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.
