At ListenLoveLearn – we think the ability to understand music goes hand in hand with learning an instrument. We encourage our students to develop an appreciation for the mechanics and structure of music too.
We feel that knowing the theory and the technicalities of music can help to unlock creativity and also gives you the ability to clearly communicate and articulate your ideas to those you play music with – in particular to band mates!
Learn how to get your ideas on paper…
An appreciation for musical theory is often so important to the successful progression of a band from garage to pub to playing gigs… likewise from one that just plays covers to a band that plays and records original material.
You will learn how to compose and write your own songs, and how to transfer music from your imagination into music that you and your band mates can play together.
Our online music theory lessons cover all aspects of music theory including:
- Reading and writing music notation
- Rhythms, note values and time signatures
- Scales, chords and key signatures
- Transcribing for your instrument and other instruments
- Transposition
- Music terminology
We are also able to offer help and support with music theory syllabuses and graded exams for LCM, ABRSM and Trinity exam boards.
