ABOUT EIS®

This course includes: Harmony, Melodic Development, Composition, Arranging and Orchestration. The Equal Interval System® is a complete method that proposes new relationships and techniques unique to Horizontal Composition, while encompassing Diatonic, Classical, Contemporary or Pop sounds, and approaches them from an original point of view having nothing in common with other known methods. The techniques learned can be used in any musical context.

HORIZONTAL COMPOSITION

Horizontal Composition refers to the creation of individual horizontal lines that will agree vertically in the same manner music is heard. All of this is accomplished with only half a dozen rules and practice. This allows for greater flexibility, melodic interest, and speed when composing or arranging.

COMPOSE MORE QUICKLY

Since EIS® has a simplified and highly accurate method of organizing all of the horizontal and vertical intervals used in modern music, musical decisions are made quickly and efficiently. New and fertile ideas are presented throughout over 1,200 pages of text that serve as not only a basis for instruction but a treasure trove of musical possibilities to inspire the creative individual. Each student finds their unique voice through the course work. Graduates find they have the ability to write better, faster, and with less mental blocks.
