Music theory rests on foundational ideas that make everything else click into place.

• Reading music: Learning to read notes on a stave, understand time signatures, and recognise rhythmic values is the first step.
• Notes and scales: Scales define the notes available in a key and are the basis for melodies and harmonies.
• Chords: Chords are built from scales and show how notes combine to create tension and resolution.
• Musical intervals: Intervals underpin chord construction, melody writing, and aural training.

Once you understand these foundations, progress in both performance and composition accelerates significantly.

In music theory, the 1 3 5 rule describes how to build a triad from any major or minor scale.

• The first note (1): The root is the starting note of the chord and gives it its name — for example, C in a C major chord.
• The middle note (3): The third note determines whether the chord is major (bright) or minor (dark), making it the most expressive note of the triad.
• The top note (5): The fifth adds stability and fullness to the chord without changing its major or minor quality.

A music theory tutor can show you how to apply this rule across scales, keys, and musical styles.
