I learned a lot about music while studying Music Theory I .  I learned that music is an actual art.  It is not just a few sounds that sound good together, it is a perfected thing.  Each note or scale has a pattern and it is much more interesting and enjoyable than anything I have ever learned about on the subject of music.  I think the reason why I feel this way is because of the way the course is put together.  It helped me understand what music theory is, how reading music works, basic chords and theory.  L.S., 15 year-old student

For students, ages 9-adult. What is music? What is it made of? How do you "read" music, and play a piano or keyboard? One of our most successful courses, written by an experienced instructor in music theory, an orchestrator and the composer of over 1,200 songs.

Your student is the next Mozart, the next Bach, the next Elton John? This is the perfect starter course for a student who really wants to master music. Starting with the most basic information - what is sound, what is music - and working its way rapidly into how to read music, and how to play a keyboard, the mysteries of music are unveiled in fun, creative, exciting ways!
