Hi, my name is Christian Pabst.
I'm a pianist and a film composer
and I'm teaching really for long time pop theory here at the pop department of the conservatory of Amsterdam.
I'm very delighted to present this course to you because contrary to the common misconception
that theory is a dry and boring subject
for me it has always been a very creative fun and
always been an inspiration for my own music.
The course is very well structured, it contains several lessons with analysis of music and a lot of examples.
"Try to see the root notes with me."
But also they're going to be lots of assignments that you can do at the end of each lesson
in order to apply the material to your own songs.
In general the course will cover a wide range of
topics.
In the first lesson you will learn the most important theoretical tools that you need in order to analyze music
and then very quickly we will go further and look at more interesting concepts of harmony
that can spice up your composition such as modal interchange, modulations or voice leading.
All the content of this course is taken 
straight from the classroom
and all the assignment and exercises are exactly those that I teach to my students on a weekly basis
here at the conservatory of Amsterdam.
I'm very thrilled about the opportunity to give 
this online course
because I think it's an fantastic opportunity to share this knowledge with so many students all around the world.
