About
A channel to explore creative, practical, and fun music theory.
I am a theorist, composer, organist, drummer based in New York, with a Ph.D in music theory. I believe that animation and virtual orchestration software have extraordinary potential to enhance music pedagogy.
Making high quality videos is often very labor intensive, and, as a result, new uploads are not always so frequent.
Get more educational content (such as my post-tonal ear training materials, polyrhythm bundle, and tutorial on animating a score video) through the Patreon shop and help support my vision to make music theory more inspiring and accessible.
