How to quickly determine which melody notes are safe over a chord progression.https://thinkspace.ac.uk/

**FREE TUTORIAL**

****The Chord-Scale Approach****

Chord-scale theory is a hot topic, and is used extensively in the jazz world - but not only jazz. When improvising or composing, it's a simple system you can use to determine which melody notes are safe over your chords, and which may be best avoided.

In a live setting this is particularly beneficial, especially when you don't have much time to make up your mind!

In this tutorial taken from our new How To Improvise https://thinkspace.ac.uk/courses/how-to-improvise/ course, we break down what this means and how to use it. Don't get spooked - it's pretty simple once you understand how modes work.

****Guidance from working film composers****

You'll get live lectures and feedback sessions with Joshua Mosley (

**My Dad the Bounty Hunter**,

**Fortnite FNCS**,

**Encanto**), Arhynn Descy (

https://thinkspace.ac.uk/courses/film-scoring-bootcamp/#t…

****Score real films and get feedback****

We've sourced movies without the original scores from real creators to help you practice your skills in a professional setting. These will be the basis of your assignments throughout the bootcamp, with more mini tasks to complete in your own time.

https://thinkspace.ac.uk/courses/film-scoring-bootcamp/

****What you'll learn****

Start with how music works on screen and how to spot a film, then move into writing themes, navigating around dialogue and sound, and choosing a sound world for a scene. Later sessions open up to a Q&A on what the job is really like.

In between, you'll score documentary and animation clips and build a final project, with every assignment reviewed live in a dedicated feedback session.

****Am I good enough?****

If you’re unsure, you can book a chat with us. We'll listen to your music, discuss your goals, and recommend whether this is the right course for you.

How to turn a short motif into a memorable theme.https://thinkspace.ac.uk/

**FREE TUTORIAL**

****Creating A 4-Bar Melody****

A strong motif is the core of many great themes - and a surprising number of famous tunes are nothing more than a few bars of one small idea, repeated and varied.

Having heard the work of hundreds of students, we are clear about the most common fault in tune writing:

**the composer doesn't know what their central idea is**.

The worksheet below is from our new How To Write A Great Melody https://thinkspace.ac.uk/courses/how-to-write-a-great-mel… course, helping you build a strong motif into a workable theme.

A Remastered Favourite

****Classical Harmony Legacy****

Traditional 4-part harmony made accessible

We've remastered and combined our original Harmony One and Two courses - now called Classical Harmony Legacy. https://thinkspace.ac.uk/courses/classical-harmony/

Many composers learn harmony as chord symbols and block chords. Classical Harmony teaches what happens between the chords: how each voice moves and why some progressions sound finished and others don’t.

Professional composers Guy Michelmore and Rachel James take you from your first three-part perfect cadence through four-part writing, inversions, modulation and chromatic chords, to counterpoint and harmonising in the style of Bach, Mozart and Haydn.

16 units, over 15 hours of video, and every example rebuilt as an interactive score you can play and take apart voice by voice.

£79 • €99 • $109£119

**30-day money back guarantee**

****Already have one of the original courses?****

Drop us an email for an

**additional 50% off** this remastered version.

****What is a Legacy course?****

A Legacy course is one that was part of our older course catalogue, but has been refurbished due to popular demand, dropped in price, and includes some new interactivity.

The videography is dated when compared to our newer courses, but the information is timeless and of real benefit to modern musicians and composers.

https://thinkspace.ac.uk/courses/how-to-write-a-great-mel…

****So what's new?****

****Interactive scores****

Bringing these courses into our up-to-date online campus allowed us to take the hundreds of static images and audio examples and convert them to interactive score widgets in your course. You can follow along the score in real-time and toggle voices on and off to hear parts in isolation.

****Ear training****

Test your ear against our interval, chord, and rhythm quizzes. This is something the original courses missed, and we feel it's crucial to developing a strong musical ear.

https://thinkspace.ac.uk/courses/classical-harmony/

****What you'll learn****

By the end of this course you will be able to:

* Write sophisticated four-part harmony, voice by voice, for smoother arranging.

* Spot and fix parallel fifths, awkward jumps and poor doublings, and understand why the "rules" exist.

* Recognise and use every cadence - perfect, imperfect, plagal and interrupted.

* Add colour with passing notes, suspensions, pedals, and extensions.

* Modulate confidently to related keys using pivot chords and secondary dominants.

* Learn from the masters, analysing chorales, quartets, canons, and fugues by Bach, Mozart, and Haydn.
