Music theory lessons from an Associated Board Examiner. Face-to-face and online tuition available covering ABRSM Grades 1-8.

Next Blitz Grade 5 Theory Group Zoom class: Starts Wednesday 9th September 2026: 6-7pm (6 weeks)

Music theory tuition is delivered by an ABRSM Music Theory Examiner with considerable success guiding students through the Associated Board music theory exam syllabus grades 1-8. 

ABRSM’s Music Theory exams grades 1-5 provide students with an understanding of the basics of rhythm and notation in the treble and bass clefs. Grades 6 to 8 expand on this and covers harmony and counterpoint, composition and a broad knowledge of western music, including composers, structure, style and period.

I particularly recommend advanced music theory for students contemplating AS/A level music. Grade 6-8 also carry UCAS points.
