It's our belief that every musician needs to have the theory knowledge that supports their playing, singing, or composing skills. Theory is often perceived as being rather dull, but at Music Matters we believe in making it fun, engaging, and fully relevant. This comprehensive course features all the content you would be expected to know for grades 1 to 5 theory, with detailed explanations and working examples, walking you through each area step by step in a clear and informative manner. You'll also see written examples for each topic and most importantly, we connect all the theory with sound, so you know exactly how each topic comes across in real music.
Sign up today. You'll soon feel really confident with music theory and it will revolutionise all your music making!
