Music Theory

Irvine Conservatory of Music aims to enrich solo playing and the knowledge and skills based around musical performance. This includes incorporating courses such as Music Theory (ear training and sight-reading available in group lessons closer to MTAC Certificate of Merit exam dates). The theory course will be used as a general learning experience focused on the foundation of music. It includes learning key signatures, intervals, chord structures, music analysis, and much more. Performance is only half the journey. Learning the structure of music is crucial to fully understand the music we play.

Our music theory courses also serve to prepare students for the Certificate of Merit (CM) exams happening in February through March and will be extremely beneficial for all students, whether they are dedicated music students looking to pursue a music degree in college or just the casual musician that is eager to learn.
