Intermediate Music Theory Intensive

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. 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 will have the opportunity to ask questions at the end of each class.
