4 More Reasons Why Building Blocks Is So Effective…
1. Music Theory For 2024
With Building Blocks, we’ve thrown out the traditional music theory rule book and created a new interactive approach that’s tailored to the needs of software-based musicians.
Traditional music theory takes place in the centuries-old music staff and is loaded with information that doesn’t always apply to a DAW environment. So Building Blocks takes a streamlined need-to-know approach, removing the music staff and replacing it with the Piano Roll.
Learning music theory in the Piano Roll is crucial for DAW-based musicians. The Piano Roll is a note-editing interface found in today’s most popular DAWs. So you’ll be learning in an environment that you can actually use to create music in your every-day music-making process.
Learn more about Building Blocks’ unique approach to teaching music theory.
2. Based on Ear Training
Unlike other music production courses, Building Blocks is more than just a series of videos. In almost every lesson, you’ll encounter an interactive ear training challenge that takes place in our online music production studio.
You’ll recreate hidden drum patterns, basslines, chord progressions, and melodies by ear. Every time you place a note correctly, your ear will get a little bit stronger. And eventually, you’ll be able to start creating the music you hear and feel.
3. Create Original Music While You Learn
Throughout this online music composition course, you’ll be writing your own original music in our online music production studio. Every few lessons, you’ll be prompted to take what you’ve learned and write a drum pattern, bassline, chord progression, or melody. Sometimes you’ll be asked to write them together, or create a full beat from scratch.
By the end of Building Blocks, you’ll have plenty of original music to jump-start new songs. And our MIDI Export feature will make it easier for you to transfer your music from Building Blocks to your DAW-of-choice.
4. Runs In Your Browser
Running Building Blocks is as easy as opening a browser tab. No need to download and install software, begin composing music instantly from any computer with internet access.
Always access the latest version of the course: we are continuously improving the software, and the upgrades are rolled out seamlessly without your intervention.
‘Building Blocks is really helping me to understand better music theory, specially training my ear to understand the music better. I never saw a course so well planned as this.‘

“I played music when I was younger but I never understood much about theory. After trying a few different theory courses as an adult, Building Blocks is the first one to explain theory in an intuitive way with plenty of practice to make it second nature.”
“I love Building Blocks 1. After the Logic Pro 10.5 update, the step sequencer and BB1’s UI looks similar, which makes it easy for me to sequence beats in the Step sequencer of my DAW. Thank you, Audible Genius for including the lifetime purchase bundle… ”
“This is possibly the most engaging and fun way to learn music theory that I have been able to find on the internet. I have been struggling with ADHD since I was a teenager and I can confidently say that this program caters exactly to my learning style. I am currently a trial but I will definitely be buying this AND syntorial together as I believe they will be invaluable for my career as an amateur beatmaker.”
