Why Most Music Theory Falls Flat —
Especially for Homeschool Students
The Problem Parents & Students Know Too Well
You’ve tried music theory worksheets… maybe even full textbooks.
But your student still says:
“I can play… but I don’t understand what I’m doing.”
The truth is — most music theory courses are made for:
🎻 Conservatory classrooms
🧪 College-level exam prep
🎼 Orchestra kids reading classical scores
That's why I created Essential Music Theory —
not to just teach rules, but to unlock musical creativity from day one.
I teach music creativity.”
What This Essential Music Theory Course Is Built For
✅ Homeschool students who want real musical understanding
✅ Creative learners who ask, “Why does this sound good?”
✅ Christian families seeking faith-integrated learning
✅ Worship musicians ready to lead, improvise, and grow
What Students Will Learn Essential Music Theory
A Practical Music Theory Path That Builds Real Musical Confidence
Reading Music & Rhythmic Foundation
Students learn how to read notes on the staff, identify clefs, and understand note and rest values. They'll develop rhythmic fluency, read time signatures, and understand how worship music is organized for live playing.
Tonality, Keys, & Harmony Foundations
From scales and key signatures to intervals and the Circle of Fifths, this section helps students “hear” how music works. These are the building blocks of worship songs and improvisation
Chords in Motion & Music Expression
Students move beyond theory into musical creativity — building triads, chord progressions, arpeggios, and embellishing tones to play more expressively and confidently in any worship setting.
