Introduction to Harmony Theory with Danny Rico

This workshop provides in-depth fundamentals of harmony and focuses on cadences, extended chords, scales, modes, and harmonic relationships. Participants with basic prior knowledge in music theory—such as the distinction between major and minor, intervals, or four-part chords—can explore the theory practically on their instrument.

The workshop is aimed at instrumentalists and vocalists with several years of playing experience. Guitarists and bassists are asked to bring their own instruments. Additionally, two keyboards will be available for use by attendees.

The workshop is led by Danny Rico, an Austrian pianist, drummer, and composer. After completing his diploma studies at the Carinthian State Conservatory, he lived and worked in London and Lisbon, where he performed with various bands in the rock and alternative genres.
