Roseann has a very pleasant personality and makes learning the guitar enjoyable and exciting for my six year old daughter. She gives clear and concise instructions that my daughter can understand and follow on her own while practicing at home.

Ahmad makes you feel comfortable and really understands the way that people learn and how to teach in the most effective way. The guitar is a tough instrument to learn and you want to learn from someone knowledgeable and patient and that's exactly what Ahmad is."

Online Music Theory Lessons
Music Theory Class Online
Music theory is the study of music concepts, which explores principles, methods, and processes. This subject analyzes how musicians approach creating music, taking into account a variety of aspects, from music notation to tuning systems. It focuses on a wide range of music fundamentals, including pitch, scales, dynamics, texture, among others.
While anyone can pick up and learn how to play an instrument, studying music theory can help a musician further explore the music world and develop a greater understanding and appreciation for their instrument. Because there are so many pieces to learning music theory, sometimes it’s best to turn to the experts for guidance. Here at TakeLessons, we feature certified instructors who specialize in teaching
music theory. When you sign up for our music theory online lessons, you will receive the tools you need to master all things music.

What Does it Mean to Change a Key? To change a song’s “key” means to shift the whole musical system to a higher or lower position. This process is called “transposition.” Performers often need transpose a song to better fit their voices. That way, a performer with a naturally lower singing voice (like myself) will be able to more comfortably sing a song that was originally written for someone with a naturally higher voice. Or vice versa. For singers, transposition feels fairly …

One of the most common weaknesses for amateur musicians is a lack of music theory knowledge. Many people assume that learning theory is difficult (it isn’t) that it has no practical purpose (it does), or even that it will actively make them worse at making music (quite the opposite).

Here are five reasons w …
