MJ Piano Lessons
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.

​​​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
