Bio/Research
Drew Nobile is an academic expert in the theory of pop and rock music. At the University of Oregon, he is an assistant professor of music theory. He teaches courses on rock and pop music as well as general music theory, Beethoven, and other topics. Drew has published analyses of music from the Beatles to Katy Perry, focusing on the construction of songs (chord progressions, melody, lyrics, arrangement of sections). His current book project is an investigation of songwriting conventions in classic rock and pop songs from 1963 to 1991; Nobile makes the case that across genres, decades, and continents, pop and rock songwriters tend to return again and again to a small number of conventional song types.
