Individual instruction is strongly enhanced if accompanied by enrollment in music theory and sight-singing classes. The Academy will offer two levels of music theory and a separate aural skills class. Although private instruction naturally incorporates varying degrees of theory, these classes increase musical comprehension and skills. Students enjoy group games and activities in a social environment that allows more of the students’ private lesson time to be devoted to repertoire and technique. Twelve classes per semester taught at the Academy of Music.
Intermediate Theory
For middle and high school students with minimal theory background. Class will cover key/tonality, harmonic progressions, cadences. Study of scales, intervals, chord forms and their usage. Rhythmic and melodic dictation and sight singing.
Advanced Theory
Advanced theory and sight singing is for middle and high school students who have completed Intermediate Theory or have equivalent mastery of basic elements of music theory. Topics include diatonic and chromatic scales and models; four part writing and analysis of form and rhythmic and melodic dictation. Emphasis on developing ease and expertise with notation. Highly recommended for students intending to pursue a career in music.
