What Our Students Say

Truly great course! Just like the name of the course suggests, it really opens up your horizon and expands understanding of harmony.

Having taken other courses on Evenant (and that’s the only place where I learnt how to write music) I was able to write my first feature film score. But I still constantly felt like I was confined to one key. (Yes, writing in D in satisfying… but!) Every time I would dare to use a borrowed chord, I wouldn’t be sure if I did it right. The methods of this course have been really liberating and gave me lots of confidence! Arn shares very clear ideas and exercises on how to change keys, modulate, how and when to use borrowed chords – everything I wanted to know when I signed up!


Writing music is so much more exciting and versatile with the harmonic tools that Arn demonstrates.

They have one of those “Whoa!” effects when you do your homework and play around. I, and I bet other student too, caught myself thinking: “I didn’t know I could write music like this!” Undoubtedly very well structured, like all the other courses. But I would say that this course is even more entertaining than the others. Arn seems to really care that the learning process is enjoyable and fun. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to push beyond the boundaries of diatonic harmony!

I have always wanted to learn how to harmonise my work in different or at least more than just using the diatonic chords, I felt like knowing what I know (while this isnt a bad thing) wasn’t hitting certain emotions the way I wanted to convey.

Having gone through the Harmonic Exploration Roadmap course by Arn really helped open my eyes to what possibilities are out there. With the depth that he has gone into with this course, it has armed me with a different thought process of how I want to tackle harmony. I look forward to practicing and utilising this knowledge in my future work.
