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

• 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.
• 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.

• The lesson format (online, at home, or at the tutor's)

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

• 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.

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