TOP REVIEWS FROM GETTING STARTED WITH MUSIC THEORY
This course was very helpful as i earned a basic knowledge of music theory...........and also it is the best for the beginners who are keen in learning music.
This course is enlightening as it digs deep into the essential basics of Music theory. I had a nice time taking this course.
Fantastic lectures and very easy-to-understand, hard to master lessons. This course will leave you with a much deeper understanding of music if you are a beginner to music theory like I am.
Excellent information but I think that this course needs more visual examples, when the instructor is talking, the presentation does not move and He give examples but they don´t follow graphically.
