A brand new, 8 week, course helping you to prepare for the ABRSM Grade 5 Theory exam
While learning all the requirements for the exam, I will also ‘debunk’ some of the myths and difficulties surrounding ‘theory’. Everything will be introduced in musical context and not just as an academic exercise as I find this helps you retain the information while at the same time understanding how and why things work.
Course Dates:

Maximum 4 students per class and each class lasting an hour.
