Music Theory Tuition
Individual music theory lessons for students of any age who would like to understand how music works — whether for an examination, a school course, or simply to read and play with greater confidence.
What we cover
- Notation — pitch, note values, clefs and accurate written work
- Rhythm, metre and time signatures
- Scales and keys, including key signatures and modulation
- Intervals and their identification by eye and ear
- Chords, inversions and figured notation
- Harmony, including part writing and cadences
- Musical terminology, signs and performance directions
- Score reading — following and interpreting written music
- Grade 5 theory preparation where appropriate
Theory is always connected back to sound and to the keyboard, so that a rule is understood musically rather than learned by rote. Lessons can run alongside piano tuition or entirely on their own.
