My music theory lessons are structured to build a clear understanding of how music works, rather than relying on rote memorisation. I focus on helping students understand underlying concepts so they can apply them confidently and independently.
Lessons are tailored to each student’s level and may include harmony, notation, analysis, rhythm, and other core areas of music theory. I provide clear explanations during lessons, along with structured tasks to complete between sessions to support steady progress.
I have experience preparing students for ABRSM and Trinity College London music theory examinations, as well as supporting learners at all levels of theory study. I also hold Grade 8 Music Theory.
I use teaching approaches developed from my own experience as a musician and educator, aiming to make theory more practical, logical, and accessible than traditional memorisation-based methods.
The goal is to help students not only learn theory, but understand it well enough to use it creatively and confidently in their own musical work.
