Music Theory for all
Understanding the theory of music is essential for anyone wanting a full music education.
Pupils who have a good understanding of music notation are likely to learn pieces quicker, sight-read better, and develop a deeper knowledge of music in general.
For anyone learning to play an instrument who wishes to take ABRSM Grade 6 or above, a certificate in Grade 5 Theory is a requirement (although Jazz Piano and Practical Musicianship are offered as alternatives - please ask if you are interested in either of these).
Music theory also provides essential knowledge for those considering music at AS and A'Level, or who wish to study music at higher education.
For these reasons, music theory is a built-in feature of good music teaching from the earliest levels of playing. However, once pupils reach around Grade 2 piano / Keyquest 3, it becomes increasingly important for them to study music theory in more detail.
Here's what is on offer from Keyquest Music:
Private Theory Lessons can be arranged for individuals as a 30-minute weekly lesson, or for those already having individual private tuition can be added to their existing lesson, for example by extending the piano lesson length to 45 minutes weekly. Please contact Andrew to discuss this option if you are interested.
