Music theory
Music theory sessions provide learning opportunities focused on the fundamental concepts of music, uch as notes, scales, chords, and rhythm. Offered both online and in person, these
sessions are tailored to suit all skill levels, from complete beginners to those preparing for
advanced exams.
They often include practical exercises and musical examples to reinforce
understanding and application. For beginners, combining traditional instruction with modern tools can significantly accelerate progress and deepen musical insight.
Returning to playing and improving technique
Experienced players can benefit from refining their skills,
exploring new repertoire, and enhancing their musical
expression. Lessons can be customised to individual goals, whether it's preparing for performance opportunities,
