Music Theory Lessons in Dundee. Amazing Teachers.

Step by Step Approach

Music theory can be studied as a separate lesson or it can be incorporated into a performance area. As a music teacher of 47 years, I have primarily taught music theory as an integral part of my music lessons. I believe that learning music theory works best when using the piano keyboard.

Note Reading, Modes, Arpeggios, Chord Construction, Modern Jazz Theory. Musical Pieces are used to illustrate.

I have been teaching this subject for over 17 years. There is no specific curriculum as each student will come to lessons with their own unique skills, needs, and goals. Lessons are tailored to those specifics. Theory lessons are usually taken in conjunction with performance lessons (an instrument or voice) so they can make practical application of what they learn in theory. Beginner students start with fundamentals of notation, and tonal harmony. Lessons for more advanced students will include form, analysis, modal, tonal, and extended tonal harmony, contemporary procedures, and more. Lessons are a minimum of 60 minutes once per week. Students should come to the first lesson prepared to discuss their background & goals and the plan of their course of study. Theory lessons are particularly good as extra support for classroom work.

Would you like to learn the basics of rhythm, sight singing, and the foundations of music? Then music theory is a place you should begin! You will learn to read music the same way that you read a book, sound out rhythms like you would sound out letters, and understand form the way you understand a paragraph!
