12:25 "So, can chords control you?"

My name is Christopher Wills and I'm a professional composer, orchestrator and pianist of music for film, television, Broadway musicals and symphony orchestras. You can hear me in blockbuster Hollywood movies and televised concerts. Many know me as "Professor Wills," so I'm also an educator at three universities. My consuming passion is the magic of harmony (progressions, voicings), and I'd like to share that passion with you and empower you to thus expand your chord vocabulary so you may experience a new kind of expressive freedom as you compose and improvise!

This tutorial channel is designed in particular for music theory students and improvising keyboardists of any genre, though it may appeal to anyone who is interested in the language of music. Our videos aim to present material with clarity and hopefully a little entertainment along the way!
