Piano Theory Instruction
Develop the skills to read, understand, and apply music theory at the piano.
Music Reading
Build a reliable approach to reading music at the keyboard. Lessons can cover note names, staff reading, rhythm values, time signatures, and common musical symbols. Practice connects each concept to the piano, helping students recognize what they see and turn it into sound. Instruction adjusts to current knowledge and learning goals.
Harmony and Chords
Study how notes combine to form intervals, chords, and progressions. At the piano, students can hear and play these relationships while learning how harmony supports a melody. Lessons may include chord quality, inversions, basic progressions, and ways to identify harmonic patterns in familiar repertoire. Topics are introduced at an appropriate pace.
Theory for Repertoire
Use music theory to make sense of piano repertoire. Lessons can explore key signatures, scales, form, phrasing, and the patterns found in a selected piece. Connecting concepts to actual music helps students read with more intention and understand how a composition is organized. The material can suit different levels and musical interests.
