Do I have to do a separate Theory Class?

No, you do not. We teach our students music theory within the individual lessons, setting aside time each week to ensure the student is progressing in every aspect of their musical education.

Should you wish to add more time to your lesson, we can accommodate you. Please speak to the office staff, call or email.
