Develop a Strong Musical Foundation with Music Theory
A solid understanding of music theory is essential for any musician, whether you are a vocalist, instrumentalist, songwriter, or composer. Here at Chorus Music Academy, our music theory lessons provide students with the knowledge and skills to interpret, analyze, and create music with confidence.
While many students learn theory alongside their primary instrument, our dedicated music theory classes offer in-depth training that is perfect for those who want to deepen their musical understanding, prepare for exams, or improve their composition skills.
Our instructors guide students through notation, harmony, rhythm, ear training, composition, and analysis, ensuring they develop a comprehensive and practical understanding of music theory.
