Understanding music theory starts with its essential building blocks.

• Reading music: Stave reading, note values, and time signatures form the bedrock of musical literacy.
• Notes and scales: Understanding major and minor scales gives you the vocabulary to analyse any piece of music.
• Chords: Chords are built from scales and show how notes combine to create tension and resolution.
• Intervals: Intervals underpin chord construction, melody writing, and aural training.

With these fundamentals in place, more advanced topics like counterpoint, modulation, and composition become much more approachable.

The 1 3 5 rule is a simple but powerful principle that explains the structure of nearly every chord you'll encounter.

• The first note (1): The 1 is the foundation: the note the chord is named after and built upon.
• The middle note (3): A major third produces a happy sound; a minor third gives a sadder, more introspective quality.
• The top note (5): The fifth adds stability and fullness to the chord without changing its major or minor quality.

Understanding the 1 3 5 rule opens the door to chord construction across any key or instrument.
