Music Theory

Music Theory is the study of how music works. Students will learn about rhythms, scale construction, triads, clef reading, and basic transposition. These classes will be organized by age and level of experience. No prior knowledge of music theory is required to sign up. We will offer a more advanced class for students who are already familiar with the basics. The advanced class will cover harmony and basic part writing. Classes will run approximately 60 minutes. 

Ear Training/Aural Skills

Aural Skills, or ear training, is a branch of music theory in which students learn to identify pitches, intervals, melody, chords, and rhythm simply by listening to them. Students will also learn basic solfege which allows students to sing melodies at sight. Students do not need prior ear training to sign up. Students will be required to sing. These classes will be organized by age and level of experience. Classes will run approximately 60 minutes.
