In terms of skill level, this course is designed to go step by step from the absolute basics to some rather advanced topics. Everyone from absolute beginners to talented multi-instrumentalists take this course.

In general, the more you already know about music, the faster you may be able to absorb the content.

In terms of genre, the material taught in Musical Creativity is oriented to the general principles of composition, no matter what genre. We use examples from jazz, pop, and other genres, but the general focus is on classical music. 

Musical Creativity does not currently offer materials on how to write lyrics for songs. While lyrics are a critical part of songwriting, understanding the music side of a melody is equally essential to crafting a memorable and impactful song. 

Our course is designed to teach the fundamental principles of songwriting, including melody writing, chord progressions, and harmony. Many songwriters have taken our course and reported significant improvements in their melodies and overall songwriting abilities. So, while we do not teach lyrics, we believe that our course can be an invaluable tool for any songwriter looking to improve their craft.

We do not offer refunds because of the digital nature of our course. 

We offer a monthly membership subscription that is cheaper and easily cancellable. This allows you to try out the course before committing to a full purchase.

The course does not include open forums or discussion boards. We are highly aware of the challenges that can arise in online discussions, including spamming, trolling, cyberbullying, and other inappropriate behavior.

Musical Creativity does not currently offer feedback from the instructor either. Steven has had experience teaching this material in a classroom setting, and through that experience, we try to anticipate any questions or issues our students may have. A significant portion of video time is dedicated to clear up misconceptions and get our students going on the right path. Also, our teaching approach with step-by-step guidance and building from simple to complex makes our content easy to follow.

However, if you have any questions about the course, you can contact us here.

Our course is structured around 15 concise, practical videos filled with examples, unique ideas, and helpful concepts. These videos range anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes, but average around 20 minutes.

Next, we have text blurbs that complement the videos and suggest exercises to apply the concepts taught.

Finally, we have links to supplementary material and useful resources, as well as practice tracks made by the instructor to help with topics that require them, such as improvisation.
