music theory classes

Whether you're a complete beginner or an advanced musician, understanding music theory is the key to mastering your instrument and composing with confidence. Our music theory classes are designed to help you build a strong foundation, enhance your creativity, and take your musicianship to the next level.

Music theory is the language behind the music. It teaches you how music works – from scales, chords, and intervals to harmony, rhythm, and form. We offer music theory in both group and private tuition.
