What you'll learn in music theory lessons

  • Ritmic and melodic reading in shortcode and shortcode.
  • Intervales, bigger and minor scales and armor.
  • Building chords, harmonic functions and frequent progressions in popular and classical music.
  • Hearing training: to recognize intervals and chords and to solve rhythmic and melodic dictations.
  • The analysis of songs and works, including the writing of the bambuco and its classical discussion between 3 / 4 and 6 / 8.
  • First steps in composition and arrangements, if that's your goal.

When can you start?

Any age

The music theory isn't at a strict minimum age: with young children it's playfully addressed within musical initiation or an instrument class and as an independent matter usually works best from 9 or 10 years old, with more capacity for abstraction. It's an indicative reference that depends on every child. Adults can start at any age, have or have no experience with an instrument.

What do you need to start with?

  • A pentatramate and pencil notebook.
  • Access to an instrument, ideally a keyboard, to listen and check what you study.
  • If the teacher suggests, an application of musical notation or hearing training.
  • For virtual classes: stable connection and a device with a camera and a large screen helps to read shared scores.

Why learn music theory

  • That's how you learn about Repertoire more easily, because you understand its structure rather than memorizing note by note.

  • You better communicate with other musicians by rehearsing, repairing or playing as a group.

  • It gives you concrete tools to improvise, compose and make arrangements.

  • Strengthen your ear, and that's reflected in your tuning and your listening to music.

Questions about music theory lessons

Can I take sight-singing and ear-training lessons with a teacher?

Yes. Music theory lessons can cover rhythm reading, sight-singing, interval recognition and dictation. Tell us your level and what you find difficult so we can recommend a teacher and agree on a focus. Between lessons, use our free ear-training tool; if you are preparing for an entrance exam, see our music entrance preparation lessons.

Do I need to play an instrument to study music theory?

It's not required but it helps a lot: the theory gets meaningful when you listen and play it. If you don't play anything, a simple keyboard will be enough to check scales and chords. Many students combine the theory with piano classes. or other instrument.

Is music theory boring?

It depends on how you teach them. The classes have been drawn from the music that you care about, from songs that you know, from ear exercises and applications to the instrument, so every concept has a for what. The teacher sets the focus to your goal.

What's the difference between theory and harmony and solphis?

The theory is the general framework: notes, rhythms, scales, intervals and chords. The solpseus focuses on reading and tuning a score or marking its rhythms, and harmony studies how chords are combined and how they move with each other. The classes are worked with an integrated form as per your level.

Can I have some good if I have to study music professionally?

Yes: theory, solphis and hearing training are the basis that are often required by musical training programs. Tell the teacher about your goal and how soon you count so that you organize a matching plan. Preparation times depend on your starting point.
