RHYTHM, King of the Omniverse: how to use it, speak it, arrange it and produce it
This course unlocks rhythm in a way that's easily accessible to musicians of every level of training. Based on decades of experience in the industry as a composer / arranger / producer and guitarist, it includes some powerful things that are not taught in music school. Clave, for instance, is to rhythm what a key signature is to harmony. Yet for some reason, very few schools teach it at all.
It’s done wonders for everyone who has taken it, and covers a LOT of ground:
Basics, such as
- Context of rhythm as the "strong force" of music,
- Counting rhythm,
- Identifying a beat,
- Note values & time signatures
And more advanced things, like:
- Classifying a groove,
- Communicating about rhythm,
- More about strong & weak beats,
- More about pushes & pulls,
- Downbeats and upbeats, viewed from different "altitudes",
- 12 LESSONS on how to write, arrange & produce with Clave,
- Applying various claves & time signatures to a song, and
- What time signatures have in common, viewed from a distance
Note that you don't need to know how to read music to take this course--if you’re untrained, it brings these concepts easily within your grasp. And if you're formally trained, it formats what you already know into a potent toolbox. I give you the same proven, tried-and-true musical devices used by all legendary hitmakers—from Beethoven to George Martin to Quincy to Metallica to Dr. Dre.
ALSO in this course are two bonus areas, featuring two extremely powerful tools:
CONTEXT and "The Who, Why and What Filter", and
CAPSTONE and "The Envelope".
NOTE:
This course is part of The Arranger's Toolbox, which is a very powerful course for musical creatives of all levels and genres. It's proven to transform the musical process for the highly trained and relatively untrained alike, by delivering nuts-and-bolts understanding of how to create music on a par with the world standard.
