Theory lessons

Justin specialises in theory for students wanting a deeper grasp on musical theory. 

 

Taking specialised music theory lessons is typically done to: 
 

  • Enhance and support high school music studies. 

  • Prepare for studying composition or electronic music production. 

  • The student is new to MJ Piano Studios and was unaware that in order to pass your AMEB practical exam from Grade 6 and up, you will need to pass a music theory exam.

  • Your existing instrument teacher outside of our studio does not teach music theory.

​​

Theory

 

Learning musicianship is a step-by-step process. Each week you will work through the stages of a structured workbook.   

 

Monitor progress

​​

​​​Students receive notes from their teacher at each lesson. 
 

Parents are also invited to sit through lessons in the comfort of our home studio. 

Well-rounded learning 

 

The majority of the lesson focuses on music theory, but higher grades also include: 

  • Developing aural skills

  • Developing composition skills

Theory v Musicianship?

​​

The primary difference between Musicianship and Theory is that Musicianship contains an aural component from 4th grade onwards. 

Some of the options...
