Understanding music theory gives you wings

So, why deprive yourself ?

First, offer yourself a music appreciation course

Learn the basic principles of music theory: scales, modes, rhythms, musical notation and tonality. At the end of this course, even if you cannot yet read music, you’ll be able to look a score in the eye!

Continue with music theory classes

Music theory is the art of reading a score. In fact, when the course is well taught it’s a lot of fun! And the more you read, the more you can read. The veil is lifted on deciphering scores and sight-reading. Learning music theory brings freedom!

Then add a class in musical analysis

Just as literary work is built on principles and patterns so are musical pieces. In this course we explore musical structure, rhetorical figures, harmonic movement.

And for those who have already understood almost everything: counterpoint

Counterpoint is the art of improvising or writing polyphony. In the study of counterpoint we consider musical composition from a particular angle; we amuse ourselves avoiding the trap of the parallel fifth, and juggling dissonances and consonances.
