music theory lessons
Description:
Music theory is a key part of musical development, especially for those wanting to work in the industry or continue music at a higher education level. We offer classes that range from the basics to advanced. We teach from the ABRSM Music Theory curriculum and teach and prepare students for their Grade 5 Music Theory Exam.
All LJMA students are heavily encouraged to take Music Theory lessons alongside their private lessons to ensure students learn with a strong and well-rounded understanding of music as a language.
