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.

What We Liked

  • Clear and concise approach to songwriting theory, making it easy to grasp the fundamentals
  • Incorporates real-life examples from hit songs like Taylor Swift’s, making concepts relatable
  • Well-organized course structure and easy-to-follow format facilitate understanding
  • Covers various chord progressions using the diatonic chords 1-6, providing a strong base for songwriters

Potential Drawbacks

  • Some users wish for more practical application within the lessons themselves
  • Occasional gaps in instruction, particularly around non-diatonic chord progressions
  • Lack of explicit identification of key signatures throughout some examples leaves room for ambiguity
