Music Theory Lessons I have been a professional and touring musician for over 6 years and have studied music at a tertiary level. I have an extensive understanding and knowledge of music theory, musicianship and aural skills, music craft, composition, arrangement and songwriting.

My method of teaching is as transferrable as possible; this means you should be able to transfer knowledge from my lessons across to other musical instruments of interest.

I have a very unique way of teaching music theory that can be understood by all ages and levels of knowledge.

Lessons will be custom tailored for the student and objectives will be agreed upon before commencing. I believe in practicing correctly in comparison to constantly. My goal is to inspire my students so much so that practice does not feel like practice.

Topics of focus that can be selected for your tailored lesson are listed below. If there is something not listed please feel free to reach out and enquire.

- Understanding musical elements
- Understanding modes and scales
- Advanced concepts of songwriting and music composition and arrangements
- Being a useful and reliable musician in a group setting
- Efficient and transferrable practice techniques
- Elements of melody writing and improvisation
- Advanced music theory knowledge to assist working with other musicians

Music Theory Lessons I believe it is crucial to learn Theory of Music as this forms the basis of any instrument you may choose to learn. It is the foundation of a universal language in music. Having the understanding of Theory skills allows you to learn an instrument of your choice and be able to focus on the technique of that instrument without being hindered by not understanding rhythmic and melodic qualities etc. in the music.

In these lessons I work from the AMEB graded books which have been compiled to cover the requirements of the AMEB Theory/Musicianship syllabus which enables a complete understanding of this subject with plenty of practice exercises to consolidate your knowledge.

Music Theory Lessons Music theory is extremely useful to any musician and be very fun when taught in the right way. When I teach theory I focus on exploring 'why'. 'why' did the composer choose this chord? 'why' does this note resolve so well into this one?

I believe that theory is too often taught as a set of rules to be followed, a method which bores students and can stunt creativity. Instead I teach students how to apply theory to playing and writing the music that they love.

I'm also able to help students with preparing for the music theory section of the VCE music performance exam, the part of the subject that most students struggle with.

Music Theory Lessons ==Easter school holiday 2026 booking is now open==

The April school holiday booking is now open. 
Priority booking is given to students wishing to take an official exam during the holidays, with those on the waiting list following.

Date: Tuesday 7th April to 19th April 2026.

Using original memos that gather many important parts from many theory books. I also use “How to pass (BLITZ) theory” and “AMEB Theory of Music book” for workbook. Weekly or intense school holiday lessons and take an exam with good result.

Theory of Music, Grade 4 to 6 at studio or online
- Teach great skills for Harmony four-part vocal style, Melody writing, two-part writing etc,
- Detail explanation for the dance suite, set work for Grade 4, 5, 6,
- A lot of examples and practice questions to secure the skills.
- Experienced teaching home schooling music theory
- Report progression to parents constantly.

Homework check and send back with explanations
Especially, Cadences, Harmony Four-part vocal style, and creative writing etc. 
For example: I will check the Harmony questions and provide feed back as a homework check, so we can go forward to learn more contents in the lesson, rather than just checking the homework during the lesson.

At Studio: Mainly I use my memo and Blitz book, white board and cards, then students create presentations on what they have learnt at the end of the lesson. Many students said that music theory is so difficult, however, all my students are really enjoying the theory and most of the students has got A+ and A for the AMEB theory and musicianship exam. You can now enjoy to do The four vocal part writing and melody writing too!

Theory of music online:
- Use Zoom chat, very interactive lesson with student.
- Using original memo, Analyze the Harmony homework together etc.
- It’s a very interactive lesson, primarily student to Adult so all can concentrate 1 hour easily,
