Some Awesome Learning Resources for Beginners (Patreon)

With a few weeks of lessons under the bridge, one of the most exciting things I've found is talking to people who really don't have a ton of theory under their belt. Theory isn't everything, but a basic understanding of scales, intervals, and chords goes a LONG way in being able to identify song structure and melody.

I've been sending people over to  http://www.piano-keyboard-guide.com/key-of-c-minor.html to get a sense of the basic C-Minor scale and some chords related to it.

For an intro to Ableton, there's  https://learningmusic.ableton.com/ 

Today in the Discord someone posted a link to Omni ( https://femurdesign.com/omni/ ) which I think is an absolutely wonderful way to play around with scales and get a sense of how they *sound*. A lot of these scales are more exotic than what you might compose in, but there are normal scales in there too.

Getting a sense of how notes relate to each other (intervals) in a particular key and scale are great tools for making music. Hope these links help!
