Each week you’ll explore a new dimention of music theory, gradually building your confidence, your ear and your understanding of how music works.
Week 1 — Notation & Pitch
Build your foundation with the musical staff, clefs, pitch, and interval recognition (both aural and written).
Week 2 — Rhythm & Major Scales
Develop rhythmic fluency through note and rest durations, and learn to construct and identify major scales by ear.
Week 3 — Triads & Inversions
Explore chord identification, notation, and analysis. Train your ear to recognise triads and understand how inversions shape harmony.
Week 4 — Keys, Scales & Rhythm
Work confidently with major scales, key signatures, the Circle of Fifths, scale degrees, and rhythm‑recognition exercises.
Week 5 — Time Signatures & Transcription
Break down simple, compound, and odd time signatures while sharpening your rhythmic transcription skills.
Week 6 — Seventh Chords & Harmonic Colour
Advance your harmonic knowledge with seventh‑chord identification, notation, analysis, aural recognition, and inversions.
Week 7 — Minor Tonality & Harmonic Function
Dive into minor scales, diatonic harmony, Roman numeral analysis, chord‑progression recognition, and cadences.
Week 8 — Song Analysis & Consolidation
Bring everything together through full song analysis, revision, and student‑led exploration to reinforce your learning.
