Piano Program Music Theory Courses

An innovative & flipped classroom style of music theory instruction for students

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

“After teaching music theory at the university level, I discovered that students were going into college with extreme differences in their music theory knowledge. I created the Piano Program Music Theory courses to take the guesswork out of music theory curriculum design for teachers and studio owners. Ensure that all of your students successfully learn theory and reclaim your lesson time by integrating the courses into your teaching.”

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.

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.
