歌手和聲樂家音樂理論，初學者入門級

Welcome to our introductory course, "Music Theory for Singers with Miss Lenora."  In this 10 lesson course, young students will learn the basics of music theory for singers. The ability to read sheet music helps students identify notes, chords, and rhythms with greater ease.  As they continue to familiarize themselves with reading music, they are developing the ability to sight-read and sing more complex pieces of music.  Miss Lenora will have the students singing and strengthening their singing skills. 

Reading music is essential for singers to perform in choirs, auditions, musical theatre, music for commercials (jingles) and a future as a successful singer.

Miss Lenora's teaching approach is both supportive and inspiring, ensuring that each student feels encouraged to explore their musical potential. By the end of this course, young singers will not only have a stronger grasp of music theory but will also gain the confidence to perform with poise and artistry. Join us for a journey into the world of music that promises to be both educational and enjoyable.
