Music Theory
Are you looking to write your own material but unsure where to start? Do you find yourself frequently making mistakes while playing? Or maybe you’re struggling to follow written music and can’t locate a specific note when asked? If so, music theory lessons could be exactly what you need!
When you’ve ever felt uncertain about which note to play next or found it challenging to keep pace with other musicians, having a solid foundation in music theory can make all the difference.
Although music theory is sometimes overlooked, it’s important to remember that music is a language. And, like any language, understanding it is key to forming words and sentences.

Plus, you won’t have to spend endless hours drilling scales, notes, or sight-reading. There are plenty of helpful tricks that will allow you to learn these concepts quickly and effectively. With just a few music theory lessons, you’ll unlock an entirely new level of playing!
