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.
• Pitch 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.

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

In Weston, expect to pay about £25/h for an hour of music theory tuition.

Pricing can vary based on:

• Your current level (beginner, intermediate, or preparing for ABRSM/Trinity grades)
• The instructor's credentials and track record with graded music exams
• The package you choose (one-off sessions or regular weekly lessons)
• The lesson format (online, at home, or at the tutor's)

Most teachers offer a trial lesson so you can assess their teaching style before committing.

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 root is the starting note of the chord and gives it its name — for example, C in a C major chord.
• The third (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.
