Music Theory

During Session 3, we started going into some music theory but I suspect that many of you might have found it hard to grasp the concepts. Don't feel discouraged if this is the case because your learning curve has already been very steep in this class!

But do try your best to understand the theory that will be taught in the coming weeks. I encourage you to ask as many questions as you need to. Your tutors are there to help you out as much as they can.

You'd need to learn both the practical and theoretical side of music to excel in the instrument. You'll soon find that a good foundation in music theory will help you learn the practical side because you would understand what you are doing and not simply mimicking finger shapes.

See you all on Saturday!

  1. That is of course, assuming your tutors grasp the music theory as well!!! That, we can't guarantee....heheh

  2. If someone can re-explain to me the circle of fifths (which I learnt in band during high school), or in the case of the guitar (as I have discovered) the circle of forths (apparently easier to understand), I'd be a happy lad.
