Music Theory & Solfeggio
Master the language of music. Develop your musical ear, understand harmony and composition, and unlock deeper musical understanding through comprehensive theory training.
The Foundation of Musical Excellence
Comprehensive music theory and ear training for serious musicians
Music theory is the language that allows musicians to communicate, understand, and create. It's the bridge between the sounds we hear and the notation we read, between instinct and intention. Our comprehensive music theory program provides you with the knowledge and skills necessary to think like a musician, read music fluently, and understand the deeper structures that make music meaningful.
Solfeggio, the practice of singing and hearing musical intervals and scales, develops your musical ear in ways that transform your relationship with music. When you can hear intervals, recognise chord progressions, and understand harmonic relationships by ear, you gain a powerful tool for learning music, improvising, and creating your own compositions. This skill enhances every aspect of your musical journey.
Fundamentals & Notation
Begin your theory journey with the essential building blocks: note names, clefs, time signatures, and key signatures. Learn to read and write music notation fluently, understanding rhythm, pitch, and musical expression marks. These fundamentals provide the foundation for all deeper musical understanding and enable you to communicate effectively with other musicians.
Harmony & Chord Progressions
Explore how chords are constructed, how they relate to each other, and how they create the emotional landscape of music. Understand major and minor scales, chord functions, and common progressions across various musical styles. This knowledge empowers you to analyse songs, create accompaniments, and understand why certain chord combinations evoke specific feelings.
Ear Training & Solfeggio
Develop your musical ear through systematic ear training exercises. Learn to identify intervals, recognise chord qualities, and hear harmonic progressions. Solfeggio practice strengthens your ability to sing pitches accurately, hear relationships between notes, and internalise musical patterns. These skills dramatically improve your ability to learn music by ear and improvise confidently.
Building Musical Understanding
Our music theory curriculum progresses logically from basic concepts to advanced topics, ensuring you build a solid foundation before moving to complex material. Each lesson combines conceptual learning with practical application, so you immediately see how theory relates to the music you play and hear. This integrated approach makes theory engaging and relevant, rather than abstract and disconnected.
Rhythm and metre form another crucial aspect of our program. Understanding rhythmic patterns, time signatures, and syncopation helps you read music accurately and perform with proper timing. We explore rhythmic complexity across different musical genres, helping you develop the rhythmic sophistication necessary for advanced musical performance.
Form and analysis reveal the larger structures of music. Learn to recognise musical phrases, sections, and overall song structure. Understanding how composers organise musical ideas helps you memorise pieces more effectively, interpret music more meaningfully, and create your own compositions with intention and clarity.
Advanced topics include modal harmony, jazz theory, counterpoint, and composition techniques. As you progress, you'll discover how different musical traditions use theory in unique ways, expanding your understanding and appreciation of music across cultures and time periods. These advanced concepts open new creative possibilities and deepen your musical sophistication.
