Music Theory

 

WHY MUSIC THEORY?

To become a holistic musician you must adopt the following:

  • a high level of technical achievement
  • performance - it is what musicians live for!
  • a deep understanding of musicianship

Music Theory is the underlying knowledge of being a musician and the backbone behind each great masterpiece. Musicianship is the study of music notation, harmony, analysis, history, composition and the training of aural skills.

MUSIC THEORY AT ORC

ORC now has a structured and comprehensive graded course. Under most circumstances, students commence in the beginner classes and progress at a grade-per-year rate. Students who come into the program with existing experience will be assessed before being placed in an appropriately graded class.

The ORC musicianship course uses the AMEB Music Craft syllabus. All students will be entered by ORC for external AMEB examinations, as a part of the course.

Tuition is available in the form of one-to-one, shared classes (maximum of three people) and group classes. The students who have undergone musicianship training do and feel better in their music studies, examinations and performances. At ORC, our music theory staff are highly qualified and creative and will ensure that each lesson is interesting and fulfilling.
