Music theory lessons are also ideal if you are one of the many
musicians who would like to begin writing, composing and publishing their own music.
Music theory lessons can be tailored to suit this particular requirement. Whilst many
fundamentals will remain for this, some will be bypassed so that
key elements for
composition can be concentrated on.
Key areas that will be worked on for writing
music are:
- Music Structure
- Key & Time Signatures
- Melody & Harmony
- Rhythm, Primary Chords & Cadences
- Music Notation
Compositions can be created and recorded during the session, to see the real practical benefits of
music theory.
Lessons are
£10 per half hour session.
Other costs incurred will be that of
music books and any external
examinations which are undertaken.
Progress is entirely dependant on the
individual.
Quality study time is the key factor to the speed of development.
To reach grade 5 will typically take one to three years, depending upon your prior
music experience. Reaching grade 5 will unlock the door for students to progress higher in their
practical studies. The syllabus for grades 6 and above however is still worth studying, especially for students wanting to take
music beyond GCSE level.
Music theory is a universal language and enables players of different
instruments, abilities and cultures to connect and collaborate. If you are considering pursuing a career in music,
music theory should be high on your agenda.
Examinations in
music theory

can be undertaken with the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (
ABRSM). This is the world's leading
music examination board and accreditation is universally accepted.
