Hooktheory

Created by Dave Carlton, Chris Anderson, and Ryan Miyakawa, Hooktheory dispenses with traditional sheet music in favor of intuitive, color-coded piano rolls and Roman numeral analysis. Spanning Hooktheory I and II, the interactive courses teach functional harmony, voice leading, inversions, and modal mixture using hundreds of real pop and rock song examples with synchronized audio playback. Ear players immediately grasp why tension builds and resolves because they see and hear harmonic relationships simultaneously. No prerequisites or note-reading skills are needed, making it one of the quickest ways for intuitive songwriters to gain command of harmonic choices.
