Seventh Chords
Seventh Chords are the most commonly used chords in music. They are built from 4 notes which include the root, the third, the fifth and the seventh. They give the essence of each chord, combing structure and flavor. Most modern music exists upon the seventh chord structure. Our Seventh Chords course is going to give you the insight and knowledge to confidently understand, build and apply seventh chords on your instrument and in your music creation.
This course has 10 videos - over 2.5 hours of instruction and a comprehensive workbook to develop both your playing and writing. LEARN MORE!
Tensions
Tensions stand for ‘extensions’ because they extend previously existing chords, like seventh chords. Tensions expand chord structure from 4 note structures to up to 7 note structures. They provide color, flavor, and emotion. Tensions provide a richer, more lush experience for the listener. They add a layer of fun, depth and creativity for the musician. Because of their existence, the music is more dynamic, unique and just plain better. They are essential tools for any musician who wants to develop composition and improvisation.

“The Chord World Bundle from Royal Composer is extremely practical in its approach! Coming from a master multi-instrumentalist & composer, it covers all the fundamental elements of modern harmony as well as flavorful tensions that will give your music a unique flair. Very clear instruction, great production with multiple cameras, step by step approach and a fantastic workbook full of very practical exercises make this course really valuable. I love the mental shortcuts that Piotr shares regarding how to build your chords and tensions almost on the fly. This course teaches you to form a very clear idea of the chord in your head before you play it on your instrument. Highly recommended!

“Piotrek’s course on Tensions was extremely clear, helpful, and fun and I’d recommend it for students of any ability level. The modules are organized in a logical progression, and Piotrek delivers the material in a compelling and understandable way, emphasizing the sounds of the tensions along with their theoretical underpinnings. It’s clear that Piotrek has a deep passion and mastery for this music which comes across in these fun and engaging lessons. I’ve been playing music for twenty years, and found new ways of hearing and thinking about these concepts in this course. Highly recommended!”
“Composer and performer Piotr Kowalczyk has created a very effective and well-paced course solely dedicated to the tensions (scale degrees 9, 11, and 13.) This topic can be intimidating but Piotr’s calming and encouraging attitude (and voice) gives you the support that you need. Be ready to work, but also to discover a new world of sounds and ideas. Piotr will show you how to play them, how to write them, and how to make music with them!
