Intermediate Music Theory

This course is taught in a combination of the following: lecture, aural learning, and group discussion. This class is interactive and the learners are encouraged to actively participate in the aural skills and discussion part of the class. 

Students must have a solid understanding of major scales and a basic understanding of the natural minor scale. The first class contains a review of these topics, but it is important that students already have an understanding.

In this class, we will approach music in an engaging and practical way that is perfect for students at the intermediate level looking to build their knowledge of theory.  Each class will consist of a review of previous material taught for reinforcement and each class will build upon the previous. Miss Brooke is very patient and is passionate about teaching music to her students. She aims to teach this course in an engaging and interesting way. She looks forward to meeting and teaching your learner!
