In our first episode of 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 by Hooktheory, our co-founder Ryan Miyakawa sits down with UK-based composer, pianist, and beloved music theory YouTuber, ‪David Bennett. Join us as we unpack his journey from self-taught pianist to one of the internet’s top music educators, his thoughts on why the Beatles remain untouchable, and how modern pop production is shaping the future of music. 🎶

We also dive into David’s own songwriting process, why music theory should start with the music, and his optimistic take on AI’s place in creativity.
