You got here because you're looking for a course that's going to be a fundamental game changer in your efforts to learn music theory in a meaningful and applicable way.
You're tired of groping around in the dark searching for that wonderful sound in your head and feeling in your heart. You've decided you need to truthfully "know what you're doing" to find it, so you've been looking to music theory.
​
So far, however, learning music theory has been taught to you in terms of convention, recitation, and memorization. All highly complex and systematic.
​
Still, you're inspired and determined enough to have learned some of it already.
​
The basics of spelling Major, minor, and Dominant 7 chords. A bit about scales, modes, and key signatures. At least a start on how to read sheet music.
​
Even just with these very basic concepts, I say you've got more than enough good information to work with already. And you can probably tell at this point that packing in more theory is going to be more of a burden than a help to you.
The overwhelming mountain of music theory is literally pointless to try to climb without both mental understanding and ability to apply in playing.
​
However methods on how to apply your current learning meaningfully, let alone creatively, are turning up scarce.
​
Thankfully, you found me.
​
Hi, I'm Troll Hart 💚 A life-long progressive musician teaching musical freedom through an approach to harmony that lies beneath and beyond traditional styles.​​​​​​
If I have already helped you in transforming your relationship to music theory from one of expectation and restriction, to one of freedom and discovery,
​
simply through 2 to 3 minute snippets on Instagram,
​
imagine if you had a full 20 minutes from me that you could pause and rewind as many times as you need.
​
Care-full step-by-step instruction provided. Overhead piano cam provided. Review of basic concepts provided. Chord symbols provided. Sheet music provided.
​
Then you could really get your study on for a qualitative transformation to your playing, writing, and understanding of harmony, before or even just without having to learn more pedantic information about the conventions of classical music and jazz.
​
The full 20 minutes I'm talking about is actually a course of full-length lesson videos I've been making called​​
I'm creating this course specifically to give you what you need to gain creative freedom and fundamental understanding in your musical practice.
​
I am primarily a pianist, however check out what Austin, a guitarist, has to say about the Halls of Harmony lessons:
Even Amanda, a flautist, has been getting a lot out of the course:
Troll Hart's Halls of Harmony is currently 4 lessons deep, with a new lesson coming out every other month.
​
As Amanda said, these lessons are packed full of deep practice material, so you'll be sure to be kept valuably busy between lesson releases.
​
What's more is that as a Halls of Harmony Keyholder, you'll have access to my inbox to not only get your questions on the lessons answered, but to make suggestions on future lessons that I will consider seriously and value highly.​
The minimum requisites you will need to receive the full value of Troll Hart's Halls of Harmony are only:
​
🔑A rudimentary ability to play your instrument
🔑Knowledge of naming the notes A B C D E F G sharp and flat
🔑Any prior experience with 7 note scales ("The Major Scale", "the minor scale", etc.)
🔑A basic ability to read sheet music
🔑A basic ability to read chord symbols
However even if you are far beyond these basics, Troll Hart's Halls of Harmony is also specifically for advanced musicians like you.
Lydia, a music student of many years and schools working to deepen her creative potential, has the following to say about Halls of Harmony lesson 1 - Melody our Guide:
​The existing 4 lessons, if practiced and studied thoroughly, will dis-cover for you wells of creative exploration that you can draw deeply from for months if not longer.
​
Even 1 of these lessons ought to keep you busy for a couple months if you're really going for the depths.
​
As I can see it from here, the course will wind up totaling around 15 lessons.
​
The growing course is available exclusively to Halls of Harmony Keyholders at my Patreon.
​
Halls of Harmony Keyholder membership is currently $30/month.
As a musician, you know that creative freedom on your instrument is in fact priceless.
Once the course has been completed, I will charge for it the value of the results that it produces.
​
Far, far more than $30.
​
Once the course has been completed, I will give it in its entirety to anyone who is a Keyholder at the time of its completion.
So whether you're a beginner looking to learn music theory and harmony in a fresh and un-complicated way that is conducive to creativity,
whether you want to actually understand the workings beneath the classical pieces you've been reciting, gaining the ability to mold and play with them on your own creative terms,
​
or whether you want to subvert the entirety of western theory to play totally wild and free, yet with full knowledge, meaning, and intention behind your new style,
​
a fundamental conception of the Chromatic Scale is what we need. In other words, an understanding of intervals as they exist as notes on the piano, removed from stylistic conventions.
...this is our entire theory. From here we can gain real understanding through applying this fundamental theory to concepts such as Major/minor, modes, melody, harmonic movement, chord structure, etc.
​
All toward the goal of making you capable of improvising, composing, listening, and playing by your own ear and your own creative mind.

Your creative musical freedom awaits.
