"How do I become a prolific producer?"

"How do I finish my songs?"

"How do I stay musically inspired?"

In the last three years alone, I've taught over 300 music producers and every single one of them asked me one of these three questions. Chances are, if you read this newsletter, then you're looking for the answer to one of these questions as well.

The answer to all of these questions is the same: you have to know music theory.

Producers who are prolific songwriters know why their music works. They know how to transform a single musical idea into a full song without guessing. These are required fundamental skills.

In my 1:1 coaching, I've helped every producer I've worked with develop these fundamental skills. Now, I've taken the same lessons, exercises, and workflow that I've taught my private students and I'm offering them to you.

It's time to become the prolific and inspired producer that you know you can be.

Introducing Step-By-Step Songwriting: Music Theory for Producers

Step-by-Step Songwriting: Music Theory for Producers is a six week course that teaches you the fundamentals of music theory from a producer's perspective. Every concept is explained in the DAW using the piano roll, with weekly songwriting exercises to help you practice what you're learning.

At the end of this course, you will learn the fundamentals of music theory starting with rhythm and finishing with arranging. By completing the songwriting exercises, you'll create a brand new song using the skills you learn in this course.

A structured method for learning music theory through songwriting

This course uses what I call the LAP Method—Learn, Apply, Practice—as a guided approach to understanding the musical relationships that make songwriting effortless. You’ll:

• Learn the essentials of rhythm, melody, harmony, and song structure.

• Apply what you learn directly in your DAW, through hands-on exercises with the piano roll.

• Practice by writing your own song, building on each concept week by week.

A new song and a new understanding of music theory

Over six weeks, you’ll learn to create drum grooves, build chord progressions, and craft melodies—without feeling like you’re drowning in technical details. By the end, you’ll have a finished song and a solid grasp of music theory that feels second nature.

Here’s what you can expect:

• Week-by-week lessons and assignments that let you grow at your own pace.

• Lifetime access so you can revisit the content anytime.

• Direct feedback and community support if you opt for the premium version, so you never feel alone on your journey.

Enrollment will be open for only one week before the course launches on November 18th. Sign up for the waitlist today so you don't miss your chance because enrollment won't open again for at least a year.
