Understanding music theory starts with its essential building blocks.

• 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 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.

A private music theory lesson in Warley costs approximately £26/h.

Pricing can vary based on:

• Your learning goals, whether exploring theory for pleasure or sitting formal exams
• The instructor's credentials and track record with graded music exams
• The duration and frequency of lessons
• The teaching mode (in-person or video call)

Many tutors offer package discounts for booking multiple lessons.

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 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 fifth (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.
