Students at the basic and intermediate level get one lesson a week in music theory and ear training. Students at the advanced level get one hour in tonal harmony, aural training and music history. We recommend that students start music theory as they are starting 5th grade in grade school.
Music Theory: At the basic and intermediate level the focus is on traditional music theory based on the Ópus books along with other material.
Tonal Harmony and aural training: Students get to know tonal harmony and aural training for beginners. The course takes place over two years. It takes place with lectures and assignments that for the most part take place during the lesson. Exams take place in the spring.
Music History: This will cover music history from the medieval times to today. The course takes place with lectures from the teacher and some from the students. There will also be a listening part. Exams take place in the spring.
