As an educator and musician I’m always working on developing and honing my own skills. This has me on a search for better and better teachers as I learn and grow. I’m excited to share that I’m bringing one of my very own teachers to the table to share his wisdom and expertise with you. I’m thrilled to introduce Ray Harmony, who’ll be teaching our newest course, Music Hacking for Electronic Musicians!
For the past year, I’ve been blessed to be working with Ray on Music theory and composition. Even though I’ve been a musician my whole life, the impact that working with Ray has had on my music, and my understanding of music, has been “nothing short of unreal”.
Music theory is the language of music, and if you’re making music, you’re using music theory. Music Hacking for Electronic Musicians is for everyone from complete beginners to professional producers who make music by ear and want to learn how to use the power of music theory to elevate their songwriting. This course will inspire and empower you to confidently create faultless songs on a watertight foundation of music theory.
“Ray has a totally unique approach to hack music theory and give you the essentials in a fraction of the time.” – Vespers

IMPORTANT: Music Hacking for Electronic Musicians was a 100% live-streamed, online, interactive course that happened over 4 weeks in July of 2016. Over the course of these 4 weeks Ray taught 4 different modules on chords, bass, vocals, and songs, with dedicated question & answer periods. Each week we recorded the webinar, as many of our students who could not attend the live webinar schedule still wanted to participate. As such, many students still find great value from registering and watching the recordings! For those of you wanting to let the information sink in deep we give you lifetime access to the recordings so you can watch them as many times as you like!

Over the course of 4 modules, Ray reveals the secrets behind his composing process, from start to finish of a song.

Ray Harmony has dedicated his life to using the power of music to inspire positive change in the world, which he does through Revolution Harmony. Ray is a British African based in Canada, and an award-winning music lecturer, composer, performer, producer, and journalist. He has been studying music for over 30 years, and teaching it for over 20.
Ray’s first No.1 single was back in 1996 in his birth country of South Africa, and during the last few years in Canada he’s been making music with multiplatinum Grammy-winning artists (Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine, Serj Tankian of System of a Down, Kool Keith of Ultramagnetic MCs, Madchild of Swollen Members, and many more), then donating all the proceeds to charities. Between his time in South Africa and Canada, Ray immigrated to England where he spent a decade lecturing music theory and composition at EHWLC in London, one of Britain’s largest colleges. He was the course director and lead internal verifier for the music department, and was honoured to win the college’s prestigious Vocational Qualification Hero and Learner First awards.
Ray’s education is a unique blend of ‘classical’ from the UK’s Royal Schools of Music (piano, guitar, and theory, all to the highest grade) and ‘contemporary’ from the USA’s Musicians Institute in Los Angeles, where he graduated from their guitar program. He also studied education and did his teaching qualification at EHWLC.
Ray has been writing for various music publications (Kerrang!, etc.) every month since 2009, and he used to be the editor of a guitar magazine as well, until he once again moved countries. He ran a couple of record labels, too, but nowadays he spends all his time making music, teaching music, and writing about music.
In my musical journey I am now able to divide my music into two clear categories: stuff I wrote before working with Ray, and stuff I wrote after.
Ray and I have been working tirelessly in the studio and today we are excited to share a preview of our newest collaboration ‘Create/Generate (feat. Kate Harmony)’, and is a free sneak peek of what will be the featured song in Music Hacking with Electronic Musicians!

Amazing course that breaks down music theory for any electronic musician! Ray’s hacks make learning theory so easy! I am so grateful for the opportunity to learn Ray’s shortcuts!

This course is life changing, revolutionary! I’ve struggled for years to make sense of music theory even after studying it in college. Ray and Vesper simplify it in such an amazing way. And they make it so relevant to modern music with this course!!! Would recommend to beginners or even veterans!!

This Program is great for anyone wanting to learn theory without all the nonsense. This is one of the best theory courses i have seen yet. I would highly recommend everyone check it out. Ray has come up with the best new method to learning music

After years of trying to understand the pieces missing in my productions, I found this course ! Ray and his method stripped back everything to its emotion when explaining music theory. His deep knowledge, genuine love of sharing,connecting and expansiveness can’t help but excite you as a student . Altered everything for me and I go forth as a Soldier of Counterpoint :)
Cheers Ray and Vespers,you make a great team.

I have been reading my music theory for dummies book for years, this music hacking series explains music theory within the first 8 hours. I wish I had access to these videos years ago. Thank you Ray and Vespers :)

This course simply explained music theory, which had seemed to be so complicated, until now. So much great information, and I’m already hearing the improvements in my music. If you’ve been wanting to learn music theory, but have been too intimidated, then this is the magic solution. I am so grateful to Ray and Vespers for all my new knowledge!!!

In person this would be a $1000 workshop. If your at all struggling with music theory and composing songs this course will up your game. It’s a lot of info, over 12 hours, so you will have to do the work of fully absorbing the info and then putting it to use. My knowledge of music theory was probably beginning/ intermediate, but this course covers even the very basics!

I didn’t realize how little I understood about music theory until I took this class. I feel like I learned a new language.
lucasmmorais (verified owner) –
Overall very informative. Learned several new ways to approach music theory and truly has elevated my music production quality. Recommend!

Music theory and composition are often avoided by electronic musicians due to how dry the subject seems, hence our over reliance on arpeggiated jams. Yes those tracks can sound great and are a lot of fun to make but when you consider just how many of them are being pumped out on a daily basis and how structurally similar they are to each other, then you have to admit that there’s not much future in it. The world needs more from it’s artists, a bigger commitment. Writing songs isn’t easy and is made less so by the opaqueness of most old fashioned music theory texts. Ray and Vespers give us a series of hacks that blow open the doors of understanding and show that, with a little application, anyone can tell the musical story they really want to.

The first song I wrote after taking this course is leaps and bounds ahead of my previous work. The concepts and the way they are delivered in this course are so helpful and easy to remember. I can talk way more intelligently now about how I compose music and always have a direct purpose in what I’m doing. I highly recommend this to anyone even if you are an experienced musician. Thanks Ray and Vespers!

One hour and thirty minutes into the first Module, already blown away! This is exactly what I have been searching for. The Holy Grail of Music Hacking!

GAME CHANGER!!!

totally eye-opening! it’s like a window to a whole new world. I think if there’s one thing everyone should absolutely do in life, it would be this course. it’s liberating to understand why some things work together while others don’t. I’m eager to move beyond playing by ear and playing it safe with pentatonic scales. itching to write new music :-) you guys are my heroes!
