Find music theory lessons near me in Norwich

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: 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: Intervals underpin chord construction, melody writing, and aural training.

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

The average cost of music theory lessons in Norwich is around £25/h.

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 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.
