What you'll achieve:

• Master reading and writing musical notation on the grand staff
• Understand and apply complex rhythmic concepts
• Gain proficiency in major and minor scales, including their construction and key signatures
• Develop ear training skills through interval recognition
• Create your own musical composition using learned theory concepts

Our teaching approach:

• Interactive lectures with plenty of opportunity for questions and discussion
• Practical exercises to reinforce each new concept
• Progressive skill-building from basic to advanced topics
• A final composition project to showcase your new knowledge

Weekly Lesson Breakdown:

1. Introduction to Notation: Pulse, meter, notes, rests, and staff basics
2. Rhythm, Notes, and Rests: Advanced note values, time signatures, dots, and ties
3. Notation and Time Signatures: Pitch notation, clefs, and further exploration of time signatures
4. The Staff, Accidentals, and Key Signatures: Deep dive into reading the grand staff and understanding key signatures
5. Half Steps and Whole Steps: Introduction to intervals and special scales
6. Major Scales: Construction and characteristics of major scales
7. Minor Scales: Natural minor scales and their relationship to major scales
8. Harmonic and Melodic Minor Scales (Part 1): Advanced minor scale concepts
9. Major and Minor Scales (Part 2): Further exploration of intervals and scale relationships
10. Final Composition: Apply all learned concepts in creating an original piece

By the end of these ten lessons, you'll have a solid grasp of music theory fundamentals and the ability to apply them creatively. You'll be well-prepared for advanced music studies, instrument practice, or composing your own music.

Learners will be introduced to eighth notes and rests, beaming of eighth notes, dots, and ties. They will learn about the relationship between notes and rests, writing notes, relative note and rest values, dotted notes, measures & time signatures, 3/4 time signature, 2/4 time signature, and note stems.

Lesson 3 Notation and Time Signatures 
In this lesson, learners will be learning about pitch notation, the treble clef, bass clef, and the grand staff. In addition, accidentals, key signatures, and enharmonic equivalents will be discussed. 

Lesson 4 The Staff, Accidentals, and Key Signatures
Learners will learn about half steps and whole steps, the chromatic scale, and the whole tone scale. 

Lesson 5 Half Steps and Whole Steps 
Learners will learn about the major scale, different scale degrees, major scales that use sharps, major scales that use flats. 

Lesson 6 Major Scales 
Learners will be introduced to the natural minor scale, the relative major/minor relationship, and the minor scale syllable names. 

Lesson 7 Minor Scales 
Learners will be introduced to the harmonic minor scale, ascending melodic minor scale, descending melodic minor scale, and minor scale key signatures

Lesson 8 Harmonic and Melodic Minor Scales (Part 1)
Learners will continue to develop their skills with intervals, perfect and major intervals, and understand the difference between major and minor. 

Lesson 9 Major and Minor Scales (Part 2)
Learners will learn more about the relationship between major and minor scales, perfect and diminished intervals, augmented intervals and compound intervals. Learners will do in-class exercises on different intervals that had been learned in the lesson. 

Lesson 10 Final Composition
Learners will compose a short piece using the concepts learned in class.
