Pop Theory in Practice: Teaching the Building Blocks of Modern Hits

Wednesday July 15, 2026 12:00pm - 12:45pm CEST

Liceo Ovidio - Room 2

Music theory was originally developed to describe and explain the Euroclassical repertoire. While its foundations remain essential, relying on traditional theory alone to teach contemporary commercial songwriting and production is a bit like giving students an old map to navigate a city that has transformed. Drawing on systematic analysis of today’s chart-topping songs, this session introduces frameworks that expand traditional theory to include the elements, patterns, and conventions that define today’s commercial music landscape.

Wednesday July 15, 2026 12:00pm - 12:45pm CEST
Liceo Ovidio - Room 2 PIAZZA XX SETTEMBRE 13, 67039 SULMONA (AQ)
