Music Theory by Dr Kathy Winston

An innovative & self paced method of learning for teachers and students

11 Levels • 15 – 20 Videos per Level • 1 Workbook per Level

“I created the music theory courses for teachers and students alike. Following the ‘flipped classroom model, students watch instructional videos and learn music theory concepts at home or during lesson time. Concepts are reinforced through written workbook exercises. Students return to their lesson with an increased knowledge of music theory.”

Music Theory For Teachers

Free-up your time

Imagine not ever having to plan your music theory lessons so that you can focus your teaching and lesson time on what you love – repertoire, improvisation, and connecting with your students.

Flipped Classroom Model

Your students can watch a teaching video during lab time, or at home, then come back to the lessons with you ready to discuss what they learned.

Immediate Results

If a student gets stuck understanding something that is music theory related in their lesson, you can easily go to your course access and pull up a video, workbook page, and interactive exercise to help them understand and master that concept.

Music Theory For Students

Self-Paced Self-Study

Students can watch and rewatch instructional videos as needed, and “catch up” to their grade level, allowing them to create a unique sequence and timeline of comprehension.

Music Theory Exam Prep

Master state and AP theory examinations and prepare for university level classes by working through one level per year of study. Catch up as needed through self paced study at home.

Parent Assurance

Know that your child is learning a sequential level of music theory, preparing them not only for their instrumental performance success, but also giving them an edge in future college applications, regardless of their degree program.
