WHY LEARN MUSIC THEORY
Music theory is the language of understanding music and to have the ability to connect emotionally with it, beyond the written notes, enabling the musician to fully comprehend what they hear. Theory assists the musician in explaining the music they hear, to interpret accurately different genres of musical style and to be able to play compositions exactly as composers intend. It allows the student to then progress to a level of being able to transcribe and compose music themselves efficiently, so that other musicians may fully understand their work. The ideas, rules and musical rudiments we learn in music theory, are very much like grammatical rules which govern written language.
THEORY CLASSES
There are one hour theory classes and half hour private theory lessons on offer to students of all levels. The lessons help prepare students for music theory examination grades, covering material from all the major examining bodies.
