Get Fluent in Musical Language
And understand how music theory works in practice.
I’m here to show you that music theory will boost your playing skills, and it doesn’t have to be boring.

Why Learn Music Theory?
When you understand the language, you’ll identify patterns and become fluent in your reading.
Right now, playing accurately and sight reading are probably challenging because you’re reading each note individually. Try reading the sentence below.
Ki lltw obir dsw itho nes tone
I bet you read it like a child learning to read. Now read the following sentence
Kill two birds with one stone
Easy ^^ right? That’s because your brain can immediately see the pattern.
Reading music notation is the same. And when you amplify this to harmony and musical form, memory recall becomes instantaneous and makes playing music much easier.
Understanding the language of music creates a deeper appreciation regardless of the style of music you play and gives you a musical voice.
✨ Introducing Music Theory in Practice-basic essentials ✨
A course designed for adults who want to learn how to apply music theory in a way that helps them play music better.
So often, theory classes and books supply you with knowledge, but they don’t cover how that works in practice. So it doesn’t help you play music better.
This course is different.
Music Theory in Practice basic essentials level is suitable for the following:
✅ Complete beginners
✅ Those who know a little theory but want to become fluent in the basic fundamentals.
❌ If you already know what the dominant chord is in a key, then you are probably ready for a more advanced level in this course.
