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 sight reading. 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.
