give a lot of examples.

The point is to give you access to the tools needed to create. Much like a painter showing how to mix colors. 

I am not going to give you "3 EASY STEPS TO PLAY 500 SONGS!" I feel this is equivalent to feeding someone with a fish for the day.  Rather, I want to help develop your musical mind so you are able to truly create. To help you hear so you can imitate and borrow from other musicians. To help the sounds in your head transfer to your instrument or voice. 

It takes work, consistent and intentional work. I will help you in your work too. I don't just explain the concepts but I teach you how to practice with provided study materials. I also give you homework. Yes! Homework! Printable PDFs that will help reinforce the concepts we talk about. 

Every teacher says, "there are no stupid questions," and I want that to be true here. You are always welcome to ask any question. 

I hope you will work hard, it is worth it. Not to make money or to gain fame, but to enjoy the wondrous mystery that is music.
