Music theory has you bushed, does it?
Confused already about tones, semitones, scales &
chords,
going to
be...
COMPLETELY confused soon if you
don't
get urgent help?
You've come to the right place. Not only am I a gifted and qualified
teacher I'm also a thoroughly-trained classical composer who has quite
a bit of experience in non-classical music.
Even if you've never touched a piano or electric keyboard I will sit
you down in front of one at every lesson. If you don't already have
some keyboard ability I'll include a beginner's course in piano
playing, all integrated into the theory lessons.
It's so much easier to
understand harmony and many other aspects of theory if you're sitting
at a keyboard. Playing everything yourself makes it so much more
'alive' and real. You
really don't want to learn sitting at a desk with pen and paper.
While I'm on the subject of pens & paper, you can learn all about
chords and harmony with notation, or without notation. That's your
choice.
I cover whatever you want, at your own pace, including:
PITCH
- Note names, tones & semitones, tetrachords, scales,
keys
- Intervals (diads), triads, extended chords (e.g. seventh
chords),
harmony
- Inversions of intervals, inversions of chords
- Use of chords, chordal progressions
- Modulations (key changes of various kinds)
- Musical form
- Melodic analysis (a speciality of mine)
RHYTHM
- Time signatures, beats, rhythms, simple time, compound
time
- Rhythm notation & rhythm learning systems
Years ago I taught students for their theory exams, but I no longer
offer theory exam preparation.
However, I really enjoy teaching all about music theory to
anyone who wants to learn for general knowledge, to help with their
musical understanding, or to enhance their theory or performance exams.
So if you want to quickly get an excellent understanding of all the
concepts of musical theory, from someone with deep insight into how it
all goes together to make music, give me a call.
