This taster music theory session is suitable for adults working towards Grade 1 or Grade 2 Music Theory. Maybe you played when you were younger and would like to refresh your skills? Or perhaps you have recently taken up a new instrument?

What do I need to bring?

Please bring your theory workbook, a pencil and rubber.

Lessons take place in a spacious music room. The groups are kept small to maximise progress. Concepts will be explained clearly. Many of my students gain Distinctions in Music Theory exams. Lessons will cater to the needs of the students and there will be plenty of time to ask questions.
This is a taster session and classes will run on a weekly basis subject to demand.

If your needs differ (for example you are at a different level or of a different age group) please get in touch anyway to be put onto a waiting list for future groups.
