01 · The Complete Basics

Learn the 12 notes. Then see how scales, chords, progressions, melodies and harmonies work together in F minor.

02 · How Scales Work

Build major and minor scales. Learn intervals, root notes, harmonic minor, tension notes and how to move a scale to another key.

03 · Chords

Build major and minor chords. See which chords fit a scale, then use inversions and voicing to change the sound.

04 · Chord Progressions

Learn how chord order creates movement, tension and release. Make progressions more interesting than one chord per bar.

05 · Writing Better Melodies

Use chord notes, passing notes, short ideas, rhythm and call-and-response. Write emotional and aggressive melodies.

06 · Harmony & Countermelodies

Add thirds, fifths and octaves without clashes. Learn when a harmony or second melody helps—and when it does not.

07 · Basslines & Root-Note Movement

Make your bass follow the chords. Use root changes, passing notes and held notes with hard-dance kicks.

08 · Rhythm & Groove

Learn how note length, space, offbeats and syncopation change the groove, even when the notes stay the same.

09 · Tension, Release & Emotion

Use tension, delayed notes, repetition and release to control the feeling and energy of your music.

10 · Using Theory in a Full Track

Bring chords, melodies, harmony, bass and rhythm together in one complete hard-dance track.

11 · Breaking Music Theory

Use notes outside the scale, chromatic movement and dissonance. Break the rules on purpose.

Steven Tel

I built this for producers like you. Examples use hardstyle, rawstyle, uptempo and hardcore — the music I make and teach. No sheet music. Just notes that work in the piano roll.
