Music Theory Lessons

Music Theory Sucks!

Ever feel like this when you’ve done music theory?

If you've done music theory before, you probably thought it was…

boring

confusing

and totally irrelevant to the popular music you want to play.

And you'd be absolutely right!

Traditional approaches to music theory are based around Classical music – they do not help prepare you for playing and writing modern styles of popular music.

The concepts are taught in a practical way that you can instantly apply to your playing or songwriting.
