The course is divided in 11 short videos, each lesson being accompanied by an outline and a worksheet. An answer worksheet is also provided.

The student should answer the question in the worksheet and check his/her work with the answer sheet. I highly recommend that the student does not skip the assignment sheets.
Music theory is very important for a musician; it gives the student a better understanding of the music he/she performs and it is a structural platform for improvisation, composition, transposition, sight-reading, etc. Music theory is the grammar of the musical language and we need to know it in order to speak the language of music correctly. It helps us understand how music fits together and why it sounds the way it does. For a person desiring to become a musician, music theory is a must.
I am looking forward to help you in any way I can. I have been a professional piano teacher for over 25 years and played the piano in many concerts, recitals, accompanying and conducting choirs over the year. I have written many pieces for choir and small ensemble and orchestrated and recorded many CDs. I will do my outmost to help you understand the topics in this course. Just ask if you need any help!
