Welcome to the MUSIC THEORY FOR ELECTRONIC MUSIC COMPLETE Guide!
This course is a combination of all three of my Music Theory for Electronic Musicians classes: Music Theory for Electronic Musicians, and Music Theory for Electronic Musicians 2, and Music Theory for Electronic Musicians 3.
In this class, we learn how to work with the piano roll editor in a DAW to make harmonies, melodies, and whole tracks, and then we expand on those ideas and work with harmonic patterns (harmony) that is richer than just major and minor.
Production Techniques Through Theory The most important part of this class is an extensive foray into using these techniques in actual tracks. I’ll be creating 9 tracks through this class, right along with you, each using a different technique so you can see exactly how I incorporate it right into my music.
Full Sessions After each production project, I’ll give you the whole session of what I made using the techniques for you to play with. You can download it, expand on it, re-work it, and even release it as your work.
If Your Music is Missing Something, This is Probably It. If you are finding that you are writing track after track, and while they sound good, there is something they are missing – then this it. You are missing the sense of harmony that professional producers have. In this class, I’ll arm you with all the tools you need to produce those tracks just like you imagine them.
Who should take this course?
Anyone interested in producing their own music. This will get you up and running and give your tracks a unique sound in no time.
Structure
This course consists of video lectures, which all contain a session in Ableton Live 9. If you are using a different program (or none at all), no worries! This isn’t a class on how to use Ableton Live, and the concepts can be applied to any DAW.
Some of the step-by-step guides in this course will be:
-
Finding notes, chords, and keys in your audio program
-
The 7 intervals and how to put them together
-
The steps to finding the key of your track (or any track!)
-
The most common chord progressions
-
The steps to using inversions to take your track from good to amazing.
-
The 4 types of 7th chords
-
The top techniques for writing a melody to fit a chord progression (and vice-versa!)
-
The 7 modes and their uses
-
19 Exotic scales and how to use them (include MIDI files!)
The course is a roadmap to finding the missing piece in your tracks, or just getting started making great tracks.
All the tools you need to make, produce, and start your music career are included in this course, and the entire course is based on real-life experiences – not just academic theory.

Lyndon Allen –
Very good course, content is great, presenter is clear and concise. I learnt allot and it has helped improve my production greatly. Thank you!
Diego Molina –
Not only electronic music but just music, using EDM songs as examples and a piano roll on Ableton instead of a music sheet. This course really condensates a big amount of music knowledge in easy to digest parts. The teacher read my mind many times during this course and explained doubts I had, just seconds later after they formed in my mind. Very impressive. Now I know what is available to create music and how to go from an idea to a full track (actually made my first one using the free BBC Symphony Orchestra VST, which has nothing to do with EDM). I’m still amazed at how easy all of this is. I checked Wikipedia and was able to decode all the information on specific topics which was beyond my comprehension just a few weeks ago. A door has opened for me.
Raisa Meutia –
This course had taught me so much! i like how the instructor explain things slowly and clearly, he emphasized the key point which helps me to grasp the material. really recommended!

So glad I took this course …Jason is amazing teacher…the way he raises a question and answers it at critical moments during lessons is amazing…reinforced my music theory and sparked my interest in ableton live…good job Jason
Matthew –
Jason is an excellent teacher, every time I was a bit confused there was always a small section added to the end of a video to clarify what he meant or something he missed, It really does feel like he understands how to teach music quite extensively.
Fluke Conde –
Well this course let me started in producing and understand better music in general. Thanks to Dr Allen, he really explains everything easy and simple. Points you in the right direction to continue experiment with sounds.
Oda Nobunaga –
As good and very detail so far.I’ve take many notes .Thanks
mug quinn –
Great course ! Learning along with it in a DAW and making songs made the learning feel a lot more concrete. Especially practicing outside of the course.
Rick –
This course delivered on what it said it would. I will purchase the part 4, 5, 6 bundle whenever it is released. I saw that 4 and 5 are out, but I would rather have them as a bundle.
