Join Ethan Hein’s Chords & Harmony Writing Lab to Make More Emotive Music

We’re launching a brand new learning experience. Join a small group of other musicians and the prominent educator Dr. Ethan Hein in exploring the ins-and-outs of chords and how the harmonic choices you make can elevate your music. 

This Chords & Harmony Writing Lab will last one month, with weekly workshops, daily discussions, creative challenges, feedback, support, and much more.

If you’re a music maker who feels there are gaps in your theory knowledge, then this experience is for you. 

Learn theory. Analyze popular songs. Make tracks. Get feedback. Level up your music.

Harmony imbues music with feeling and emotion. In this one month intensive led by educator and prominent music blogger Ethan Hein, we’ll be unwrapping the core elements of chords and harmony — from the functional to the fantastic — and how to use them in modern music.

Imagine your dream graduate seminar, with weekly challenges, engaged peers, and hands-on instruction from a highly accomplished instructor. We’ll nerd out on harmonies and chord changes that can take your breathe away, and practice putting those lessons into action.
