Finally, after much hard work and waiting, I am thrilled to announce the launch of my ABRSM Discovering Music Theory tuition programme. My lessons will guide you through each exercise, as you progress through each workbook, step-by-step. I am also pleased to announce the launch of my Patreon channel, which will provide the opportunity for instant access to all lessons without the interruption of adverts.

I love music theory and sincerely believe that it is of great benefit to any musician, it helps you to understand the music that you play and helps you become a more informed listener.

Thank you for sharing your learning journey with me. I look forward to delving into the subject together.

A bumpy return to choir rehearsals, and live music in general, caused the comment, “We need a Renaissance.” Like the Phoenix, we need to rise from the ashes of inertia and we need to embrace a love of learning, a love of the arts and music. Let’s take inspiration, roll our sleeves up and get involved - even if it has to just start in our own living room!

Music theory and analysis is so much more than dry (and difficult) exercises) - it’s like archeology! As you sift through the layers there is so much to discover. When learning a piece of music it can be so much more than just playing the blobs on the page. What was life like when the music was composed? What was the composer like? What form does the music take? It is SO interesting! The more you understand the music that you are playing, the better you will be at playing it - and you will get so much more enjoyment from your music as a whole!

Congratulations on your ABRSM Music Theory exam success! I’m so grateful to you for your hard work, and for getting such great results. I’m so very pleased that my music theory tutorials have been helpful to you. If you are working towards a theory exam be encouraged by the success of others and let it spur you on. Everything you need to know is right here on my YouTube channel. We’ve enjoyed a bit of a break, but now it’s time to get cracking! Special thanks go to those who have ‘bought me a coffee’ your generosity overwhelms me and I’m so grateful. Thank you so, so much.

New Year/New Me isn’t really my kind of thing, but I do love this sense of pause as a time to reflect and plan ahead, before we launch into a brand new year. It’s like “the deep breath before the plunge.” This sense of preparing for a fresh start gets me rummaging through my music books, sharpening my pencils and planning out the year ahead. I hope you will join me in all that the next year has to bring. In the mean time enjoy this lull… Happy New Year to you!
