THEORY

Music theory helps in understanding the structure and framework, there by giving the learner a solid foundation. It enhances the knowledge pertaining to music notes to a different level and enables the learner to have a broad perspective of several key elements in it.

Starting with the simplest of things like note, beat, melody, and harmony, it stretches to a much detailed study. It strengthens the practical (instrument) learning by providing a deep insight into various aspects of music. Studying theory of music will augment the student’s abilities in other areas like sight reading, composition, music arrangement, etc.

The student will be equipped enough to effectively use the music tools in different areas, and be prepared to further the learning as required after completing the grades. The students are coached by expert faculty to ensure effective learning.
