Overview

Understand music at its core.

Most music theory programs are taught by teachers — not professionals. At DAASS, we do things differently.

This masterclass is led by Marty Laskin, one of the most respected music theory educators, and directed by Mendy Hershkowitz, a world-renowned arranger, bandleader, and producer. Together, they teach you to understand music at its core.

You won't just memorize scales and intervals. You'll train your ear, understand how notes relate, and learn how to hear — and create — music with depth, clarity, and emotion.
