Our Verdict
Song Science #1 offers a practical and well-presented introduction to basic songwriting theory. The course is easy to navigate and filled with engaging material to inspire new chord progression ideas, but may require students to use additional resources to learn about non-diatonic applications. Nevertheless, its solid base in music fundamentals supports students in their journey toward understanding professional songwriters' techniques.
