Music as a Language (Ep. 27)


Listen Later

Join Marc and Nathan in this engaging masterclass that explores music as a language. They dive into why music isn’t just a formula of notes and theory but a dynamic way of communicating and connecting with others.

Topics Covered:

  • Music as a Language: Music communicates emotions in a way that’s both abstract and universal, much like spoken language but without words.
  • Beyond Theory: Learning music shouldn’t be only about notes and scales. They discuss how focusing only on theory can limit true expression.
  • Practical Tips: Techniques for integrating musical “grammar” naturally, such as dynamics, rhythm, and phrasing.
  • The Importance of Jamming: Playing with others—even beginners with experts—enhances real musical understanding.
  • Moving Past “Just Scales and Licks”: Why it’s essential to build musical phrases instead of memorizing scales or licks.
  • Why Listen? This masterclass is ideal for anyone looking to deepen their connection to music and break free from over-relying on theory.
