Music Theory

Music theory lessons cater to a wide range of students, from beginners looking to build a strong foundation to those preparing for specific exams, such as the ABRSM theory exams. These lessons are tailored to enhance your understanding of musical concepts and improve your overall musicianship, whether you're learning for personal enrichment or to meet exam requirements.

For general music theory, lessons cover key elements such as reading musical notation, understanding scales and key signatures, learning intervals and chords, and exploring rhythmic structures. More advanced topics include harmonic progressions, counterpoint, and analysing music from different styles and periods.

For students preparing for ABRSM theory exams, especially those aiming to achieve Grade 5 (a prerequisite for practical Grades 6 and above), lessons follow a structured approach aligned with the ABRSM syllabus. We cover essential exam topics, including transposition, chords and cadences and musical terms. Practice questions and past papers are included to ensure familiarity with the exam format and to build exam confidence.
