Music Composition 2 is the second course in a series of two courses that teaches how music is put together and how to write your own music. The course is divided into two parts. Part one covers the study of harmonic composition. Part two covers the study of compositional form. (Rhythmic and melodic composition were studied in Music Composition 1. It is highly recommended that you take Music Composition 1 before taking this course.)
Course lectures consist of both video and text. Each section of the course covers a particular concept (or related concepts). Concepts and compositional techniques are demonstrated throughout the course with real musical examples (pictures and audio samples).
Besides lectures, each section of the course also contains memory questions, section quiz, listening assignments, and composition assignments. Memory questions serve to summarize and reinforce key concepts learned, while the quizzes tests the students’ knowledge and understanding of the material from each section. Students who take this course will get practice notating music with music notation software. In the composition assignments students will get real life practice using the information and techniques learned in each section to write and develop their own harmonic progressions. By the end of the course students will have composed a number of entire pieces in various compositional forms.
Who should take this course? Every student of music should know how to compose! It is a sad but true fact that most modern music teachers and music courses do not include music composition as part of the students’ musical education. In the past it was typical for students of music to be able to compose music. The “complete” musician can play an instrument, has knowledge of music theory AND can also compose! If you want to deepen your understanding of music, learn to write it!
Who this course is for:
- Anyone who has always wanted to learn how to write music!
- Every student of music!
- Beginning Composers/Songwriters
- Composers/Songwriters with previous knowledge or experience who want to brush up and hone their skills (and maybe learn some new techniques!)
- Although this course uses many examples from classical music, most of the information and compositional techniques learned in this course can be used by musicians of other genres.
- If you want to deepen your understanding of music, learn to write it!

El curso cumplió mis expectativas en cuanto a información, manejo de los temas y exposición de los mismos. Gracias.
Anthony Grau –
The most comprehensive and well explained course for educated beginners so far.
Be sure to know your music theory to follow easily.
Sebastián Carranza –
Before coursing the two music composition courses, I knew nothing about harmony and melody (I’m a drummer and recently I began to play the synthesizer), and I thought I wouldn’t need to know about those two subjects until I got here in 2021 where I want to compose music but without knowing how, and thanks to Mr. Peters and his courses, now I know a lot more than before and I feel capable of developing that compositional skill maybe I had had locked within me (that’s what I’m about to find out).
I greatly suggest to know how to play any harmonic instrument, specially piano or any keyboard.
Helen E Roberts –
Yes – need more education on music theory etc because my composing is still elementary and limited.
Rodney Horrell –
I have already been able to put into practice some theory into composing music from this course already.
Chiara Belfanti –
Credevo si trattasse di un corso più avanzato, e lo definirei più di armonia che di composizione, ma in generale è un buon corso per principianti che non conoscono la struttura dei brani classici… Ed è è un buon ripasso per chi vuole spolverare la base dell’analisi musicale. I sottotitoli in italiano sono generati automaticamente e sono abbastanza pessimi quindi consiglio di ascoltare solo l’audio in inglese.
Hazel Robinson –
This is a very good course – he explains and simplifies the concept of music theory. This just a refresher course for me as I have studied music theory in the past. However, it is beautifully explained and easy understood.
George –
Lectures are as equal to Professor James Bishop at Community College. Peter’s as always clear and precise in each lecture.
John R. Rudisill –
Step-wise organization of the material
