Ranging from fully-orchestrated electronic and traditional instrument performances to subtle, elegant solo guitar arrangements, the WARRENMUSIC YouTube channel has been my creative teaching outlet for over 15 years and counting.
What started as a simple dare from a friend with a camera has evolved into a platform that has inspired countless guitar players, live acts, and bedroom music producers. It’s enabled me to connect with students and fellow music nerds around the world.
I have been featured in several publications, including Vox, Consequence of Sound, and OK Podcast for my work on YouTube.

The WARRENMUSIC Series is a video series about the fundamentals of musicianship, analysis, songwriting, and creativity for the student of contemporary music.
Based on the Kodály method, and fusing concepts from both the common practice period and ethnomusicology, the Series consists of three video modules broken into ten episodes each: the Melody Module, the Harmony Module, and the Rhythm Module.
The Series also introduces the WARRENMUSIC Grid System; empowering students of all ages to sidestep the most common stumbling blocks associated with standard notation — staff and ledger lines, note heads and stems, key and time signatures — the Grid leverages fluency in relative pitch, chord analysis, and beat-awareness in an innovative, powerful, and simple approach to learning and transcription.
The WARRENMUSIC Grid System accomplishes this through integration of the Time Unit Box System with cipher notation and roman numeral chord analysis in a single, modular format. The experience is fast, visually intuitive, and readily transmissible between DAW software/MIDI sequencers, Excel/Google Sheets, monospace texts, and good, old-fashioned grid-lined physical notebooks. The Grid is instantly familiar to anyone with a formal background in sight-reading standard notation.
