Another mind expanding densely packed gem

It is truly incredible the breadth and depth of these explorations. The examples are so insightful in helping me understand how great compositions work and to inspire my own original pieces. I’m so inspired by Roberts teaching. after years of struggling to understand these building blocks of music the veil is lifting and the fog is clearing. I’m so grateful. This course and the other one I did have changed me fundamentally as a composer. I highly urge anyone with a foundational knowledge of music to try one of Roberts courses on fiSound. This course has clearly been constructed with great care and attention to detail, the concepts are introduced and developed in a logical and methodical way. Robert doesn’t mince or waste his words and again there isnt a pick of fat on these teachings. If you’re serious about composing you can’t go wrong with his courses.

if you are someone who wants to always become a better musician, then you'll see that every course by Robert Davis is very useful. Packed with the hard earned experience of a real and practical musician and composer, and a talented one too, rather than contemporary courses taught by people who write little or no music. Or, when they do write it, it sounds weak and super cheesy. Not in these courses. And they are cost effective, too. One of the things I really like is that the tutor explains a lot of harmony with simple block chords, at the keyboard. This way, if you read music decently, you can learn a lot, very quickly. Also very useful to see how he improvises, and generally, how he works. A no brainer.
