Life Changing. Inspiring. Best Music Course I've Ever Done

I've been doing Roberts Chromatic Harmony Course religiously for that last year today I am a different musician. 100X better composer, i"m starting to wander around the musical keys and sometimes I surprise myself and burst out laughing at how cool the thing I just did was...Its like I'm channelling music all of a sudden, it’s spiritual. I've never had this with music before, despite years of trying and following other courses. This one was the key for me. It feels like magic. Its all thanks to Robert. Hands down best music teacher ever.

What he did with my ears/brain regarding chromatic harmony is a miracle of sorts. So many concepts I never got nor could even identify despite years of trying, searching, wondering, asking people and just banging my head off a wall just came together because of this course. It is logically structured, well thought out, full of examples, well paced and without a pick of fat. Robert tells us students what he/we need to do to get this stuff (play in all keys, write things out etc) without labouring his points. The examples are inspiring and absolutely delightful to play and transpose and use bits of in my own compositions.

He just did a brilliant job on it and there is no one else teaching chromatic harmony on youtube . Its not aimed at popular music but I’ve found its insights to be the key to the more avant guard (for want of a better word) popular music artists that I'm into like David Bowie, The Beatles, Beach Boys, etc. and its helped me immensely to write my own pieces with those sort of sophisticated moves and to see behind the curtain on what those masters were thinking...Anyway this course is brilliant , I’ve never in my life been so changed by a course of study. If you are willing to put the work in it will make you a much better composer and see/hear all sorts of possibilities you would never get near without it. I am proof. A genius teacher, a peerless teacher. Utterly brilliant! Buy this course, roll up your sleeves, crack your knuckles get the head down daily for months and watch what happens! 10/10

Hard-to-find advanced music theory

I feel like I found a gold mine when I found the Basic Chromatic Harmony class. I understood secondary dominants, but I had no idea how many more techniques could introduce some chromatic interest into a chord progression. The chord progression examples can be used, modified, orchestrated, or elaborated on. I thoroughly enjoyed this class.

Clear and concise course

I think the course is great. Has clear and step by step examples. I would love the see a way to easily transpose the examples. Personally I'm not yet at the stage that I have consolidated my fundamentals so a course on this and how to approach this learning curve would be nice:-)
