Intermediate Level
This Level 2 Music Theory self-paced class is great for learners looking to explore more advanced musical concepts and delve deeper into chords. Learners will get the most out of the class if they've completed my Music Theory Level 1 class or similar. They should be able to read music in both treble and bass clef, know the major scales/key signatures, and have a basic understanding of intervals. If you are unsure whether your learner is ready for this class, please reach out to me....
