Learn the classic blockbuster sound of chords with more than one tonic. Understand how these dissonant but tonally-based harmonies are used in action scenes for several purposes: scoring long passages over a single chord, emphasizing key moments in the narrative, and expressing common associations. Also learn how a large number of action chords are built from a consistent set of notes called “action extensions”.

The course comes with a comprehensive set of exercises to let you build these chords and use them in a described scene. You can also get feedback directly from the instructor by posting your answers in the site forums.
