Why Consider a Music Theory Course?
Learning Music Theory is about learning a new language to be able to talk with other musicians successfully; you will need to learn this language extremely well. The problem is that most approaches to teaching music theory are anything but an essential music theory course. So what to use?
A significant amount of teaching music is focused on your instrument and the music elements are brought in one at a time, disconnected, just in time, and not thoroughly explored.
Taking a direct approach to learning music theory quickly and complete can and does accelerate your music learning experience.

How the Music Theory Course Works
What is music theory class and lesson like? This isn’t just a theory of music workbook, but it covers the fundamentals through proven methods of learning engagement.
You can learn more about the methods here: Music Theory Workshop Learning Methods.
Each lesson uses a method to connect the three sensors of Visual, Kinesthetic, and Auditory to give the best results for learning.
We combine the physical (writing and forming with the hands), the visual (reading with graphics and use of the staff and patterns), and the auditory (hearing by playing the parts on your instrument or a keyboard, or tapping with your hands, as well as speaking the principals) to help you visualize and feel the rhythm as you practice the scales.
Learning the essential music theory technique is based on setting goals and targets to accomplish those goals. We implement the following method to “get it down cold”:
- Know your goal
- Define targets to get to that goal
- Keep your goal in sight
- Provide a direct path to that goal
- Don't give up until you achieve your goal
With this, you have a clear vision of where you’re going and a direct path to get there. All you have to do is to apply focused attention and energy on a consistent basis and you will achieve your goals quickly and easily.
