FaderPro presents....“Music, No Theory” with Bill Gordon

“Music, No Theory” is a course that focuses on the foundations of music. Where do melodies, chords and bass lines come from, and how are they used to make hit songs? “Music, No Theory” is an interactive music-making course for musicians, songwriters, remixers and producers at any level.

“Music, No Theory” teaches you the skills you need to break down any song into its fundamentals, and how to use that knowledge to create your own original music in any genre or style! Throughout the course, we start by examining simple songs, gradually making them more advanced. Watch and learn from the legendary pianist and composer Bill Gordon as he breaks down each song showing you every note along the way.

“Music No Theory” is practical and immediately useful, presented without the tired dreariness of most music “theory” courses. Learn music with you ears, hands and heart - without reading music! After taking this course, you’ll understand the musical elements that separate the great songs from the rest, and how to apply those insights to your own music.

About Bill Gordon: From working with such artists as James Brown, Barbra Streisand, Quincy Jones and Madonna in concert halls and recording studios around the world, to the classrooms of the largest audio school, SAE Institute, Bill Gordon has made music his career and a way of life. His passionate, down-to-earth explanations will help you take your music to an entirely new level. Nothing theoretical about it!
