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

• Notation and rhythm: 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 and harmony: 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.

A private music theory tutor can guide you through these concepts in the right order and at your own pace.

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

• The root (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 fifth (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.
