The fundamentals of music theory cover several key areas every learner should know.

• Reading music: Learning to read notes on a stave, understand time signatures, and recognise rhythmic values is the first step.
• Notes and scales: Understanding major and minor scales gives you the vocabulary to analyse any piece of music.
• Chords: Harmony explores how chords relate to each other within a key, shaping the mood of a piece.
• Intervals: Intervals underpin chord construction, melody writing, and aural training.

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

The 1 3 5 rule is one of the most useful concepts in music theory — it explains how basic chords, called triads, are constructed.

• 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): A major third produces a happy sound; a minor third gives a sadder, more introspective quality.
• The top note (5): It anchors the sound and gives the chord its sense of resolution and completeness.

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