Music theory courses can help you learn chord progressions, scales, rhythm, and harmony. You can build skills in reading sheet music, analyzing compositions, and creating original pieces. Many courses introduce tools like notation software and digital audio workstations, that support composing and arranging music. You'll also explore concepts such as counterpoint, form, and orchestration, allowing you to apply your knowledge in various musical genres and styles.
