At Clarkson Piano Studio we believe that Music Theory is one of the most underrated parts of majority of music student’s education. Typically viewed as “mandatory” and ”a requirement” for intermediate and advanced students (which also allows high school-aged students to achieve a credit towards their Ontario Secondary School Diploma), the fact is that Music Theory is so much more than just “how to write notes and scales.”

Sign up for Music Theory lessons: At Clarkson Piano Studio, we have a very different view of what is Music Theory: Everything to do with music up until a note is sounded! By changing our attitude about what it means to study Theory – ironically, very little of which is theoretical, but rather, quite practical! – we can engage students like never before. From learning why scales, intervals, chords matter, what we can build and create using them to working with real-world practical examples, our Music Theory program can enhance the practical instrument work while enabling new heights of musical achievement through true understanding and literacy.
