The Weeks to Finally Go Deep on Theory
The stretch between winter break and spring recitals is the calmest water on the teaching calendar, and it is the best window all year to shore up the theory that gets skipped when performance season heats up. MusicTheory.net is the backbone I lean on for it: self-paced lessons that walk from basic notation to real harmonic thinking, with visual aids and immediate feedback so a student can work between lessons and actually know when they have it right. It carries a beginner and a conservatory-bound senior equally well, and it costs nothing.
Free, self-paced theory lessons and ear-training exercises with visual aids and instant feedback.
