No fluff, practical courses to maximize your musical ability


After seeing his fiends invest in music degrees and online courses without actually getting better or learning the things that actually separate the joes from the pros, Clark's made his non-negotiable elements of music into 7 courses. Clark brings a new take on instruction. He's made a career in actually doing the thing, not teaching the thing. Check out each course below and see what jumps out at you. Time to stop dreaming about singing runs, belting effortlessly or unlocking beautiful chord progressions. Let's get to work,

Vocal Foundations

Are you optimizing the voice you have? Make sure you are by learning the right way to warm up, developing the tone you want and being aware of how you might be sabotaging your voice right before you sing.

Modern Music Theory I: Basic Scales and Chord Structure

Music Theory the way you wish it were taught in school. We start with what makes a chord, how to identify ANY chord imaginable, and the number system. This is for musicians and singers who want to understand music theory and how it's applied in today's world of music. My next course, Modern Music Theory II (Fancy Chords), focuses on voicings (how to make chords sound cool), substitution chords to manipulate the vibe and emotion of a song, and passing chords to add sauce and/or lead the listener to your next moment. Pre Requisite Knowledge: Absolutely nothing Gear needed: Keyboard highly suggested but not absolutely necessary
