In Preparatory Theory, your child will learn their whole first theory book along with me with step by step instructions on how to accomplish the work properly and they will develop a greater understanding of music. I am a teacher with over 20+ years of experience teaching both piano and theory, and have had countless students complete their RCM Theory Exams with an average success rate of over 82%. My teaching style is very fun, interactive and patient - and honestly, I love theory - so these courses are among MY FAVORITE to teach!
