Music theory
Learn the language of music
In our Music Theory classes pupils will learn about notation, key signatures, time signatures and rhythmic notation. At intermediate and advanced levels pupils cover a broader range of topics such as composition, harmony and counterpoint.
Our theory classes are held in small, relaxed groups to help develop your child’s understanding of music.

For times and fees see the Music School timetable.

ABRSM theory exams grade 1-5
The ABRSM Grade 1-5 theory exams are now taken remotely online instead of at an exam centre on a specified date. This is more flexible for students, and parents can enter their child for the theory exams online. Students who are interested in taking theory exams should speak to their teacher to get advice. If you need any support with the online application process please contact the ABRSM directly or ourselves.
