Who are these classes for?
TL;DR — For anyone who has ever thought to themselves — “Even though I can play all these classical pieces, I don’t know what i’m doing.”
Specifically, these classes would suit musicians who:
- want to learn how music works
- can play advanced pieces on their instrument but cannot harmonise even a simple tune (like “Happy Birthday”)
- are sick of the ABRSM exams
- want to fill the gaps in their musical education
- want to clarify years of music theory confusion
- want to learn powerful music theory concepts applicable to classical music performance
- cannot identify harmonies when they listen to music even though they have been learning music for years
- want to satisfying their intellectual curiosity and ask questions they’ve always wanted to ask or have asked but not received satisfying responses
- are not learning what they feel they should be learning despite progressing up the ABRSM grades
- feel like they are no closer to understanding how music functions despite being able to play many difficult pieces on their instrument or despite having completed all the ABRSM theory exams or even despite having obtained a music degree from a reputable conservatory or college
- always feel like there’s a piece missing in their music education
- don’t understand how harmony works even though they can label the chords in a piece of music
- try to harmonise a Bach chorale melody, but end up with many voiceleading errors, and then finally resort to a trial-and-error approach to rectify these errors (with limited success)
- can’t improvise even at a basic level despite being able to play advanced classical repertoire
- would like to write their own music, but don’t know how to
