Why Study Theory
The study of theory is essential for any musician. Analogous to grammar and syntax in language, understanding music theory allows the musician to perform their pieces knowledgeably and more convincingly. It is essential for anyone wishing to compose or improvise.
Dedicated theory lessons offer the additional time that is often scarce during normal piano lessons, and allow for a deeper, more meaningful approach to the subject.
Theory lessons are mandatory in any music institution, and are highly recommended for those taking their musicianship seriously.
Whether you are interested in pursuing the RCM Theory curriculum and certification, or simply wish to deepen your understanding of the laws of music, theory lessons will complement your practical studies and give you the confidence and knowledge required of a professional musician.
