London School of Music offers introductory Music Theory lessons for small groups.  With the aim of providing you with the necessary tools to understand and apply the basic building blocks  behind your favourite pieces, we will also ensure that you can confidently begin to read and write music for your instrument or voice.  All lessons include hand-outs and practical exercises for you to try at home.  

 

Music Theory Lessons will cover:
