FAQ's

🎵 What should I learn in music theory?

Music theory builds on a set of core concepts that unlock how music works.

  • Notation and rhythm: Stave reading, note values, and time signatures form the bedrock of musical literacy.
  • Notes and scales: Scales define the notes available in a key and are the basis for melodies and harmonies.
  • Chords: Harmony explores how chords relate to each other within a key, shaping the mood of a piece.
  • Musical intervals: An interval is the distance between two notes — recognising them by ear and on paper is a core skill.

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

💰 What is the cost of music theory lessons in Galashiels?

The average cost of music theory lessons in Galashiels is around £35/h.

The cost depends on:

  • Your current level (beginner, intermediate, or preparing for ABRSM/Trinity grades)
  • The teacher's expertise and background
  • The package you choose (one-off sessions or regular weekly lessons)
  • Where the sessions take place

Online lessons are often more affordable while remaining just as effective.

🎼 What is the 1 3 5 rule in music?

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 root (1): The 1 is the foundation: the note the chord is named after and built upon.
  • 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): It anchors the sound and gives the chord its sense of resolution and completeness.

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